SUMMARY:Symposium to Honour the Life and Work of Dr Mike Thomson
DESCRIPTION:About this Event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn online event to honour the life and work of Dr Mike Thomson. If you were unable to attend the event on 12 May 2021\, please find the meting recording HERE. (Access Passcode: rV5yD+Kg) \n\nYou can also listen to Dr Mike Thomson BAS Archives interview HERE. \n\nMike was one of the true pioneers of Antarctic geology and played a pivotal role in establishing geology as a critical discipline within the modern era of the British Antarctic Survey. An accomplished palaeontologist by training\, he subsequently developed a wide range of geological and management skills in his role as Head of the Geological Sciences Division\, a position that he held for over ten years. In this time geology was amalgamated with geophysics\, major new international projects were initiated\, and field studies developed far beyond the traditional stamping grounds on the Antarctic Peninsula. \n \n\n\n\n\n  \nPROGRAMME \n  \n1. Jane Francis \nWelcome\, outline of the symposium & personal recollections \n  \n2. David Macdonald & Bob Pankhurst \nMike T – the man who dated the Antarctic Peninsula \n  \n3. Pete Clarkson & Phil Stone \nEarly days and Birmingham \n  \n4. Bryan Storey & John Smellie \nBAS Cambridge & Head of Geological Sciences \n  \nShort Break \n  \n5. Ian Dalziel & David Elliot \nInternational collaborations \n  \n6. Pete Rawson & Alistair Crame \nAmmonites and other fossils \n  \n7. Chris Elliot \nTales from the John Biscoe \n  \n8. Open forum – chaired by Bruce Mair

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.​
