Social ecology of cocoa farming in Ghana

Series
Africa Oxford Initiative
Embed
AfOx Visiting Fellow, Dr Rebecca Asare from the Nature Conservation Research Centre delivered this seminar co-hosted by AfOx and the African House at Christ Church College.
During her stay at Oxford, she was based at the School of Geography and the Environment. Her research is focused on understanding the relationships between social and ecological systems, and exploring the question—why do people do the things they do? By understanding what drives peoples', communities’, and governments' decision making regarding natural resource management, and assessing the impacts, we are better placed to pursue ecological and social outcomes that are sustainable and equitable.

When Life Got Hard

Series
Museum of Natural History Public Talks
Embed
In this podcast episode Museum research fellow Dr Duncan Murdock talks about the first animals to build skeletons, and what they did with them.
Half a billion years ago a bewildering array of animals evolved, bristling with shells, teeth and spines during a Cambrian explosion of skeletons. Dr Murdock will explain the who, what, when and how of when life got hard for animals, and the world changed forever.

Dr Duncan Murdock is a Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellow at Oxford University Museum of Natural History. Dr Murdock’s research is focused on using the fossil record to understand the early evolution of skeletons in animals. He uses high magnification electron microscopes and 3D X-ray imaging to study microscopic skeletal elements and determine the environmental and developmental drivers of biomineralisation in animals.
