Using the Geological Past to Predict the Future Science Oxford is delighted to welcome Prof Gideon Henderson from Oxford University. He will explain how we can use what we know about the Earth’s climate over the last million years to help us predict temperatures, rainfall, and sea-level in the future. This event took place on the 24th May 2010 at Science Oxford Live. More details on events can be found at www.scienceoxfordlive.com

Join us as we look into the darkest depths of the rainforest to explore the fascinating lives of two jungle apes – the orangutan and the gibbon. Ape researchers, Dr Susan Cheyne and Klara Wanelik, will be filling us in on these mysterious creatures, as well as discussing what it’s really like to work in the jungle. Further Information Dr Susan Cheyne and Klara Wanelik are involved with the Orangutan Tropical Peatland Research Project. The Orangutan Tropical Peatland Research Project works to protect one of the most important areas of tropical rainforest in Borneo – the Sabangau Forest in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. We monitor the distribution, population status, behaviour and ecology of the forest’s flagship ape species – the orangutan and agile gibbon – carry out biodiversity and forestry research, provide scientific feedback to conservation managers, and work with our local partners to implement successful conservation programmes. Our research and volunteer program has been running since 2001 and is a focus for local conservation efforts, providing much-needed employment and financial benefits for the local community and replacing illegal logging as the main activity and source of income in the northern Sabangau Forest. www.orangutantrop.com This event took place on the 15th April 2010 at Science Oxford Live.

In May 2007, a group of scientists went to the summit of Mount Everest to study the effects of high altitude on the human body, with the ultimate aim of increasing our understanding of critically ill patients. The expedition’s Medical Officer, Dr Denny Levett, will be joining us to discuss the project, their findings, and the challenges encountered at 29,000 feet.
