On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Victoria, Australia has experienced multiple large-scale power outages due to heatwaves, which are expected to intensify with future climate change, posing a risk to the security of the state’s electricity system. This talk will examine the impacts of extreme temperatures on transmission, distribution, generation and whole-system dynamics. It will present findings from a probabilistic assessment of system and component-level risks under current climate conditions compared with a projected 2°C future scenario. The talk will also discuss the limitations of current policies and how incorporating climate-informed planning can help address the energy trilemma – ensuring net-zero investment is cost-efficient and future-proof.
