The Oxford Climate Research Network and Oxford Martin Programme on Resource Stewardship present a series of talks for students, staff and members of the public, and an opportunity to ask questions, about the latest Assessment of Working Group 1 of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) with contributions from members of the the Department of Physics.

  • Human fingerprints all over recent climate
    Friederike Otto, ECI/School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford, and IPCC Contributing Author, Detection and Attribution of Climate Change
  • Has global warming “paused” and what is it going to do next?
    Rowan Sutton, NCAS & Department of Meteorology, University of Reading, and IPCC Lead Author, Near-term Climate Change
  • The longer term — changes in sea-ice, ice-sheets and sea level
    Andrew Wells, Department of Physics, University of Oxford
  • Energy and carbon budgets and the trillionth tonne
    Myles Allen, Co-Director, Oxford Martin Programme on Resource Stewardship and IPCC Lead Author, Detection and Attribution of Climate Change
  • So… How hot will it be in my lifetime?
