OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The ecophysiology of Australian tropical rainforests

OCTF online seminar followed by Q&A – all welcome. NB – all times in UK time
Tropical rainforests occur on only a small part of the Australian continent, mainly restricted to a narrow humid tropical zone in northeastern Queensland. However, within this relatively small area, a broad range of climatic, topographic, and edaphic conditions exists. Here, Prof Cernusak discusses recent research into the ecophysiology of trees in these rainforests, aimed at gaining insight into how they are likely to respond to climate change.
Lucas Cernusak received his PhD in plant science (The Australian National University, 2004) and is currently an Associate Professor in the Ecology and Zoology group at James Cook University – Cairns. His main research interest is to understand the environmental and biological controls on carbon dioxide and water vapour exchange between plants and the atmosphere. He is also interested in improving the interpretation of stable isotope signals in plant organic material, in order to better understand how plant gas exchange has responded to global climate change through time and how it varies across ecological gradients.
