Image Warfare: A New Security Challenge
Dr Nathan Roger, Swansea University
Thursday 30 May 2013, 1300-1400
C60 InfoLab21
The research described in this talk,argues that since September 11th 2001 image warfare has replaced techno-war (first premiered during the 1991 Gulf War) as the primary warfighting model. It suggests that image warfare is a form of warfare in which al-Qaeda currently dominates while the West is still playing catch-up. Consequently there is an urgent need to better understand image warfare, rather than merely revising techno-war strategies, in an attempt to counter the new security challenges...

Chasing the High Fliers: Recent Advances in the Study of Insect Migration
Dr Jason Chapman, Insect Migration & Spatial Ecology group, Rothamsted Research, UK
Monday 17 June 2013, 1600-1700
Lecture Theatre 10, Management School Building
Billions of insects migrate between winter and summer ranges to take advantage of seasonally-available breeding resources. To cover the distances required (100s km), many insects rely on wind assistance, and routinely ascend 100s m above the ground to migrate in fast-moving airstreams. Given that wind speeds are typically three to five times faster than the insects' airspeeds, it was not clear what influence high-flying migrants could exert on their migration direction or whether substantial...
