Women in Maths - Lisa Mott
In August 2014 Maryam Mirzakhani, a professor at Stanford University, became the first woman to win the Fields Medal for achievements in mathematics, a medal comparable in prestige to a Nobel Prize, first awarded in 1936. Although around 40% of the UK undergraduates in mathematics are women, there is a well-documented leaking pipeline when it comes to women choosing to do a PhD and then choosing an academic career path. The proportion of women mathematicians declines rapidly the higher one loo

Motivations for Greening Business Question Bank
Question Bank for Part One of Greening Business: There are many reasons for businesses to improve their environmental and sustainability performances. These include: meeting legislative requirements; pre-empting legislative requirements to gain competitive advantage; product innovation to meet a new market; customer demand; requirements for tenders; cost savings; and protecting/enhancing company image.
Life Cycle Analysis and Carbon Footprinting Session Outline
Part Three of Greening Business: Life cycle analysis is a relatively new approach to environmental management which seeks to understand the impact of all related aspects of a product or service over its whole life cycle from production to disposal. An understanding of life cycle analysis is essential to a holistic understanding of the impact of products and services and hence the environmental benefits of changes to processes. It also underpins the process of carbon footprinting.

Climatic and Oceanic Influences on Human Ecology
The Module is organised around three parts, namely, Oceanography and Climatology/ Meteorology’. In the third part we shall study Climate Change in some detail – what the research currently tells us, and the intervention of human agency. Each part is broken into several units which build sequentially and progressively, and earlier ones have concepts and content which will be revisited from time-to-time and in increasing complexity. Given the essential connectedness of environmental systems, c
Delivering Sustainable Development Activity 8: Participation Techniques
This activity concentrates on examining some of the formal participatory techniques that have been developed and utilised as part of Local Actions for Sustainability such as Local Agenda 21 processes - and increasingly in other contexts such as processes of environmental and health decision-making.
