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
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.
