UC Berkeley professor Joe McBride will soon visit the University of Navarra to give several sessions at the first module of the Master's Degree in Biodiversity, Landscapes and Sustainable management . Specifically, the professor of Landscape and Environmental Planning, and expert in forest ecology and urban landscaping, will speak on urban landscapes. He will also offer the students of Master's Degree the opportunity to take part in an urban painting workshop.

Professor McBride's work focuses on the relationships between the ecological characteristics of the biome in which a city occurs and the composition, structure and function of its urban forest; the implications of global climate change for urban forest tree species selection; or how historical events and cultural attitudes influenced the composition and structure of urban forests.
