OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

The UK has a rich record of fossil plants, including a number of world-famous localities prized for their exceptional preservation. Spanning a number of different geological intervals, each site provides a unique window into an ecosystem that existed in the UK in the past. The remarkable level of preservation of these fossils provides the unique opportunity to study the genesis of new plant organs, to capture fleeting moments in plant development and to explore the rich interactions between plants, animals and fungi. In his lecture, Sandy will showcase how UK fossil sites from the Devonian, Carboniferous and Jurassic Periods continue to transform our understanding of the evolution of land plants and terrestrial ecosystems.
