Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
This symposium brings together global experts on the processes that cause drought and their consequences.
Droughts threaten societies, economies and ecosystems worldwide with damaging effects that can lead to significant losses. Yet our ability to characterise and predict the occurrence, duration and intensity of droughts, as well as minimise their impacts, is often inadequate.
A range of expert speakers give their perspectives from both academic and practitioner viewpoints, on the impact of drought and how to manage drought risk in the UK and globally.
This event is organised and subsidised by the MaRIUS project, and forms part of the UK Droughts and Water Scarcity programme.
