OxTalks is Changing
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
Developing a Novel Hazardous Flood Vulnerability Index
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.
