SUMMARY:A journey through UK science as a researcher and lead investigator – a talk by Dr Karen Salt
DESCRIPTION:The Diversity in UK Polar Science team are delighted to welcome Dr Karen Salt as speaker in their next public webinar on Wednesday 7 October 2020. \n \nSpeaker Biography \nDr Karen Salt has over 26 years’ worth of experience working in and with communities\, organisations\, charities and governmental bodies\, including running non-profits and engaging in community development work. An expert on sovereignty\, power\, collective activism and systems of governance\, she has led and collaborated on a number of research projects\, many of which explore participatory democracy\, trust and collective governance. She is a former member of the Arts and Humanities Research Council Advisory Board and continues to contribute to UK and international conversations about transformational social justice and institutional change. \nDr Karen Salt will share her experiences and expertise in ‘A journey through UK science as a researcher and lead investigator’ Zoom webinar at 11:00am BST\, 7 October 2020. Followed by a Q&A session to enable further discussion. \nDiversity in UK Polar Science Initiative  \nDiversity in UK Polar Science (#DiversityinPolarScience on social media) is an initiative funded by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office\, hosted at British Antarctic Survey\, to promote and enhance polar research opportunities in the UK for all currently under-represented groups\, including women\, BAME\, LGBTQ+ and people with disabilities. Diversity in UK Polar Science will be hosting a series of online public talks to explore the challenges and achievements of people from underrepresented groups in roles linked to Polar Science\, and looking for ways to facilitate greater representation in future. \nEvent Flyer \n \nWe hope you can join us on 7 October 2020\, 11:00am BST\, at the following link: https://ukri.zoom.us/j/96524359168 \n– \nPrevious Talk ‘Diversity\, Leadership and how to bring people on the journey with you – even to Antarctica’ \nYou can re-watch the previous Diversity in UK Polar Science public talk ‘Diversity\, Leadership and how to bring people on the journey with you – even to Antarctica’ delivered by Ben Merrick\, Her Majesty’s Commissioner for the British Antarctic Territory and Director of the Overseas Territories Directorate at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office\, at the following link: https://youtu.be/No555HNUPCA \n– \nDiversity in UK Polar Science Resource Page: https://www.bas.ac.uk/project/diversity-in-uk-polar-science-initiative/diversity-in-uk-polar-science-resources/ \nDiversity in UK Polar Science Blogs: https://www.bas.ac.uk/project/diversity-in-uk-polar-science-initiative/#blog

SUMMARY:Locked into ice: My scientific journey across the Arctic
DESCRIPTION:What does it feel like to be locked in ice\, drifting across the Central Arctic Ocean in the middle of the polar night? Why is it both fascinating and challenging to do scientific research from a frozen icebreaker? How do you build an ice camp on a moving Arctic floe? What mysteries does the Central Arctic Ocean hold\, and in what way are Arctic researchers helping to solve them? \nDr Markus Frey\, on the MOSAiC expedition in the Arctic in 2020. Credit: Markus Frey \n Join the British Embassy Moscow and UK Science and Innovation Network in Russia (SIN Russia) for a live-link with Dr Markus Frey from British Antarctic Survey who has just returned from the MOSAiC expedition\, the largest year-round multinational expedition in the Central Arctic Ocean. Get an insider view into the life and work of an Arctic researcher! The live-link is part of the ‘Different Ever After’ Digital Festival organised by British Embassy Moscow. (Link to the Russian-language Festival website is here: https://dea.theoryandpractice.ru/) \nUK in the Arctic  \nThe Multi-Disciplinary drifting Observatory for the study of Arctic Climate programme (MOSAiC) is the first year-round expedition to study the Arctic climate system from within the central Arctic Ocean. Led by the Alfred Wegener Institute\, in close cooperation with the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute in Russia\, 7 UK research teams have joined the international effort to understand climate change in the Arctic\, and how it might affect us all.   \nWith funding from Natural Environment Research Council and Department for Business\, Energy & Industrial Strategy\, UK projects range from looking at the role of sea ice microbiology in the sulphur cycle (MOSAiC – SIMbRICS) to observing Arctic sea ice breakup and floe size (MOSAiCFSD) and are supported by the NERC Arctic Office. Dr Markus Frey is Principal Investigator for the MOSAIC – SSAASI-CLIM project\, which investigates the interaction between sea ice and atmospheric particles with a purpose–built container laboratory on board the MOSAiC expedition ship RV Polarstern.   \nDr Markus Frey  \nAtmospheric and ice chemist Dr Markus Frey joined British Antarctic Survey in 2008. Dr Frey investigates snow-ice-atmosphere interactions\, enabling an understanding of air quality above snow covered surfaces\, reconstruction of past climate and improved predictions for how the polar regions will respond to future climate change.   \nDr Frey is a seasoned field scientist\, having led 15 field projects in Antarctica\, the Arctic and the Bolivian Andes to carry out atmospheric measurements and collect snow and ice samples. His most recent expedition took place this year from January – June 2020\, where Dr Frey joined the international MOSAiC team on board RV Polarstern in the central Arctic Ocean to operate the SSAASI-CLIM laboratory during a field season disrupted by COVID-19.  \nIn his international research career\, Dr Frey obtained an MSc in Hydrology from the University of Freiburg\, Germany (1999) followed by a PhD in Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences from University of Arizona\, USA (2005) and worked in a French polar research laboratory of the National Centre for Scientific Research (2006-08) prior to joining British Antarctic Survey.   \nHow to join \nJoin the event live online\, 23 October 2020\, 17:00-18:00 UK time at the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85010418004?pwd=T3NZNStCL0doNlRKcU5vdjU3dzNCQT09  \nHosted in collaboration with British Antarctic Survey and NERC Arctic Office. \n  \n
