MaNGA Public Lecture
TITLE: MAPPING THE UNIVERSE
Professor Karen Masters, Haverford College, PA, USA
I will talk about state-of-the art maps of the Universe, such as those produced by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, which have revealed the complexity of structures on many scales found in our Universe. I will also talk about the development of these maps, and how our knowledge of the basic structure of the Universe, along with our place in it has changed so dramatically in the last several hundred years.

Cassiopeia A - First live remote observation of the neutral hydrogen emission line (21cm line) in Oxford Stargazing
Cassiopeia A at Stargazing Oxford!
Last weekend we hosted Stargazing Oxford in the Department, our biggest annual public event. So many excting things happened and were there to see and learn from!

Waters west of Europe drive ocean overturning, key for regulating climate
A new international study finds that the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, a deep ocean process that plays a key role in regulating Earth’s climate, is primarily driven by cooling waters west of Europe. In a departure from the prevailing scientific view, the study shows that most of the overturning and variability is occurring not in the Labrador Sea off Canada, as past modelling studies have suggested, but in regions between Greenland and Scotland.

Advanced particle accelerators, cutting-edge particle detectors, and sophisticated computing techniques are the hallmarks of particle physics research and the challenging demand imposed by the community has pushed the performances to the very limits.
Meeting Minds Oxford Alumni Weekend at Physics
Meeting Minds Oxford - the weekend for all University of Oxford Alumni
The Department of Physics will open its doors on Saturday 21 September to welcome all alumni, regardless of their studies. We hope to offer you all a chance to visit our thriving department, meet our scientists, learn more about what is the cutting edge research taking place in one the the largest Physics Departments in the world.
Proposed format on the day is:
