OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Everyone welcome!
Doors open from 5:30pm; the event starts at 6pm

Joshua Arnott, Environmental Scientist, Atkins: “Using SuDS Studio™ to map retrofit opportunities in urban spaces”
Josh will introduce SuDS Studio™, a GIS application to identify opportunities for retrofitting sustainable drainage systems in urban and semi-urban environments. Josh will cover how the Tool was developed, its application for the Greater London Authority and Thames Water, and the SuDS solutions generated for each location examined.
