OxTalks is Changing
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.
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.
