SUMMARY:Extreme Antarctica: Science\, Engineering and Construction
DESCRIPTION:British Antarctic Survey is delighted to be hosting a series of online events and premiering on-demand videos for the Cambridge Festival 2021 between 26 March – 4 April 2021. There is something for all the family to enjoy! \n \nExtreme Antarctica: Science\, Engineering and Construction \nAntarctica is geographically remote and far away but what happens there affects us all. Join British Antarctic Survey scientists and operational staff for a series of exciting talks to learn how our research can help predict how the polar regions may respond to future climate change. \nhttps://youtu.be/qGH-9W6446s \nTalks will cover research on climate change\, sea-level rise\, biodiversity and will include a look at the construction of the UK’s new polar ship the RRS Sir David Attenborough– one of the most advanced polar research vessels in the world. Discover how our scientists are unravelling the secrets of the past to predict the future. \nAnd get up close and personal to our new polar research ship the RRS Sir David Attenborough – learn about its science capabilities including a moon pool which will allow researchers to study the ocean like never before. \n\nFriday 26 March\, 11:00am GMT \nExtreme Antarctica: What happens in Antarctica affects us all \nLive talk and Q&A with Professor Dame Jane Francis\, Director of British Antarctic Survey. \nThank you to everyone for coming! You can watch the talk again here: \n \n\nSaturday 27 March \nNew Youtube playlist for kids\, exploring science and living and working in Antarctica. \nIncluding an introduction to Antarctica’s animals with Dr Huw Griffiths\, exploring the mighty Thwaites Glacier with Dr Kelly Hogan and learning about emperor penguins with Dr Peter Fretwell. \n \nExplore the full playlist ‘Antarctica talks for kids!‘ \n  \n\nMonday 29 March \nRRS Sir David Attenborough: A new polar ship for Britain \n \nA premier of Captain Will Whatley\, Polar Master’s talk about the RRS Sir David Attenborough‘s construction\, and how to pursue a career as a polar captain. \n  \n\nWednesday 31 March \nRRS Sir David Attenborough video premiers!  \n \nFour new videos exploring the build\, the science and the people of new polar ship RRS Sir David Attenborough. See the full playlist here. \n\nWednesday 31 March (2:00pm BST) \nThe ‘Climate Scientists’ podcast: live recording with Q&A \n \nJoin co-hosts Dan Jones and Ella Gilbert for a live recording of the Climate Scientists podcast. \nIn this webinar\, we will be joined by Tom Andersson and Kelly Hogan\, two BAS scientists pushing the frontiers of what can be done in two crucial areas of scientific growth – artificial intelligence and observational oceanography. Tom Andersson works in the BAS Artificial Intelligence lab and has developed a new forecasting system for Arctic sea ice. Kelly Hogan has big plans for the new polar research vessel\, the RRS Sir David Attenborough. Come join us for a casual conversation about the future of polar science. \n  \n\nThursday 1 April  \nExtreme Engineering: Careers in STEM can take you everywhere…including Antarctica \n \nWatch this unique event with staff working on constructing a new science building at British Antarctic Survey’s Rothera Research Station in Antarctica and hear from the team direct on the ground. \nThe construction team in Antarctica and the wider team from the Antarctic Infrastructure Modernisation Programme\, will be talking about their careers in engineering\, from project management\, digital construction to surveying. They’ll also be discussing what’s it like to work in Antarctica\, the extreme temperatures\, environment and the stunning wildlife. \nThis event was recorded for British Science Week and includes a question and answer session with school students. \n\nSunday 4 April \nMake your own bouncy ‘sea urchin’ eggs! \n \nAn eggs-cellent activity for you to try at home! Nick Barret shows the impact of ocean acidification on sea urchins by teaching us how to make bouncy eggs. \nClick here to watch!  \n  \n  \n\nFollow British Antarctic Survey on social media for notification of the latest updates on Twitter\, Facebook\, LinkedIn or Instagram. \n\n  \nTake a look at the full Cambridge Festival event programme here. \n \n\nAccessibility statement \nThis event will take place online only\, all relevant links will be made available in the event page above as soon as available. If you experience any accessibility issues for the British Antarctic Survey Cambridge Festival Event\, please contact information@bas.ac.uk. \nThe following accessibility information applies to www.bas.ac.uk. \nThis website is run by British Antarctic Survey. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example\, that means you should be able to: \n\nzoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen\nnavigate most of the website using just a keyboard\nnavigate most of the website using speech recognition software\nlisten to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS\, NVDA and VoiceOver)\n\nAbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability. \nFurther information: https://www.bas.ac.uk/accessibility/ \n
