This semianr is hosted by the Oxford Centre for Tropical Forests, an Oxford Martin School Centre

Speaker: Lucas N. Joppa, PhD, Computational Science Laboratory, Microsoft Research

Summary: What we know about Earth's biodiversity has filled plenty of books, but what we don't know about life on Earth could fill libraries. Most of that missing information resides in the tropics. Closing the gap between what we know and don't know will dictate how successful we are at conserving the ecological systems we all depend upon. Lucas will discuss how statistics, computation, crowd sourcing, and emerging technologies will help us understand questions ranging from how many species there are on earth to how fast they are going extinct - all from a practical conservation point of view

The seminar will be followed by drinks, all welcome
