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
The poles represent one of the last great frontiers to civilisation, a vast wilderness rich in resources yet largely untouched by modern human intervention. As future population and energy demand increases the need for access to the Earth’s resources expands. Do the poles represent a future viable and ethical region to exploit? This seminar session seeks to discuss and debate the geopolitical sphere surrounding use and access to polar resources, as well as the potential implications to the natural world. Can we develop the technologies to exploit these reserves in a socially and environmentally acceptable way?
