<div class="PlainText">This week's astronomy seminar will take
place on Thursday 15:00 in FC61. <br>
Also, on Friday Matteo Messa will defend his PhD thesis at
13:00 in FA31.<br>
<br>
Speaker: Steven Longmore (John Moores University, Liverpool)<br>
<br>
Title: Investigating ecosystems from the centres of galaxies
to those on <br>
the verge of collapse here on Earth<br>
<br>
Abstract: This talk will be a tale of two topics using
astrophysical <br>
techniques to investigate ecosystems. In the first half I
will review <br>
recent progress on an emerging, multi-scale picture of star
formation <br>
and feedback in the centres of galaxy, and efforts to
synthesise this <br>
into a general understanding of the mass flows and energy
cycles in <br>
(extra) galactic nuclei. In the second half of the talk I
will discuss <br>
how we are using astrophysics research techniques to help
ecologists <br>
save critically endangered animal species and stop peat
fires that are a <br>
major contributor to global warming.<br>
<br>
All welcome!<br>
