Alessandro Silvano (University of Southampton) 'Impacts of ice-ocean interaction in Antarctica: from global sea level to ocean overturning '
In this seminar, Alessandro Silvano will explore the oceanic processes that drive melting of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, and consequent global sea level rise.

Postgraduate Workshop with Michael Marder (Ikerbasque Research Professor of Philosophy at the University of the Basque Country, UPV/EHU, Vitoria-Gasteiz).
This workshop, designed specifically for postgraduates, offers the opportunity to engage further with Marder’s lecture and work more broadly, and invites participants to think through how the topic of joints might relate to their own research interests. We look forward to your participation in this discussion of what it means to think about the body when we begin to think about the body when we begin with its joints.

Michael Marder (University of the Basque Country, UPV/EHU, Vitoria-Gasteiz) 'Seeds for Thought, or Several Tips on How to Follow Plants'
What does it mean “to follow plants”? How to re-learn the work and the play of thinking from them? I propose shifting the focus and perspectives of our thought and attention from the extremes to the middle, whence the extremes emerge and develop in their tireless interplay.

Sophie Webber (University of Sydney), 'Flood protection as adaptation labour in Jakarta, Indonesia'
Dr Sophie Webber is a geographer in the School of Geosciences at the University of Sydney. Her research investigates the impacts of attempts to make adaptation to climate impacts ‘economic’ through market and financial instruments. She has conducted research about large-scale climate transformations in Southeast Asia and the Pacific region.

Kieran Dunne (TU Delft) 'Hydrodynamically-driven deposition of mud in river systems'
Here, we combine laboratory evidence and a field investigation in the Mississippi River delta to explore the controls on the riverine transport and deposition of mud. We show that the flocculation of mud, with floc diameters greater than 10 μm, in freshwater is a ubiquitous phenomenon, causing the sedimentation of mud to be driven by changes in local hydrodynamics.

Stuart Grieve (Queen Mary, University of London): 'Forest-landscape dynamics: Terrestrial Laser Scanning as a tool to link forest structure and landscape form in 3D'
Recent developments in Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) have unlocked our ability to quantify landscape and forest structure at unprecedented spatial scales, resolving individual branching structure and fine scale microtopographic variability in tandem. We have applied this technology to a collection of forest plots across Europe, capturing data across a climate gradient, and representing a broad range of species distributions and landscape forms.
