SUMMARY:COP26 Polar Zero Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:If you are at COP26 Green Zone do pop into this new immersive exhibition at Glasgow Science Centre\, Polar Zero injects an artistic and cultural dimension to the climate negotiations at the Conference of the Parties of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP26) in November this year. \n \n \nPolar Zero is a collaboration between British Antarctic Survey (BAS)\, global engineering and consulting firm Arup and the Royal College of Art (RCA)\, is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). \nThe exhibition features an original glass sculpture encasing Antarctic air from the year 1765 – the date that scientists say predates the Industrial Revolution – and an Antarctic ice core containing trapped air bubbles that reveal a unique record of our past climate. Locked deep in Antarctic ice is a unique archive of the Earth’s history reaching back 800\,000 years. Tiny bubbles of air that were trapped as snow fell reveal the astonishing rate of increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide since the start of the Industrial Revolution. \nAs you move around this exhibition you will become an integral part of the story. Polar Zero invites you to take a moment to reflect on what our past means for the present and future climate. \nThere are three elements to the Polar Zero exhibition: \n\n1765 ‘Air’\nIce Core\nIce Stories\n\n\n1765 ‘AIR’\nA cylindrical glass sculpture encases an ampule of genuine Antarctic air from the year 1765. Gases\, including carbon dioxide and methane from the pre-Industrial Revolution era\, capture a pivotal moment in Earth’s history. \nA close-up of the ampule of genuine Antarctic air from the year 1765 is encased in a cylindrical glass sculpture; a fusion of art\, science and engineering.

As it melts and drips away it marks – in an artistic sense – the fragility of the polar ice. \nTrapped air bubbles in a segment of Antarctic ice core.

SUMMARY:COP26 Polar Net Zero
DESCRIPTION:Watch recording\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V9XC3m74ro \nSchools event for COP26: Polar Net Zero\nJoin us online for this interactive event that challenges young people around the globe to think about the part they can play in creating a low carbon future. By questioning world-leading experts who are developing sustainable solutions to reduce energy use at British Antarctic Survey research stations school children will learn how human ingenuity\, creativity\, and technology can help people live with and adapt to climate change. Its key message to students is ‘you can help ensure a greener\, more resilient future for us all’. \nPolar Net Zero: programme and panellists\n\nChapter 1 – Why Antarctica matters.  Dr Peter Fretwell\, British Antarctic Survey\nChapter 2 – Living and building in Antarctica.  Martha McGowan\, BAM\nChapter 3 – Extreme Engineering.  Stewart Craigie\, Sweco\nChapter 4 – Designing net zero polar buildings for the future.  Hugh Broughton\, Hugh Broughton Architects\n\nCompere: Ms Lyndsey Capper\, Newton Farm Primary School\, Glasgow \nYou can join the events virtually by subscribing to the COP26 YouTube channel \nDesign your own Antarctic building!\nHow would you design a polar building? What features would it include? \nFor a chance to win a special prize\, children are invited to complete the Polar Net Zero worksheet by 30 November 2021 at 5pm. Please include the entrants name and age and send to cop26@bas.ac.uk. \nWatch here: \nhttps://youtu.be/5V9XC3m74ro

SUMMARY:Climate Code showcase in collaboration with Cambridge Science Centre
DESCRIPTION:The Climate Code shirt will be showcased at the Grand Arcade on November 27th from 10am to 5pm as part of a Cambridge Science Centre event. We want to invite families to hear more about the science behind the design and our understanding of manmade climate change. Visit our stall at the Grand Arcade and bring your young ones to design their own climate change inspired shirt! \nYou will find us opposite Ed’s Diner on the First Floor of the Grand Arcade in Cambridge. The Cambridge Science Centre is running this pop-up science space throughout November and December. Each day they will be offering a range of exciting and interactive stem-based\, take-home activities suitable for children to do on their own or with a little adult help. Activities will be based on different areas of science\, technology\, engineering or mathematics\, or STEM. We’d love to see you there! \nThe Climate Code shirt features two main datasets – the warming stripes of the shirt fabric represent the last 70 years of temperature records from the Arctic\, with details providing the backdrop of 800\,000 years of Antarctic temperature and CO2-data. The innovative design brings together the dynamic story of the past and the worrying trends of the present in a novel visualisation that aims to inspire climate action. Read more about the Climate Code shirt. \nBAS Driector of Innovation and Impact Beatrix Schlarb-Ridley wearing the first sample of the Climate Code shirt
