On Thursday 28th December we hosted ‘A Symposium on Energy & Environmental Flows’ to celebrate Professor Andy Woods’ 60th birthday.
It was a wonderful event, with a packed schedule of talks throughout the day on topics from volcanic eruptions, ocean circulation, glaciology, and carbon dioxide removal technologies, to ‘how to stop your Granny catching fire’!
Guest speakers from Bristol joined our own experts from the Institute and the wider university, delivering insightful and entertaining presentations whilst paying tribute to Andy and the impact he has had on their lives. The enthusiasm of the speakers and the event’s high attendance were testament to the enormous influence Andy has had on countless researchers, and the day was the perfect way to celebrate our Head of Institute.
Thank you again to all of our speakers. The full list of talks can be found below.
Happy Birthday Andy!
