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
Climate change causes more extreme rainfall, which can intensify river flooding. However, rainfall extremes are not the only factor governing flooding, which is reflected by observed flood trends that often oppose those of extreme rainfall. Here we use large-sample catchment studies to discuss how land-surface conditions curb flood trends at a continental scale.
