The 1950s was an era of innovation in many fields of science and design, including here in Dundee. This exhibition features a wide range of objects and artworks from the University of Dundee Museum Collections. From bold new designs for furniture and textiles to cutting-edge scientific equipment and medical breakthroughs, don’t miss this celebration of the Futuristic Fifties!

Open Mon-Fri 9.30am-7pm Sat 11am-4pm. Closed for Christmas 23 Dec – 2 Jan.

Please note, due to a recent incident, only staff and students will be able to access the building after 5pm on weekdays using their University ID cards.

We are excited to invite you to TCELT-INTR’s ‘Transitions Community Compass’ series. Each session will involve a number of guests who will share how they have navigated their transitions journeys. This will take the form of a relaxed conversation which will provide insights into unique and dynamic transitions as well as strategies for navigating them.

Madhavi Dubey will share her transition experiences as an international postgraduate student in Scotland and a Scottish University. She will focus on her multiple transitions, such as academic, professional, cultural and social, and their interaction with the transitions of her family, peers and staff. She will also highlight the strategies she has used and continues to use to navigate these ongoing transitions.

She will be in conversation with Dr Usha Mani who works with international students and is also the EDI co-ordinator for student services at the University of Dundee. 

Abstract: 

Sparse meteorological and snowpack data pose challenges for hydrological modeling in the Upper Indus Basin. The snow water equivalent (SWE) of the winter snowpack is a crucial predictor and influencer of spring flow, but its utilization in hydrological applications is constrained due to significant uncertainty. Utilizing global satellite and re-analysis datasets that furnish gridded meteorological and SWE information might be a promising avenue to enhance the assessment of hydrological processes and simulate snowpack behaviour. Exploring the representation of hydrological processes and SWE through global and regional satellite and reanalysis datasets could prove valuable for predicting streamflow, modelling snowpack accumulation, and determining the timing of snowmelt in snowmelt driven watersheds within the Upper Indus Basin.
