How can we reduce our impact on the Earth’s climate? How can we reduce the impact of natural hazards on us?
This Earth Day, join us at a joint event between Earth Sciences, Physics, Geography and Engineering to hear about latest research into the interactions between humans and the planet.
Talks and hands-on stall will cover topics as diverse as earthquake-proof building to the transition to net zero. There will also be a panel discussion where you can submit your questions to scientists who study these issues and hear what they actually do day-to-day.

We will have a selection of hands-on stalls for you to explore, and for those of you who want more detailed information about the work we do at Oxford, there will be a series of short talks and a panel discussion in our lecture theatre.
