In tribute to professors Luis Cruz Pizarro, Rafael Morales Baquero and Pedro Sánchez Castillo.
The sixth edition of the citizen science conference “Lagunas de Sierra Nevada” has ended successfully after three intense days of activities between July 18 and 20. The event, held at the Albergue Universitario de Sierra Nevada, has been organized by the University of Granada in collaboration with the Sierra Nevada Natural Space (ENSN), within the framework of the campaign “74 Glacial Oasis of High Mountains” and within the framework of the Sierra Nevada Global Change Observatory.
This year’s edition brought together more than 60 participants, among researchers, volunteer mountaineers and technicians of the ENSN, consolidating this initiative as a national reference in the intersection between science, environmental management and citizen participation. Besides, tribute has been paid to three pioneers of the limnological study in Sierra Nevada during the 1980s: the professors Luis Cruz Pizarro and Rafael Morales Baquero, from the Department of Ecology, and Pedro Sánchez Castillo, from the Department of Botany, all of them from the University of Granada. Their research laid the foundations for numerous lines of work that today place the Sierra Nevada at the forefront of the study of global change.
The opening ceremony was attended by Linarejos Rosario Pérez, Director of Conservation of the Sierra Nevada Natural Area; Eugenia García Rubiño, Coordinator of Citizen Science at the University of Granada; and Pedro Sánchez Castillo, from the Department of Botany, all of them from the Department of Botany, all of them from the University of Granada.
