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
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.
