SUMMARY:Knowledge Snack: Digital Twins of infrastructure and the environment
DESCRIPTION:The idea of an Intelligent Digital Avatar conjures up many images from a complete virtual world that one can safely define\, develop and play in to rogue robots running amok and destroying mankind. The reality is much less dramatic but no less far reaching and exciting. —Professor Mark Girolami \nProfessor Mark Girolami will discuss Digital Twins and chart their history to present day technological capability and present some of the advances being made and the opportunities along with the open challenges faced to realise the potential of Digital Twins. Mark’s talk will be followed by BAS AI researcher Scott Hosking\, who will touch upon how developing Digital Twins of natural environments can help us intelligently focus our measurement sampling\, which would be a game-changer over remote and hostile environments such as the polar regions where battery power and accessibility is challenging. His team at BAS is already developing and deploying new AI-based methods to bring together the diverse scientific and engineering expertise and data held at BAS\, and from 2021 will start to align and integrate those efforts with those of the European Green Deal\, i.e.\, to develop a Digital Twin of the Earth by 2030. \n16:00 Opening welcome by BAS Director of Innovation and Impact\, Beatrix Schlarb-Ridley \n16:03 Mark Girolami \n16:18 Scott Hosking \n16:33 Q&A & discussion\, moderated by BAS Impact Facilitator\, Pilvi Muschitiello \nTo join the talk please fill in the registration form at the bottom of the page—A calendar invitation with Zoom details will be sent to you following registration.\n  \nSpeaker biographies:\n \nMark Girolami holds the Sir Kirby Laing Chair of Civil Engineering at the University of Cambridge where he also holds the Lloyds Register Foundation-Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair in Data Centric Engineering in the Department of Engineering at Cambridge.

SUMMARY:UK Antarctic Science Conference 2021
DESCRIPTION:The University of Edinburgh and the British Antarctic Survey are delighted to host the 2021 UK Online Antarctic Science Conference over Monday 22 to Thursday 25 March 2021. This is a replacement meeting for the cancelled 2020 meeting at the University of Edinburgh\, and hence the first opportunity in 2.5 years for our UK Antarctic community to gather together and disseminate our latest research findings and intentions. \nThe main conference will run over four afternoons\, incorporating oral and virtual poster presentations. We will intersperse the meeting with regular breakout rooms to facilitate as much interaction as possible in this virtual world! \nWe will also host side meetings during this week\, either in the mornings or afternoons depending on numbers of speakers in the main conference. The side meetings will include a UK Polar Network session\, and a session on Scoping for Future Antarctic Science Priorities run by the UK Arctic and Antarctic Partnership. For anyone concerned about zoom fatigue\, we will assemble the schedule to allow some sensible dipping in and out of the meeting over the week. \nWe welcome contributions on any aspect of Antarctic Science\, and look forward to seeing you all in late March. \nFor organisational enquiries please contact Robert Bingham. \nAbstract Submission deadline: Friday 5 March 2021 \nRegistration deadline: Monday 15 March 2021 \n\n

SUMMARY:5th International ANGWIN workshop
DESCRIPTION:Workshop focus: Atmospheric gravity wave dynamics and coupling in the polar regions: observations and modelling \nANGWIN (Antarctic Gravity Wave Instrument Network) is an action group of the Scientific Committee of Antarctic Research (SCAR) that utilizes a network of instrumentation operated at several international research stations around Antarctica with the primary research goal of quantifying and understanding the dominant sources\, propagation\, and impact of such dynamical processes on a continental-wide scale. \nThis online workshop invites presentations on new ground-based or satellite observational studies\, numerical modelling studies or theoretical studies of Arctic or Antarctic gravity wave sources\, propagation\, instabilities\, and their effects on local\, regional\, and global scales in any region of the atmosphere. \nWe aim to have a mix of recorded & live talks at 2 different times (to capture as many different time zones as possible) and virtual poster sessions. \nDue to circumstances outside our control the online ANGWIN workshop will postponed provisionally to September. All registrations will be considered valid\, and you will be informed of the new dates of the workshop as soon as possible. We thank you for your understanding. \n\n  \n\n

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. Credit: BAS. \n\nICE CORE\nExperience the sound of ancient air bubbles popping as an Antarctic Peninsula ice core emerges from an insulated tube. 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. Credit: BAS. \n\nICE STORIES\nIce Stories draws on personal anecdotes\, memories and oral testimonies from the national and international scientists and experts whose lived experiences of the Arctic and Antarctic facilitate and enable their narrative futures to be written. \nThe unique experiences and perspectives of people who have worked with Antarctic ice are captured in the Ice Stories series.

SUMMARY:COP26 Walrus from Space
DESCRIPTION:Gaze down at the Arctic \nJoin scientists from Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) and British Antarctic Survey (BAS) to discuss the Walrus From Space project and learn how YOU can help them better understand the impacts of the climate crisis on walrus. \nPlanetarium\, Glasgow Science Centre\nAll times GMT: \n\nMonday 1 November 2021 – 14.00-15.00\nTuesday 2 November 2021 – 12:00 – 13:00\nWednesday 3 November 2021 – 12:00 – 13:00\nThursday 4 November 2021 – 14:00 – 15:00\nFriday 5 November 2021 – 12:00 – 13:00\nTuesday 9 November 2021 – 10:00 – 12:00\nThursday 11 November 2021 – 16:00 – 18:00\nFriday 12 November 2021 – 10:00 – 12:00\n\nThe climate crisis has put the Arctic in meltdown\, with this polar region warming almost three times faster than the rest of the world. The sea ice walrus depend on is melting beneath them and we need to know more about how their populations are impacted. \nWWF and BAS are asking the public to become ‘Walrus Detectives’ and help contribute to conservation science by searching for walrus in the thousands of satellite images taken from space. Over the next 5 years the project aims to carry out the first ever census of the Atlantic and Laptev walrus population using satellite imagery and explore what might happen to walrus in the context of rapid climate change. This will help scientists to better understand the impact of climate change on populations of this iconic species and help safeguard their future. \n \nOur collective actions add up to something powerful\, and we want you to be some of the first of the 500\,000 people we hope to take part in this project as ‘citizen scientists’ over the next 5 years. \nThe sessions will begin with a presentation from one or more of the scientists leading the project\, displaying imagery of walrus in the Arctic. Followed by a Q&A with the scientists and the opportunity to take part in the project and become a walrus scientist yourself! \nBook your tickets to attend: https://ukcop26.org/the-conference/green-zone-programme-of-events/

SUMMARY:Engagement seminar: Digital twinning for marine science fieldwork
DESCRIPTION:Engagement seminar: Digital Twinning: a new perspective for marine science fieldwork\nThis event is part of the activities of the UK Ocean Digital Twinning project\, which aims at investigating digital twinning as a tool for increasing inclusivity in marine science. \nThis project is led by a subset of the Challenger Society EIDA working group and funded by NERC’s making environmental science equal\, diverse\, and inclusive programme. \nIn this BAS-hosted engagement seminar we will discuss digital twinning as a way to complement and enhance traditional marine science fieldwork.  A digital twin refers to a digital representation of a system via in situ and remotely sensed observations and/or models\, and can include representations of data\, processes\, and perturbations of the system in question with time. Such techniques can be used to enhance and guide in-situ fieldwork activities\, and also allows the useful participation of personnel not deployed to the field. Additionally\, digital twins can improve fieldwork planning and staff preparation for fieldwork\, just to name a few. \nThe seminar will be partially interactive\, and anonymous polling will be used for perception gathering to inform the next stage of activities of the project.\n\n\nPLEASE REGISTER FOR THIS SEMINAR BY USING THE BELOW FORM

SUMMARY:British Antarctic Survey at Bluedot Festival
DESCRIPTION:British Antarctic Survey is delighted to be exhibiting at this year’s Bluedot Festival from 21-24 July 2022. \nBluedot is four days of music\, science and cosmic culture set in the shadow of the Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire. \n \nPolar science and engineering comes to life in the Mission Control marquee. You’ll get a chance to see a model of our new polar ship RRS Sir David Attenborough alongside an underwater Slocum glider\, which is used by oceanographers to collect data from the ocean and under the edge of glaciers. For the first time\, BAS is bringing an ancient ice core collected from Antarctica. This will allow visitors to see and listen to ancient air from thousands of years ago escaping from the ice. These cores provide the gold standard for scientists to understand past climate change. \nA Slocum glider will be on display for visitors to see. Photo credit: Ryan Scott. \nVisitors can also learn what Antarctica looks like if you lift off the ice\, and you can pretend to sleep under canvas in our field camp complete with pyramid tent\, sheepskin rug\, sleeping bag and primus stove with some of the food researchers in the ‘deep field’ eat when on fieldwork. We’ll also be talking about the Southern Ocean food chain\, explaining how we’re reducing our stations carbon footprint and presenting innovative projects such as our Climate Code shirt\, made in collaboration with DressCode Shirts. You’ll meet a pilot\, glaciologist\, oceanographer\, biologist\, engineer and many more from our friendly and approachable team! \nMarine biologist Dr Huw Griffiths will give an online talk and there’ll even be a live link up to the all-women wintering team at Bird Island Research Station and our ship on the RRS Sir David Attenborough. Details to follow. \nVisitors will be able to see what the land beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheets looks like. \nFor the first time festival-goers will be able to see an ice core\, extracted from Antarctica\, containing ancient air from thousands of years ago. \nYou can find out more about the Bluedot Festival here
