'Land, Sea and Air' Part 2 - The state of the oceans

Series
Big Questions - with Oxford Sparks
Embed
What's in the deep ocean? And how can we study these remote and extreme ecosystems? And how is climate change affecting ocean ecosystems?
Prof Alex Rogers explains his research in deep sea ocean hot spots, in some of the most remote and deepest parts of the ocean where there are still complex ecosystems to be found. He describes the challenges of working in extreme environments and how technology is essential for research. He also discusses the adverse effects that climate change is having on ocean ecosystems, and how recent work has identified concerning signs of plastic pollution being found in some of the most remote parts of the ocean; but also the positive actions and interventions that can make a difference.

The Prime Number Theorem

Series
In Our Spare Times
Embed
Oxford Students discuss the Prime Number Theorem.
Prime numbers have fascinated mathematicians since there were mathematicians to be fascinated, and The Prime Number Theorem is one of the crowning achievements of 19th century mathematics. The theorem answers, in a precise form, a very basic and naive-sounding question: how many prime numbers are there? Proved in 1896, the theorem marked the culmination of a century of mathematical progress, and is also at the heart of one of the biggest unsolved problems in mathematics today.

Host: Aled Walker, 2nd year DPhil, Mathematics, Magdalen College
Guests: Simon Myerson, 4th year DPhil, Mathematics, Oriel College: Sofia Lindqvist, 1st year DPhil, Mathematics, Keble College, Jamie Beacom, 1st year DPhil, Mathematics, Balliol College
