OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Whenever there is a weather or climate disaster, people ask how arre it was and whether the odds have changed duie to anthropogenic global warming. Answers used to range from “everything has changed” to “we have always had these events”. We can now give a scientifically defensible answer within a week or so. This is accomplished by doing as much of the work as possible ahead of time and using a template to automatise the process as much as possible. This is illustrated by the real-time attribution we did for the extreme precipitation that caused flooding in France and Germany at the end of May.
