DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Franz Essl\nhosted by Martin Hetzer\nAbstract: Welcome
  to the Anthropocene! For the first time in planetary history\, one specie
 s has become the dominating biophysical force. Consequently\, humans are d
 riving the redistribution of biota at an unprecedented scale\, with enormo
 us and rising consequences – for the future of biodiversity and human li
 velihoods alike. While many species are declining and heading towards exti
 nction\, other species are being moved around the globe by humans\, essent
 ially changing global biogeography. This human-induced introduction of spe
 cies into new regions – so called biological invasions – have become a
  defining signature of the Anthropocene.In his talk\, Professor Essl will 
 synthesize key insights into global patterns and drivers of biological inv
 asions. He will highlight likely future trajectories of this phenomenon\, 
 present main advances in invasion science\, and identify new avenues to im
 prove the understanding of alien species spread and impacts. Finally\, he 
 will provide a perspective on priority questions for biogeography and biod
 iversity conservation resulting from the global re-shuffling of species.Bi
 oProfessor Essl's work is centered at the crossroads of Invasion Science\,
  Macroecology\, Biogeography and Conservation Biology\, with a strong focu
 s on human-environment interactions.  He teaches at the Department of Bot
 any and Biodiversity Research at the University of Vienna\, and he was el
 ected Austrian Scientist of the Year 2022 by the Klub der Bildungs- und Wi
 ssenschaftsjournalisten (Club of Education and Science Journalists).  H
 e has published more than 300 publications and his work has been recognize
 d by including him in the list of "Highly Cited Scientists" by Clarivate s
 ince 2018.VISTA Science ExperiencesIn addition to the talk of Professor Es
 sl\, VISTA Science Experiences offers extra programming:ISTA Lecture Young

 elcome to sign up for the Young Lounge where they can meet the speaker ahe

 bition: TURNING THE ECOLOGICAL GEARSVISTA currently presents a pop-up exhi
 bition by interdisciplinary designer Sophie Falkeis and The Encounters Lab
 \, revolving all around Species Redistribution Ecology. The installation 
 temporarily resides inside a prospective Electron Microscopy Lab inside 
 the new Moonstone Building and will be open from 6PM to 8PM for visits a
 nd further conversations.Photo © Thomas Lehmann
