In Echo: Music in a Cold Climate – sounds of Hansa Europe

This fascinating programme explores the instrumental music that passed between these ports and countries in the 16th and 17th centuries, from dances to sonatas, including Pavans inspired by John Dowland’s famous Lachrimae to elaborate music by major figures such as the German/Danish organist Dietrich Buxtehude, a precursor of Bach. In the virtuosic hands of Gawain Glenton’s In Echo, these rarely-heard gems will sparkle as brightly as they did in centuries past.

The Rochester Lecture 2024: The Route to Attosecond Light Pulses

When an intense laser interacts with a gas of atoms, high-order harmonics are generated. In the time domain, this radiation forms a train of extremely short light pulses, of the order of 100 attoseconds. Attosecond pulses allow the study of the dynamics of electrons in atoms and molecules, using pump-probe techniques. This presentation will highlight some of the key steps of the field of attosecond science.

Kieran Dunne (TU Delft) 'Hydrodynamically-driven deposition of mud in river systems'

Here, we combine laboratory evidence and a field investigation in the Mississippi River delta to explore the controls on the riverine transport and deposition of mud. We show that the flocculation of mud, with floc diameters greater than 10 μm, in freshwater is a ubiquitous phenomenon, causing the sedimentation of mud to be driven by changes in local hydrodynamics.

Stuart Grieve (Queen Mary, University of London): 'Forest-landscape dynamics: Terrestrial Laser Scanning as a tool to link forest structure and landscape form in 3D'

Recent developments in Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) have unlocked our ability to quantify landscape and forest structure at unprecedented spatial scales, resolving individual branching structure and fine scale microtopographic variability in tandem. We have applied this technology to a collection of forest plots across Europe, capturing data across a climate gradient, and representing a broad range of species distributions and landscape forms.
