A consideration of the forcing of climate change using simple physics

30 May 2012 17:30:00 GMT

IOP Institute of Physics, 76 Portland Place, London, W1B 1NT
Wed, 30 May 2012, 18:30 – 21:00

Discussions about the influence of human activities on climate usually either focus on projections of climate change based on complex climate models, or on instrumental records and reconstruction of past climates from proxy data (e.g. gases trapped in ice cores, tree rings, etc).

This situation is somewhat unfortunate because it might then seem that anthropogenic forcing of climate is a topic that can only be understood by climate modellers, experts in the interpretation of proxy data, and statisticians who have the tools to analyse climatic time series.

In this talk, building upon a recent Discussion Paper published by the Grantham Institute at Imperial College London, I will take a very different perspective on the matter.

The essential idea is that, instead of just debating climate model projections or time series analysis, it is useful also to reflect on the magnitude of the forcing of climate change due to human activities - a forcing which is well understood and solidly rooted in physics.

To do so, I will provide simple “back-of-the-envelope” calculations to put the relevant numbers into perspective, with a particular focus on the role played by the ocean circulation.

Vacuum and plasmas for industry - the essential ingredients for Industrial Processes

16 Oct 2012 23:00:00 GMT

Ricoh Arena, Coventry 71 Phoenix Way, Coventry, CV6 6GE
Wed, 17 Oct 2012

Many plasma and ion associated processes, require a vacuum environment before process gas is admitted.

The degree or range of vacuum depends on the production process and often affects the resulting product.

Contamination and cleanliness are becoming more and more important issues within industrial processes to avoid rejects and ensure maximum yield.

This meeting will attempt to cover the wide spectrum of industries that require plasma and vacuum processing and the importance and requirements of vacuum for manufacturing success.

The industries that could benefit from this meeting include:

Automotive and Aeronautical Industries, Surface Coatings and Surface Engineering companies, the Chemical Industry, Food, Medical and Textile suppliers, the Pharmaceutical and Semiconductor Industries, Surface Analysis Instrument suppliers and users, Heat Treatment Companies and Waste Disposal firms.

The speakers of a selected number of these topics will explain the importance of vacuum and or plasmas in their industry.

High-speed imaging for dynamic testing of materials and structures

18 Nov 2013 00:00:00 GMT

Institute of Physics, 76 Portland Place, London, W1B 1NT, UK
Mon, 18 Nov – Wed, 20 Nov 2013

An understanding of the dynamic behaviour of materials is essential for informing structural performance for e.g. crashworthiness, manufacturing capability, blast mitigation. Numerical simulation has seen spectacular progress with the advent of faster and cheaper computing power. However, such computations require detailed material models for which parameters have to be identified experimentally.

Event Title: High-speed imaging for dynamic testing of materials and structures
