EVENT: Talks on Tuesdays

TALKS ON TUESDAYS

Talks on Tuesdays is a weekly event where a lecturer, professor, or storyteller delivers a TED-style presentation on a fascinating topic – from psychology and science to history, culture, and creativity. Each talk runs for one hour and is designed to spark curiosity, fresh perspectives, and meaningful conversation. You can order food, grab a drink, and enjoy a night that feels different to your usual Tuesday. It’s smart, social, and made for people who love to learn something new – without committing to a full course or lecture series.

EVENTS in Melbourne, Geelong, Adelaide also coming soon Perth, Brisbane and Sydney.

Coming up:

Adelaide, 28 July: Climate Extremes: How Australia’s Climate Is Changing

Why are once-in-a-generation weather events becoming increasingly common? Why can one part of Australia be in severe drought while another is experiencing catastrophic flooding?

This lecture examines the science behind Australia’s changing climate through the lens of recent extreme weather events. From South Australia’s record-breaking drought to marine heatwaves and widespread flooding, discover how these events are connected, what they reveal about our climate system, and why understanding them is essential for Australia’s future.

Your Speaker: John Boland is Emeritus Professor of Environmental Mathematics and Deputy Director of the Industrial AI Research Centre at Adelaide University.
