Event Description
This year’s Autumn Science Lecture Series from Oxford Botanic Garden and Arboretum will run between October and December. In this free hybrid event, Professor Jennifer McElwain FRS, Professor of Botany at Trinity College Dublin and Director of Trinity College Botanic Garden, will explore the evolution of trees and forests through geological time. When did the first true trees evolve? What is a tree? What can fossil plants tell us about the oldest forests on Earth? How did forests survive volcanic events, extreme climates and meteorite impacts in Earth's geological past? Hosted online and at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.
