This page contains a list with next and coming talks on our weekly seminars in Computer Vision and Marine Technology.
Autumn 2025 – MTRU Seminar dates
Thurs/Fri 9-10 October (online)
Operation Wallacea conference focusing on the research and science of expeditions. Jon will be presenting 1pm Friday 10 October.
1pm Monday 8 Sept (5A.540 and online)
Dr Tim Stojanovic, Senior Lecturer in Sustainable Development and Geography at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, will give an insight into “Evaluating Marine (Spatial) Planning”. Marine (Spatial) Planning (MSP) is now entering a second iteration in many parts of the world, so now is an ideal time to reflect on what has been learned. In the first part of this seminar Dr Stojanovic will review what marine plans have aimed to achieve. In the main part of the seminar, Dr Stojanovic will outline five key major theoretical approaches which have been used to review marine planning, and what they reveal about the strengths and weaknesses of MSP in different nations.
