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
While the Earth has, on average, warmed by nearly one degree Celsius since the end of the 19th Century, the Arctic has warmed by almost as much over the past decade alone. In this talk, I will review recent developments in Arctic climate change research, including insights from my own long-term work on tundra plant communities and iconic “Ice Age” species such as caribou and muskoxen, and the implications such insights pose for changes we might expect as the Earth continues to inch toward a two degree warmer future.
