About the event:
From July 1 to July 6, 2024, the scientific center “ Smart Urban Nature research center” ATI RUDN University organized an international scientific seminar “Monitoring, modeling and management of urban soils and green
infrastructure.”. The event was held in a mixed format. Working language – Russian, English.
The international scientific seminar was devoted to the study of environmental, anthropogenic, social and other processes of urbanization and their impact on soil functions. Participants learned about new approaches in environmental monitoring and modeling of urban ecosystems, studied the biochemistry of urban soils and plantings, examined issues of ecosystem services and urban climate, and also became acquainted with technical innovations in studying the urban soundscape.
