How Serpentinization during the Bending of Tectonic Plates Plays a Key Role in Earth's Carbon Cycle

How Serpentinization during the Bending of Tectonic Plates Plays a Key Role in Earth's Carbon Cycle

Date
27/01/2015
Location:
Windsor Building Auditorium
Description
In this time of climate change linked to increasing carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, it is increasingly important to understand how carbon is outgassed from and regassed into Earth's interior. Jason Morgan will present an important recently discovered player in this cycle, namely the carbonation that happens when tectonic plates bend before they sink into the Earth beneath the 'Ring of Fire' volcanic arcs. Serpentine is not only a beautiful building stone and industrial material, it may also help us solve the problem of ridding our atmosphere of excess man-made carbon dioxide.

War Deaths: Knowledge, Pretence and Progress

War Deaths: Knowledge, Pretence and Progress

Date
29/01/2015
Location:
Windsor Building Auditorium
Description
During the summer of 2014 headlines proclaimed more than 191,000 violent deaths in Syria and 2,100 in Gaza. Where do these numbers come from? Are they accurate? What do they mean? Over the last decade estimates of "excess deaths" in the Iraq war started at 100,000 and rose quickly to 655,000 before falling back to half a million five years later. Yet even these huge numbers pale in comparison to 5.4 million estimated excess deaths in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the "deadliest conflict since World War II". What are excess deaths? Are such numbers credible? A display stands in Srebrenica containing the names of 8,372 massacre victims. What is the meaning of this form of memorialization and where might it lead?
