HaliDa Dinova : Piano
With Guest Speaker Dr Kevin Mueller (Biological, Geological and Environmental Sciences CSU)
Special Guest Dr. Alan Tartakoff Division of General Medical Science at Case Western Reserve University



This event is part of ClimateKeys, a 'glocal' initiative launching with over thirty concerts in nine countries during October & November 2017 to raise public engagement with CoP23, the 2017 UN climate talks taking place in November. ClimateKeys, founded by London-based composer pianist Lola Perrin, features concert pianists and climate change experts collaborating in performances that include a conversation with the audience about positive response to climate change. To date, over a hundred concert musicians and guest speakers in twenty countries have joined ClimateKeys. More concerts are being planned through 2018. ​

“Ten years ago, after reading Al Gore’s "An Inconvenient Truth" I started to think more about the issue of global warming... Just this summer I was witnessing a climate change in Russia. June and July in Kazan, my hometown (824 kilometers East of Moscow) were usually hot in summer months. Then during the summer, it felt like a fall-like weather with a constant rain, meanwhile in Siberia there was a heat wave and a drought. NASA Images shown on TV news captured "worst Siberian wildfires in 10 000 years"; these burned 538 square kilometers of forest in southern Siberia this summer. "Climate change has been increasing temperatures across the globe, but northenmost regions, like Siberia, are experiencing temperature inclines at twice the rate...Not to mention, these wildfires can hasten the melting of Arctic ice, which is disappearing at alarming rate not just in Russia, but in Canada and Alaska" ( ScienceAlert). I strongly believe that now is the time for all of us to participate in saving our planet by creating awareness and raising the funds for that cause.” (HALIDA DINOVA - PIANIST)

KEVIN MUELLER is assistant professor at Cleveland State University. My primary area of research is the ecology and biogeochemistry of temperate forests and grasslands, with an emphasis on plant-environment interactions. For example, he has studied the impacts of climate change, land management, and diversity loss on ecosystem functions of North American grasslands. He frequently uses measures of plant functional traits or stable isotope ratios to better understand a variety of ecological concepts and biogeochemical processes, including how plants respond to the environment and interact with cycles of water, nutrients, and carbon.
