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 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.
