Antarctic Flags Project - ARE YOU CURRENTLY IN ANTARCTICA?

Hello all,

 

I hope you are well.

 

If you are currently in Antarctica and have a few minutes to spare, we would really appreciate it if you could photograph a few flags for schools who have sent their artwork to us. Most flags have now been photographed, but we have a few stragglers that were either missed or the person who volunteered had their trip curtailed or cancelled. If you are able to help in the next few weeks I would greatly appreciate if you could photograph between 1 and 4 flags for me.

 

This is for the UK Polar Network Antarctic Flags Project: https://polarnetwork.org/education-and-outreach/antarctic-flags/

 

If you can help, please email me back for further details.

 

Many thanks

 

Fiona

UKPN - film project

I am resending the below, after receiving an automated reply that it may not have been posted the first time. 

I would love anyone's help or guidance in regards the the short film request below. 

The Polar Wold is not something that I"m used to navigate in my usual work searches.

Thank you very much!

Dear UK Polar Network members,

I'm a researcher for a new short film for LG Electronics, directed by Fred Scott. I'm looking to feature a real-life story of someone who works in remote places, far from family, on research or nature projects etc, for extended periods of time. Looking for cold, icy, polar locations!

Could anyone on this list help guide me, to find a (worker / scientist / researcher) that is separated from their families to work in a remote place for weeks or months at a time. It's a beautiful project, anchored through a spirit of optimism and keeping in touch with loved ones even through distance for long periods of time. We are aiming to film in mid to late April with someone deployed in a remote location.

Would love to brainstorm with anyone and see how you could contribute. The brief is vast, open to many fields of work.

This doesn't necessarily have to involve an organization directly (but it also could if they are open to it). I'm looking for an individual that fits the profile above, either in their own personal capacity, or also in relation to an organization. 

 Thank you in advance,

CCfCS Polar Symposium invitation - 12th May 2025

Good morning everyone!

The Cambridge Centre for Climate Science (in collaboration with the Institute of Computing for Climate Sciences, the British Antarctic Survey and the UK Polar Network) is inviting you to join the CCfCS Polar Symposium 2025 . The aim of this event is to connect polar and climate researchers in Cambridge (in both science and humanities) and provide an overview of the work at Cambridge which contributes to understanding and mitigating climate change.

This will be an afternoon of talks from a variety of research institutions and departments in Cambridge, followed by a poster session and workshop aimed at early-career researchers. The event will be a great opportunity to find new collaborators and meet like-minded people interested in polar science and climate change across Cambridge. Early career researchers are particularly encouraged to participate.

All UKPN members are warmly invited to join, in-person or online. There is a lot of research ongoing at Cambridge that would be of interest to early career polar scientists in the UK. 

Event details:

- When: Monday 12th May 2025 13:00-18:00

- Where: British Antarctic Survey, Conference Theatre (+online)

- Registration fee: Free!

- If you wish to attend (presenting or not) please register here: https://forms.gle/kCLv1QWixdfmKb4ZA

We will provide a more detailed schedule once we have collected all the abstracts. The day will include free hot drinks, cake and snacks, and the event will be followed by a social (TBC). 

Abstract deadline: Monday 21st April 2025, 17:00

We look forward to seeing you soon! 

Best wishes,
