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
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.
