Britain's What's On Event Guide
Convex Seascape Survey & Encounter EDU Live Lessons
For British Science Week [7-16 March], Convex Seascape Survey and Encounter Edu are making ocean literacy more accessible than ever with two bespoke live lessons designed to inspire students and bring cutting-edge marine research into classrooms.
The Convex Seascape Survey is a five-year study investigating how the ocean’s continental shelves store carbon and play a crucial role in climate mitigation. As part of this work, the survey has developed immersive education programmes that connect young minds with the science shaping our future.
Can Whales Change the Climate?
[Tuesday, 11 March at 2pm]
Dr Carlos Angulo-Preckler reveals how whales act as natural climate champions, storing carbon and fertilising marine ecosystems. Younger students, from age seven, will explore scientific data, take part in a whale-spotting challenge, and discover why protecting whales is key to tackling climate change.
CSI Seabed
[Thursday, 13 March at 2pm]
Dr Rebecca Parker and Dr Richard Tennant from the University of Exeter will uncover the vital role of seagrass meadows in storing carbon using environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis for older students from age 11. Like forensic science for the ocean, eDNA is helping researchers solve environmental mysteries and protect marine habitats.
