PRESCIENT
PRESCIENT supports long-term, strategically important measurements and capabilities for the wider science community.
As a Scientific Data Manager at the UK Polar Data Centre at BAS, I focus on management, publication, archiving and integration of marine UK-funded research data collected in Antarctic and Arctic polar regions. In my role I manage biological, chemical and physical oceanography data generated during marine surveys from UK-funded polar programmes, BAS research vessels and the BAS science programmes Pelagic Ecosystems, Polar Oceans and marine aspects of Biodiversity, Evolution and Adaptation. I act as a co-chair of the Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS) Data Management Sub-Committee and BAS data liaison for the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) and represent the UK Polar Data Centre at the I-ADOPT working group of the Research Data Alliance.

BIOPOLE studies how climate change is affecting the release of nutrients from the polar regions, and their redistribution around the world’s oceans.
SCOOBIES makes long-term observations of key Earth system indicators in the Southern Ocean. These observations are vital for both UK and global science.
