SUMMARY:The Changing Face of Climate Science
DESCRIPTION:The Changing Face of Climate Science \nWednesday 13th February\, 14:00 – 14:45 – Slingo Lecture Theatre\, JJThomson Building \n \nThe University of Reading is delighted to host this special event\, celebrating the opening of the Slingo Lecture Theatre. This is in honour of Dame Julia Slingo DBE and Professor Anthony Slingo\, both esteemed scientists and valued members of the University of Reading community. Dame Julia Slingo DBE will be talking about the evolution seen in Climate Science over the last 45 years followed by a Q&A chaired by Acting Vice-Chancellor Professor Robert Van de Noort. \n \nDame Julia served as Chief Scientist of the UK Met Office from 2009 until retirement where she led a team of more than 500 scientists\, they worked on a broad portfolio of research. This research underpinned weather forecasting\, climate predictions and climate change projections. Through her career\, she has worked at the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts\, the US National Centre for Atmospheric Research and the University of Reading. \nAmongst other awards\, Dame Julia was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2015 and Foreign Member of the US National Academy of Engineering in 2016. In her retirement\, she has taken on a number of advisory roles\, including Special Advisor on Science to the Secretary General of the World Meteorological Organisation\, and is now a member of the new National Environment Research Council under UK Research and Innovation. \nDame Julia has brought innovative approaches to understanding and modelling weather and climate. She has developed and used complex weather and climate models to deliver new insights into how the atmosphere and climate system works\, as well as significant advances in predictive skill and climate services. \nAdmission free\, booking advisable. \nTo book your place visit www.reading.ac.uk/events

SUMMARY:Public lecture: Space Blitz: Discovering the hidden impacts of World War 2 bombing raids
DESCRIPTION:The bombing of cities during the Second World War is still fiercely contested. To some\, the Blitz against British cities and Allied raids over Germany were necessary battles\, weakening the ability of an enemy to wage war. For others\, the destruction of cultural landmarks and the deaths of around a million civilians worldwide were war crimes. \nCoinciding with the anniversary of the British raid on Dresden\, historian Patrick Major and space scientist Chris Scott will explore two different impacts of Second World War bombing raids. Using documents and images from the National Archives\, Professor Major will describe what it was like to be on the ground during the chaos and destruction of an air raid. Professor Scott will explain how a new analysis of wartime records by scientists at the Radio Research Station near Slough has helped Reading researchers today conduct an ‘experiment in the past’ showing how the blast waves from the bombs shook the edge of space.

SUMMARY:Reading 2050: Digital Visualisation - Understanding the Past and Revealing the Future
DESCRIPTION:A lecture by Dr. Ian J. Ewart and Dr. Dragana Nikolic\, School of the Built Environment \nIn this lecture we will explore the concept of virtual realities and digital visualization\, examining how perceptions of new digital technologies influence our efforts to harness them. In applying these technologies to the urban environment we will show that it is possible to uncover the past by using evidence from sources such as archives and archaeology to recreate an environment that no longer exists\, with some degree of certainty. We will describe the work done in recreating the sights\, sounds and smells of Roman Silchester\, and how data from surveys and 3D modelling could be used to better understand the Reading Abbey quarter. \nIn keeping with the theme of this lecture series\, we will then discuss the potential for digital technologies to shape the urban future of towns and cities like Reading. Modelling alternative futures allows us to explore consequences and make informed decisions\, so we will discuss and demonstrate some of the tools that are already available to help us do this\, such as our ongoing digital mapping of Reading. Simulations at different scales\, from the national to regions and cities\, and down to individual interactions with small urban areas can offer insights into how our future looks. But we end with a note of caution\, tempering our enthusiasm for digital technologies by recognizing that they need to be relevant and useful\, and applied with a specific objective in mind. \nThe lecture is part of the ‘People and Lifestyle’ theme of the Reading 2050 lecture series\, which provide a platform to discuss how Reading should evolve into a smarter and more sustainable city by 2050 (www.reading2050.co.uk ) \nAdmission to the lecture is free. \nThe SBE\, Barton Wilmore and Reading UK\, established the Reading 2050 group in 2013. The Reading 2050 lecture series is structured around three themes\, which underpin the Reading 2050 vision: \n*Place and Environment\n*People and Lifestyle\n*Economy and Employment \nIn 2017\, the School brought together expert speakers to discuss Reading’s heritage and history\, the future of its transport and energy and the impact of climate change and floods. A discussion on Reading’s Art and Culture was facilitated in 2018\, and there are other Reading 2050 events planned for 2019. \nhttps://livingreading.co.uk/publications-events
