Mid-Afternoon Masterclass: Growing an urban woody meadow
Cities around the world are investing hundreds of millions of dollars in urban green spaces. Urban greening has wide-ranging benefits for human health and well-being, local and regional biodiversity, pollution mitigation, and local urban microclimate. However, maintaining vegetation in urban environments is expensive, which leads to simple plantings with limited visual appeal and resilience to the…
Mid-Afternoon Masterclass: The most distant galaxies
In this talk, Associate Professor Michele Trenti will introduce fundamental questions of astronomy by focussing on the earliest stages of creation. We do this by observing incredibly distant galaxies. In fact, because of the finite speed of light, distant objects are seen as they were in the past. The Hubble Space Telescope observations presented in…
