Welcome back to "Numbers & Narratives"! Join hosts Laura Edinger-Schons and Judith Stroehle as they dive into the fascinating world of alpine lake ecology with special guest Professor Marie-Elodie Perga from the Université de Lausanne in Switzerland.

Marie brings a wealth of expertise in alpine lake ecology and biogeochemistry, focusing on understanding how these ecosystems respond to environmental changes. Through her research, Marie investigates the vulnerability and responses of alpine lakes to climate change and human exploitation, using a combination of paleo-ecological reconstructions, monitoring data, laboratory experiments, and modeling.

In addition to her work in lake ecology, Marie explores questions related to the sustainability of the research process itself, contributing to broader discussions on sustainability and evidence-based policymaking.

In this episode, Laura and Judith explore the role of data in managing sustainability, with a special focus on alpine lakes. They discuss the importance of basic science in the sustainability transformation, providing the foundation for evidence-based policies and management practices.

Join us for an engaging discussion that promises to broaden our understanding of the intricate relationship between data, science, and sustainability.
