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
Urbanization is well-known to have evident impacts on heavy precipitation. However, the following questions are not well addressed: (1) do the precipitation in different categories of precipitation intensity response to urbanization in the same way, especially for light and heavy precipitation? (2) does the urbanization alter the temporal distribution and spatial extent of heavy precipitation events? (3) what is the role of moist heatwaves in the impacts of urbanization on heavy precipitation? Addressing the above questions can provide a valuable reference for understanding urbanization-induced changes in heavy precipitation patterns and for improving urban planning and design.
