Serendipity in Earth Observation Based Science

Date

Abstract A serendipitous discovery in science is often accidental, as its name implies. Most scientific experiments are initially conceived with the goal of testing a theory or verifying a hypothesis. Nonetheless, whilst performing experiments, along the way there are often unexpected discoveries that result from the application of instruments, techniques or methods adopted from other...

State projects, institutional entanglements and energy-carbon transitions

Date

Abstract Across the global North, governments are engaged in restructuring around the increasingly linked agendas of carbon management and energy security. These agendas are characterised by complexity, uncertainty and all-pervasiveness. To meet these goals, governments necessarily implement programmes to enrol a range of institutions, institutional spaces and individuals to act on energy-carbon transitions. Enrolling territorial...

How cool are trees? The impacts of forests on the climate – from local to global scales

Date

Abstract Forests store huge quantities of carbon, influence rainfall and alter the colour (and therefore reflectivity) of the land. But, in addition to taking carbon dioxide out of the air and producing oxygen, trees emit other gases into the air that can affect the climate in complex ways. This talk will explore the latest research...
