SUMMARY:Pop into the Polar Museum
DESCRIPTION:As part of this year’s Cambridge Festival\, why not drop into the Polar Museum in the heart of the city and enjoy a full day of ice-themed activities? \nMeet artist Rowan Huntley and take the opportunity to talk with her about her work featured in the Through Ice and Fire exhibition. You’ll also be able to get hands-on with samples from her research and artistic experiments\, offering a unique insight into her creative process. \nBritish Antarctic Survey will have a field tent on display\, giving you the chance to step inside and experience what it’s like to live and work in extreme polar conditions. Try on authentic polar clothing worn by researchers during field trips in remote parts of Antarctica and learn more about what it takes to survive in such a harsh\, icy environment. \nYou can also explore the museum’s fascinating collection\, with opportunities to handle objects connected to geology and scientific research in the polar regions across history. Chat with knowledgeable staff and volunteers as you examine geology samples and scientific equipment up close.

SUMMARY:Ice on show at Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:British Antarctic Survey and the University of Cambridge will be at the 2024 Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition\, talking all about how we’re unlocking the past using ice cores from Antarctica. \nThe ice cores team explain how bubbles of air trapped in ice can unlock the secrets of the past. BAS. \nThis annual event is a free\, interactive experience for anyone curious about the latest advances in science and technology. With more than 300 scientists and 14 flagship exhibits\, there’s something for everyone. And if you can’t make it in person\, there will be plenty of online content including livestream demos and interviews! \nIn partnership with the University of Cambridge\, our researchers will be showcasing how by unlocking the past we can understand and determine the future. \n \n  \nUnlocking the Past \nBeneath the surface of Antarctica lies a pristine record of the ancient atmosphere. By drilling down thousands of  metres into the ice sheet we can recover samples of ice from nearly one million years ago. The bubbles trapped in the ice are tiny bottles of ancient air. We use them to determine how greenhouse gases have changed in the past. We can also use the ice that entombs this air to understand how the temperature has changed over time. \n  \nUnderstanding the Present \nIce core data suggests that in the past some parts of the Antarctic ice sheet suddenly became unstable over just a few centuries. \nScientists are doing research to see if the same processes are happening today. There is evidence that parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may be reaching a tipping point\, beyond which irreversible melting could occur. This could dramatically raise global sea levels affecting millions of people. \n  \nDetermining the Future \nWhat we learn from ice cores about the past informs us about the changes we may see in the future. \nOur choices and actions today will have a huge impact on how climate change will unfold in the coming decades. \nThe more we limit climate change\, the less likely we are to reach tipping points\, lose Antarctic ice and raise sea levels.

SUMMARY:Join British Antarctic Survey at Climate Exp0 for COP26
DESCRIPTION:Online\, free and open to all\, Climate Exp0 is the first virtual conference from the COP26 Universities Network and the Italian University Network for Sustainable Development (RUS). \nWe are pleased to announce that British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is taking part in Climate Exp0 (17-21 May 2021) to showcase key polar science and the journey towards Net Zero. Registration for Climate Exp0 is open (HERE). \n \nDuring 20 May ‘Adaptation and Resilience’ day\, BAS director of science Prof. David Vaughan will deliver ‘on demand’ presentation ‘International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration – reducing uncertainty in global sea-level projections’ about the importance of ongoing collaborative research to determine how much and how fast the unstable Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica will contribute to sea-level rise. \nBAS marine benthic ecologist Dr Dave Barnes will deliver presentation ‘Climate mitigation through biological conservation; extensive blue carbon natural capital at Tristan da Cunha​’ during the ‘Nature-based Solutions research Showcase’ as part of the Nature-based Solutions theme day on 18 May. \nBAS is also presenting posters Climate Exp0\, including: \n\n‘Reaching Net Zero in Antarctica’ (Anna Jones et al.) in ‘Adaptation and Resilience’ on demand poster session on 20 May.\n‘International collaborative science to support adaptation and resilience in Southern Ocean ecosystems’ (Nadine Johnston et al. & ICED Scientific Steering Committee) in ‘Adaptation and Resilience’ on demand poster session on 20 May.\n‘Urgent assessment of Atlantic UKOTs blue carbon needed to protect low hanging fruit of climate mitigation’ (David Barnes et al.) in ‘Nature Based Solutions’ on demand poster session on 18 May\n‘Whole ecosystem science to support adaptation and resilience to climate change in the polar oceans’ (Susie Grant et al.) in ‘Adaptation and Resilience’ on demand poster session on 20 May.\n\nEcosystem graphic from ‘Whole ecosystem science to support adaptation and resilience to climate change in the polar oceans’ (Susie Grant et al.) poster! \nClimate Exp0 is the first virtual conference from the COP26 Universities Network and the Italian University Network for Sustainable Development (RUS)\, sponsored by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI)\, Cambridge University Press and the 2021 UN Climate Change Summit (COP26). \nRunning from 17-21 May 2021\, it takes place at a critical juncture in the COP26 pre-meetings and negotiations\, and is part of the All4Climate Italy 2021 official pre-COP26 initiatives. \nThe programme\, now available online\, features the latest thinking and most relevant international climate change and policy research across five themes including Green Recovery; Nature-based Solutions; Mitigation Solutions; Adaptation and Resilience; and Finance and Regulation. \nAddressing one theme each day\, Climate Exp0 showcases an impressive range of over 200 international speakers and contributors confirmed so far\, joining together across a variety of sessions\, ranging from keynotes and panel discussions\, to roundtables\, poster presentations and on-demand content. \nThe event marks a unique occasion at which global policymakers\, academics\, practitioners\, students and members of the public will gather together to collaborate\, share and debate climate change policy\, ahead of the COP26 negotiations in November. \nRegister now (HERE) to join Climate Exp0\, and help advance a resilient\, zero-carbon world.​
