正文(英文) | The tall ship Pelican of London is circumnavigating the UK on a mission to mentor young scientists and conduct a ‘British ocean health check’. As part of its scheduled stop at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton yesterday the crew collected a replica sailing ship bucket to help their project. Just before setting sail on the Pelican this morning, Dr Penny Fidler, CEO of The UK Association for Science and Discovery Centres a partner in the Darwin200 Project, said, “We are honoured to be collaborating with the National Oceanography Centre on an exciting project for students, to better understand the collection of sea surface temperature data during sea voyages over the last 170 years, since around the time of Darwin, and how these contribute to the climate record. “The students on the Darwin200 voyage will compare measurements made by modern methods such as those for the MET Office with historic means, using Dr Kent’s replica bucket, to better understand how data and measurements are collected. The full science program for students on board the ship is led by environmental scientist Dr Richard Sandford and Dr Charlotte Braungardt from the University of Plymouth.”
The NOC’s Dr Elizabeth Kent, explains more about her replica sailing bucket and its critical part in the story of past, present and future climate measurement, To find out more about the importance of buckets for climate science watch an interview with Dr Elizabeth Kent on the BBC and read more on our website. You can follow the Darwin200 UK voyage over on Twitter @Darwin200_ and their website. This circumnavigation of the UK is in preparation of the 2021 Darwin200 global voyage. This new collaboration with The UK Association for Science and Discovery Centres, Darwin200 project and Plymouth University is just one way we're progressing our charitable objective to educate and inspire future generations to engage their talents in the field of ocean science. |
