Trees are making it rain

Dr Robin Hayward (LEAF Communication & Engagement Officer)

What came first, the rainforest or the rain? In a massive and complex cycle of climates creating biodiversity and biological systems influencing the weather, Dr Robin Hayward will explore the science behind rainforests and what the future might hold for the most diverse biome on our planet.

Ice Nucleating Particles - small particles with a big impact.

Polly Foster (PhD student in the Institute of Climate and Atmospheric Science)

Discover the role of ice-nucleating particles in climate dynamics with Polly Foster. In her talk, Polly will share her research using microfluidic technology to measure and identify these tiny but impactful particles. Through lab experiments and field campaigns, including missions aboard a research plane, she'll shed light on their significance in shaping our climate.
