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
Weather and climate processes play important roles in driving the deterioration of heritage. There has been increasing interest in how climate change is likely to affect heritage, with the IPCC AR6 Working Group II report stating with high confidence that both tangible and intangible heritage are already being lost due to changes in climate. Conventional climate parameters, such as average annual temperature, do not capture the risk that climate poses to heritage. This talk will firstly explore the concept of refining standard climate parameters for a heritage context so that past, present and future threats to heritage can be assessed. It will also explore how uncertainties in climate models influence our understanding of these heritage parameters, and subsequent decision making processes.
