Prof Nathalie Seddon & Prof Cameron Hepburn in conversation: 'Evaluating and investing in Nature-based Solutions'
Panel discussion Plant sciences Zoology
Thursday, 17 June 2021, 12.30pm to 1.30pm
Nature-based solutions (NbS) can contribute to the fight against climate change up to the end of our century. But the world must invest now in nature-based solutions that are ecologically sound, socially equitable, and designed to deliver multiple benefits to society over a century or more. Properly managed, the protection, restoration and sustainable management of our working lands could benefit many generations to come.
90 degrees south: detecting invisible messengers of the cosmos
Lecture Panel discussion Physics
Friday, 11 June 2021, 6.30pm to 7.30pm
This event will give a unique insight into the extraordinary IceCube Neutrino Observatory in the South Pole. The first detector of its kind, IceCube uses the South Pole's ice to see neutrinos from outer space and an international collaboration of some 300 physicists from 53 institutions in 12 countries use IceCube's findings to further our understanding of the Universe. Professor Daniela Bortoletto, Head of Particle Physics at Oxford, and Professor Subir Sarkar, who leads on the IceCube experiment in Oxford, will be linking up live with IceCube's current 'winterovers' – the two people who stay at the South Pole to maintain IceCube during the winter months. Dr Jim Madsen, Executive Director Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center and Gwenhaël de Wasseige, MSCA Individual Fellow, Laboratoire Astroparticule et Cosmologie, will also be joining.
