This research expedition of the Young Researchers is dedicated to Climate Change.

The Young Researchers will study the evidence of past climate changes and their effects on ecosystems.

They will try to find out the species of plants and animals that lived in the Petrified Forest 20 million years ago.

They will attempt to draw conclusions about the climate of the area at that time.

They will look for information on the species of plants and animals that live today in the Aegean region and are characteristic of the Mediterranean climate.

They will compare the fossilized plants with the present-day plants of Lesvos. How many have survived?
