OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Dr Reed will be speaking on research that involved engagement with water utilities in North Carolina, to examine a multi-stakeholder Many-Objective Robust Decision Making (MORDM) framework to better account for deeply uncertain factors when identifying cooperative management strategies. Emerging water scarcity concerns in south-eastern US are associated with several deeply uncertain factors, including rapid population growth, limited coordination across adjacent municipalities and increasing risk of sustained regional droughts. Managing uncertainties requires that water utilities identify regionally coordinated, scarcity-mitigating strategies that trigger the appropriate actions needed to avoid water shortages and financial instabilities.
