Ohio University's Science Café presents Kim Thompson and David Rosenthal discussing "Planting Rooftops around Town – Benefits and Challenges of Green Roofs" on Wednesday, Dec. 7, at 5 p.m. at the Baker Center Theater on the second floor of Baker University Center and via YouTube.
Ohio University is known for its beautiful campuses and focus on sustainability. In 2020, Thompson and Rosenthal helped lead an interdisciplinary team to install the university’s newest green roof on Schoonover Center. And while green roofs provide many advantages - slowing stormwater runoff, providing a habitat for other living organisms, and cooling and extending the life of roofs, they can be a challenge.
Join Thompson and Rosenthal, faculty in the Department of Environmental and Plant Biology, as they discuss the benefits, challenges and educational and research opportunities of green roofs.
