SUMMARY:Meteorological Masterclass: Flood Forecasting Hours to Months Ahead
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 24 February 2021: Flood forecasting hours to months ahead\nDr Linda Speight: University of Reading \nThis Masterclass will discuss the very latest work in probabilistic hydrometeorological forecasting – hours to months ahead – and the use and communication of flood forecasts to support decision-making. It will look at how well we can forecast floods at a range of scales and how we can balance lead time and uncertainty to answer the important operational question “when and where will impact occur?”. It will also cover how flood forecasting can be used in locations with limited data to support early action and will close with a discussion on what the future research directions are for flood forecasting. \nPart of the University of Reading /Royal Meteorological Society Masterclass Series: Anticipating floods\, droughts and heatwaves. Forthcoming dates include: \nWednesday 10 March 2021: Representing convection in Numerical Weather Prediction models and its implications\nProfessor Bob Plant\, University of Reading \nThe forecasting of convective precipitation remains among the most challenging and most stubborn problems in meteorology. In this talk\, Bob will review the fundamental scientific challenges\, discuss recent progress and advances being made in this field\, and highlight some of the implications for operational forecasting. \nWednesday 24 March 2021: Heatwaves and climate change in urban microclimates\nProfessor Sue Grimmond\, University of Reading \nThe focus of this talk is on heatwaves and how urban areas can exacerbate their impact because of the well-known canopy layer urban heat island effects\, and why cities and their residents are particularly vulnerable. Impacts of heatwaves have been very significant if people are not appropriately prepared (as witnessed during the 2003 heatwave across Europe). Attention will be directed to the important impact of scale and an understanding of the dynamics of urban climate\, challenges in predictions and advance warning\, and strategies and interventions for heat stress mitigation. \nAbout the series\nThese masterclasses are intended to provide additional training for professionals working in Meteorology and Climate Science\, and its operational application. \nEach masterclass webinar will run from 3pm to 4.30pm\, starting with a presentation followed by the opportunity for questions and discussion with the speaker. While the webinars are part of a series\, delegates can choose which seminars they attend (attendance at all three is not compulsory). \nRegistration:  Member: £20.00 | Non-member: £25.00 \nLast year we welcomed 542 delegates throughout the series – view all three seminars on the RMetSoc YouTube channel here. \n

SUMMARY:Webinar: Indicators of changing climate risk in the UK - Professor Nigel Arnall
DESCRIPTION:Register to attend here \nAbstract: \nIn order to increase resilience to climate change it is necessary to understand climate risks and how they are likely to change in the future. This seminar presents a summary of the Climate Risk Indicators project (involving the University of Reading\, CEH Wallingford and the University of Leeds)\, which is calculating a series of indicators relevant to policymakers in the UK at national and local levels. The selected indicators represent a range of thresholds for decisions and consequences across many sectors\, including water resources\, flooding\, transport\, health\, agriculture and emergency planning. The indicators are calculated with UKCP18 climate projections\, and presented both for low and high emissions and at different levels of forcing\, and are presented at a range of spatial scales. The seminar will describe the indicators and their uses in policy.  \nThis is the first in a series of webinars organised by the UK Climate Resilience Programme – see the full programme.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Methods for Random Matrix Theory and Applications: LMS-CMI Research School
DESCRIPTION:LMS-CMI Research School\nMethods for Random Matrix Theory and Applications \nOrganised by the London Mathematical Society and the Clay Mathematics Institute\, this research school is aimed at postgraduate students and at interested mathematicians\, both in the UK and abroad. \nRandom matrix theory (RMT) is a crossroad of modern mathematics. It brings together and provides a platform for fusing the ideas of such diverse areas as the theory of special functions\, orthogonal polynomials\, complex analysis\, operator theory\, representation of affine algebras and quantum group\, enumerative topology\, combinatorics\, number theory\, exactly solvable quantum models\, quantum chaos and string theory. Simultaneously\, RMT plays an increasingly important role in many applied sciences and technologies. Indeed\, the distributions of random matrix theory govern statistical properties of the large systems which do not obey the usual laws of classical probability. \nThough the random matrices  have been long studied for their applications to multivariable statistics since the work of Wishart and in physics for its application to the level-spacing of highly excited energy levels of nuclei since the work of Wigner\, Dyson and others\, there has in recent years been a renewed significant interest in this subject. Some of the main reasons for this are: (a) The discovery that a large class of random matrix models are related to completely integrable systems of differential equations of both the Painlevé type  and those of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP); (b) The relation of the theory of random matrices to the theory of Hankel and Toeplitz determinants; (c) The development of the novel technique – the Riemann-Hilbert method\, which yields the solution of a number of the long-standing problems in the field; (d) The discovery of the remarkable fact that the random matrices and the nonlinear Hamiltonian PDEs demonstrate  the same universal features at the relevant critical  and transition regimes. These topics as well as some other important aspects of random matrix theory will be covered in the three lecture courses (five hours each) and in the invited lectures (one hour each). \n  \n11 to 15 May 2020 at the University of Reading\nFunded by the London Mathematical Society\, the Clay Mathematics Institute and the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research\nOrganized by Igor Krasovsky and Jani A.

SUMMARY:Biscuits to Big Tech: Reading's rise to economic prosperity
DESCRIPTION:University Public Lecture Series \nProfessor Kathy Pain (Real Estate and Planning): Biscuits to Big Tech: Reading’s rise to economic prosperity \nReading was once a sleepy county town famed for its ‘beer\, biscuits and bulbs’ but today it is a hub for high-tech industry with international links. How did it get that way and how can we make sure its economic success continues? \nIn this lecture\, Professor Kathy Pain will explore the town’s rise to prosperity and the future sustainability problems facing densely developed urban regions like Reading. She will draw on her research which shows how investing in so-called ‘good density’ – well-designed and compact cities with affordable public transport; available jobs and talent; and ‘green and blue infrastructure’ such as hedgerows and waterways – could help secure Reading’s future success in a changing economic landscape. \nKathy Pain is Professor of Real Estate Development at the University of Reading\, Henley Business School. Her research focuses on sustainable city and regional development\, governance and planning in today’s interconnected world economy. \nAdmission free. Booking advisable.

SUMMARY:The Self Delusion: How we are all connected and why that matters
DESCRIPTION:University Public Lecture \nProfessor Tom Oliver (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology): The Self Delusion: How we are all connected and why that matters \nWe often think of ourselves as individuals\, acting alone\, with an inner self that stays the same across our lives. But this is an illusion – in fact\, we are more connected with others\, the planet and the universe than we realise. \nIn his lecture\, ecologist Tom Oliver explains some surprising science that will make you think differently about yourself and your place in the world. While our sense of individual self has helped our species to succeed\, he argues that seeing beyond this mindset to understand the complex connections between us may well be the key to a better future. \n \nTom Oliver is a Professor in Applied Ecology at the University of Reading and author of The Self Delusion\, a popular science book about our human interconnectedness. He is a senior academic fellow with the UK government leading the design of their Systems Research Programme to inform environmental policy\, and also sits on the European Environment Agency Scientific Committee. Tom is a frequent contributor to broadcast media\, a frequent speaker on environmental science and has published more than 65 scientific papers in world-leading journals. \nFor more information on Tom’s research\, please visit https://research.reading.ac.uk/social-and-applied-ecology/ \nAdmission free. Booking advisable.
