BAFTA and Emmy award winning filmmaker Anthony Geffen, who graduated from the School of Geography in 1984, talked to an audience of current undergraduates and staff on Friday the 16th of November 2012.
He showed clips of some of his films including Flying Monsters, the first film to win a BAFTA Award in 3D, First Life with David Attenborough, the triple Emmy winning BBC series, The Wildest Dream Conquest of Everest, the IMAX film, and Galapagos 3D which will air in the New Year.
The audience greatly enjoyed meeting him, seeing 3D clips, and learning more about his jour-ney from making a film on his undergraduate dissertation on the Itaipu Dam between Brazil and Paraguay to making major, big budget documentary films.

The School’s Radcliffe Meteo-rological Station and climatep-rediction.net research project feature in a new exhibition at Oxford’s Museum of the His-tory of Science about ancient weather recording and modern climate forecasting.
Global climate scientist Sir John Houghton opened the new exhi-bition, Atmospheres: Investiga-ting the Weather from Aristotle to Ozone. Sir John, former Chief Executive of the UK Meteoro-logical Office and co-chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, began his own weather career as a doctoral student at Oxford’s Physics department and Jesus College in 1948. He later designed the selective Chopper Radiometer for
the Nimbus 4 and 5 satellites in the early 1970s – an instrument which sensed remotely the at-mospheric temperature structu-re up to about 50km in altitude.
The Radcliffe Met Station records on display are for April 1773, with ’the blackthorn in blossom, the buds of the horse chestnut burst, and leaves of some length’. The record rain we had in April 2012 in the UK emphasised the immense scientific and cultural value of
the Radcliffe Met Station measurements. While the national UK Met Office could only confirm that April 2012 was the wettest for just over 100 years, the Radcliffe records showed it was the wettest in Oxford for nearly 250 years, since 1767.

The previous ’VIP’ to view the Radcliffe Met records was Black Eyed Peas star Will.i.am, coincidentally studying the previous 1773 page – for his March birthday. Will.i.am was in Oxford in his role as Creative Director for Intel. He met with Profes-sor Myles Allen to discuss the extraordinary role that tens of thousands of citizen scientists from across the world have been playing in climate forecasting. These people have contributed spare processing power from their personal computers to help run Oxford’s climateprediction.net, the world’s largest climate forecasting experiment, led by Professor Allen. The research has led to publications in the most authoritative of scientific journals, including Nature.
Results from climateprediction.net are displayed at the exhibition for the first time on an animated ’Magic Planet’ globe – on loan from the Natural Environment Research Council. Professor Allen is hoping that visitors to Atmospheres will sign up to take part in the experiment. The climate model automatically runs as a background process on your computer and as the model runs, you can watch the weather patterns in your unique version of the world evolve. The results are sent back via the internet, and you will be able to see a summary of your results on the website.
As well as being involved in climateprediction.net, the School is currently leading two major NERC-funded observational programmes in climate. ’Fennec’ is a large-scale, international, multi-institutional, multi-platform, observational, modelling and satellite climate programme in the Saharan Heat Low regi-on, and ’DO4 Models: Dust Observation’ aims to collect the first dust source-area process data tailored to climate model grid-box
resolution from targeted remote sensing and fieldwork in order to develop a new generation of model dust emission schemes.
The sophisticated numerical modelling enabled by the likes of climateprediction.net is a long way from the early days of the Radcliffe Meteorological Station and the other extraordinary weather instruments on display at Atmospheres. And even further from the records of Oxford’s William Merle. The Rev. Merle began what is believed to be the western world’s first daily weather records in the mid fourteenth century. For April 1343, 430 years before the 1773 Radcliffe Met records on display, Merle recorded:
”2nd, and 3rd, slight hoar-frost. 4th rather heavy rain. From that time until the 25th, moderate rain at intervals, on every day or every other day, but there was heavier and more frequent rain in the first half of that time than in the second. 10th rain, with thunder ten times or more. 23rd hoar-frost, 25th rain. 10th rather strong SW wind. 24th SW wind. Between the 10th and 24th there was often a rather strong wind, occasionally NW, but I believe it was not then strong.”
The Merle records are kept safe in Oxford’s Bodleian library. But to
see the many extraordinary weather instruments and records you must visit the Atmospheres exhibition which runs – natu-rally – until April 2013. The Museum of the History of Science is on Oxford’s Broad Street, next to the Sheldonian Theatre, and, coincidentally a former home to the School of Geography and the Environment.

Oxford University’s Smart Handpumps research project, part of the mobile/water for development (mw4d) initiative, aims to improve rural water secu-rity by automatically monitoring handpump performance which triggers maintenance responses.
The handpump technology uses data transmitters which fit inside handpumps and send text messages to a central office if the devices break down. The re-search initiative is a collaboration between the School of Geography and the Environment and the Department for Engineering Science at Oxford, and is led by Dr Rob Hope and Patrick Thomson in partnership with Dr Gari Clifford.

The work of Emeritus Fellow Brenda Boardman to establish fuel poverty as a field of study has been celebrated with a spe-cial issue of Energy Policy.
The special issue was published in August 2012 to commemorate 21 years of research and policy related to fuel poverty. It is a tribute to the work of the Envi-ronmental Change Institute’s Dr Brenda Boardman and hails her as the primary ‘researcher, stra-
tegic thinker and campaigner’ on fuel poverty. Dr Boardman’s 1991 book Fuel Poverty brought the issue to wider public attention for the first time and her research is the foundation on which the world’s foremost fuel poverty strategy has been built.
Fuel poverty occurs when a household cannot afford the energy they need to keep warm, have a well-lit home and live to an acceptable minimum standard for 10 per cent of their income. As fuel prices rise, more and more households in the UK are falling into fuel poverty, while the government has an obligation to eradicate fuel poverty (where reasonably practicable) by 2016 under the Warm Homes and Energy conservation Act 2000. Over one-fifth of all households are in fuel poverty in the UK in 2012 and the government will be unable to reach the 2016 target with present policies.
Commenting on Dr Boardman’s achievement, her former doc-toral supervisor Professor Gordon MacKerron of Science and Technology Policy Research at the University of Sussex said: ‘It is rare that a major field of enquiry and public policy should be founded by a single individual. And while many others were engaged in the fuel poverty issue in the 1980s and early 1990s, especially in campaigning, there is a single individual who single-handedly effectively created fuel poverty as a distinct analytical and political issue – Brenda Boardman’.
Professor Christine Liddell of Ulster University, editor of the special issue, said that Dr Boardman’s original purpose in put-ting fuel poverty on the socio-political map was to ‘improve the thermal efficiency of British housing, thereby making warmth more affordable and enhancing people’s quality of life’. Professor Liddell added: ‘Although one or two social scientists had used the term before her, Boardman’s (1991) elaboration remains a masterclass on fuel poverty. Without it, the concept might have remained little more than an occasional area of interest amongst a tiny group of demographers and survey statisticians’.
Dr Boardman said: ‘What I did was take a topic that sounded as if it had to do with fuel prices, and sounded as if it had to do with poverty, and demonstrated that the really important thing was capital investment and the energy efficiency of the housing stock. The Victorians built us sewers and underground tube lines. Our ancestors have given us wonderful legacies with their transformations of infrastructure. What infrastructure should we be changing? The housing stock, the building fabric, to ensu-re that it is fit for another century would be a good choice.’
The special issue of Energy Policy demonstrates that the subject of fuel poverty is being recognised around the world and is already the subject of European legislation. In the UK, many anticipate a sea change in how fuel poverty will be monitored and managed over the next few years due to an independent government review into fuel poverty and increasing pressures from rising fuel prices and the economic downturn.
Dr Boardman remains committed to seeking solutions to fuel poverty for many years to come, whether through lobbying, mentoring new students, or research. The legacy of her two books and this journal special issue is that we are equipped to move forward with these solutions.

Oxford Climate Research Network launched The newly launched Oxford Climate Research Network (OCRN) is a cross-divisional initiative aiming to promote collaborations between scientists who investigate climate-related issues in various departments at Oxford, and increase the visibility of climate research both within and outside the University.
OCRN is harnessing Oxford’s diverse strengths to address key challenges in understanding and managing climate change. With more than 130 scientists included, and with School of Geography and the Environment scientists widely represented,
it is hoped that the network will develop an expansive research agenda which will deepen our knowledge of the climate system, inform policy and planning, and develop instruments to imp-rove the partnership with government, research and business communities. The academic co-ordinator of the network is Professor Myles Allen, Professor of Geosystem Science at the School. He is supported by Dr Vasile Ersek and Peter Walton, Oxford University’s Climate Knowledge Exchange Research Fellow.

Professor Yadvinder Malhi, Professor of Ecosystem Scien-ce at the School and leader of the Environmental Change Institute’s Ecosystems Research Programme, has been awar-ded a prestigious European Research Council (ERC) Advan-ced Research Grant.
The focus of the project, called GEM-TRAIT, is to understand the role that tree diversity plays in the response of tropical forests to climate change. The grant award is 2.5 million euros over five years.
The project involves collecting novel field data on leaf form and ecosystem function from study sites in forests in six countries (Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, Ghana, Gabon, Malaysia). These countries are all part of the Global Ecosystems Monitoring (GEM) net-work set up by Professor Malhi. The field data will be coupled with new theoretical tools to scale from leaves to trees to fo-rests. It will potentially lead to a fresh approach to representing ecosystems in global climate change models.

School collaborates on developing links between City schools and University departments
New Oxford Martin Programme on Resource Stewardship
Professor Yadvinder Malhi wins European Research Council Grant
The School has taken a leading role in working with the Oxford Learning Collaboration set up by Sir Tim Brighouse to develop links between the schools in Oxford City, and University departments. The initiative was launched with a reception held at St Hilda’s College, Oxford, in June, which was attended by lecturers from the School and Heads of Geography and Humanities departments from the seven state schools in Oxford.
The link is seen as a mutually beneficial opportunity for lecturers and undergraduates to engage with staff and students in the city’s schools. It is hoped that undergraduates can be linked to schools to offer mentoring and subject support and to help raise aspirations in the city’s schools. The School will be creating opportunities for small groups of sixth formers to attend lectures in the School to give them a chance of experiencing the teaching environment at university.
For more information about this project please contact Dr Lorraine Wild via [email protected]
Professor Myles Allen and Professor Jim Hall of the Environmental Change Insti-tute, along with Professor Steve Rayner (Institute for Science, Innovation and Society) and Professor Katherine Willis (Oxford Long-term Ecology Laborato-ry) are Directors of a new programme at the Oxford Martin School looking at resource stewardship. Freshwater, land, atmosphere and bio-diversity are universally vital resources subject to both cumulative and systemic pressures arising from human activities, which put them under threat of severe degradation and even depletion. Around the world these key resources are subject to a wide range of property rights and management regimes, the environmental efficacy and social equity of which are subject to competing ideological claims and disciplinary critiques.
The Resource Stewardship Programme involves an interdiscip-linary team of philosophers, anthropologists, economists, mo-dellers and environmental scientists. They are rethinking how we monitor, manage, maintain and allocate globally important resources.
The aim of the programme is to work through understandings of individual and collective behaviour and current institutional practice, with a focus on how technical information is used in decision-making, to deliver a new framework for stewardship that will ensure that the world’s essential resources remain avai-lable for generations to come.

OxRBL hosted four tours of the labs, and showed over 40 people around their facilities. Participants in the tours were introduced to five of their current research projects, with demonstrations of the equipment they use and the types of experiments they run.
The Transport Studies Unit is hosting the 45th Annual Universities’ Transport Study Group (UTSG) Conference over the 2-4th of January 2013.
The conference will be held at St Anne’s College, Oxford, and will bring together about 120 researchers involved in transport from all disciplinary backgrounds. For more infor-mation please see the conference website.
River Cottage joins in Big Biochar Experiment
The Big Biochar Experiment is the first large-scale experiment on the use of biochar in allot-ments and gardens. Biochar is the 100 per cent organic, carbon-rich product obtained by the pyrolysis of biomass (heating under oxygen-depri-ved conditions).
The initiative is funded by Ox-ford Biochar, a company set up by Dr Cécile Girardin and Dr Russell Layberry from the Environmental Change Institute
(ECI). ECI researchers and Earthwatch staff are co-ordinating the experiment, which aims to gather quantitative data on abo-ve-and below-ground productivity, and qualitative data on the plant and soil health of widely used fruit and vegetable varieties.
