Video Description

Charles Elton was the ‘Father of Ecology’, and paved the way for all the research that is now done in Oxford University’s outdoor laboratory, Wytham Woods. His detailed and quirky diaries – written over twenty years of study – offer an intriguing insight into this groundbreaking period, and represent the first time many scientific observations had ever been made, preserved on paper to offer today’s researchers a window into the past. Featuring interviews with Caroline Pond, Ceri Watkins and Keith Kirby. Video made by Angel Sharp Media http://www.angelsharp.com/ More from the Laboratory with Leaves video series: http://www.wythamwoods.ox.ac.uk/ Oxford is a truly international university, bringing together the best and brightest minds from around the world. Our 13,000 staff and 22,000 students come from a wide range of backgrounds and over 140 countries and territories, making Oxford a diverse and dynamic place to work and study.
