    13: Polar science is a secret strength in international relations | with Oliver Darke
    Feb 26 2026
    Geopolitics grows more unstable, and interest in Earth’s polar regions is growing. The collaborative spirit and achievements of polar science are growing all the more important.
    In this edition of Beyond the Ice, Oliver Darke, Director of Operations, Engineering and Infrastructure at British Antarctic Survey, talks about what international collaboration in Antarctica looks like on the ground - and how this fits into today’s diplomatic global context.
    In Antarctica, the continent has been governed internationally and cooperatively through the Antarctic Treaty since 1959 – an agreement which suspends territorial claims and preserves Antarctica for peace and science. How does this unique context create opportunity for international partnerships?

  • 12: Can art help communicate climate science? | Dr Jo Johnson & Rowan Huntley

    12: Can art help communicate climate science? | Dr Jo Johnson & Rowan Huntley
    Jan 2 2026
    Artist Rowan Huntley and British Antarctic Survey Geochemist Dr Joanne Johnson have been working together to translate polar science into art. Their exhibition at the The Polar Museum in Cambridge is Rowan’s creative response to Jo's research into glaciers, ice sheets, and the geology of Antarctica.
    This collaboration comes at a critical moment. The climate crisis is no longer a distant threat, yet scientific data can be overwhelming, and abstract numbers can leave people feeling disconnected rather than motivated to act. Art offers another way in, transforming the science into something tangible, emotional, and open to questioning. It invites audiences to engage with the realities of climate change on different, more human terms.

    11: Why is everyone talking about geoengineering? | Professor Dame Jane Francis
    Sep 25 2025
    Geoengineering is the hot topic in climate science debate - drawing increasingly emotive and divisive responses, as investment in blue-sky engineering proposals grows and progress on decarbonisation stutters.
    Geoengineering is the deliberate, large scale intervention in Earth's environment and natural systems. As the impacts of climate change start to be felt, preliminary ideas like putting a huge underwater curtain around the unstable Thwaites Glacier are getting more and more media time. Are these necessary tools for climate adaption, or dangerous distractions?
    Professor Dame Jane Francis, Director of British Antarctic Survey, delves into the reality of why we are turning towards geoengineering tools, and the urgent need for scientific engagement to ensure the potential impacts of these technologies are fully assessed.
