Under Threat: Major Threats to Forests in a Warmer World: a story of drought and fire

Each year, the Art Collection's exhibitions, events and workshops are directly inspired by the research of the University. This year the focus is on the environment, and with the umbrella title ‘Under Threat’ we highlight a variety of pressing issues.

The Art Collection has worked with Professor Alistair Jump, Head of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Stirling, to curate this exhibition highlighting impacts of environmental change. Professor Jump is a Global Change Ecologist whose research focusses on understanding and predicting the way that rapid changes to our environment through processes such as climate change, habitat destruction and land-use change will impact the natural systems on which we all ultimately depend.

Images were contributed by environmental professionals working in Argentina, the Catalonian and Guadalajara regions in Spain, New Mexico, California and, closer to home, in the Highlands of Scotland.
