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
As floods globally increase in magnitude and frequency, there is increasing concern over the proximity of toxic sites to high flood risk areas. This talk covers the existence of, and risks associated with, toxic sites and hazardous floods and the need for a novel hazardous flood vulnerability index to determine/identify vulnerable communities. It will also delve into the GIS/remote sensing and environmental justice methodology and reasoning behind the proposed creation of the index and its applicability in the United States and around the world.
