 d9W45Jtn5WWDfVj1\n\nCambridge is an active centre of climate research.  In
  this afternoon session\, come learn about three large climate projects an
 d explore possible opportunities for collaboration/connection with this cu
 tting-edge work. \n\nSchedule \n\n2.00pm Andy Smith\, British Antarctic Su
 rvey\, iSTAR: An introduction to NERC’s ice sheet stability research pro
 gramme\n\n2.30pm Dan Jones\, British Antarctic Survey\, ORCHESTRA: Ocean R
 egulation of Climate through Heat and Carbon Sequestration and Transports\
 n\n3.00pm John Pyle\, Department of Chemistry\, ACSIS: The North Atlantic 
 Climate System Integrated Study\n\n3.30pm Tea/coffee/biscuits\n\nAbout the
  projects\n\niSTAR aims to improve our understanding of what’s happening
  to the area of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet where the greatest rates of i
 ce loss over the last decades have been observed. New knowledge about the 
 stability of this ice sheet is critical for making better predictions abou
 t how the ocean and ice will respond to environmental change\, and what im
 pact this may have on future sea level.\n\nORCHESTRA aims to advance our u
 nderstanding of\, and capability to predict\, the Southern Ocean’s impac
 t on climate change via its uptake and storage of heat and carbon.  ORCHES
 TRA will address these issues using the UK’s capability and infrastructu
 re in ocean and high-latitude research\, including major ship expeditions\
 , autonomous vehicle deployments and research aircraft campaigns\, with th
 e data collected used to improve model schemes and validate model outputs\
 , and with the improved capability fed through to UK climate model develop
 ment.\n\nThe North Atlantic Climate System Integrated Study (ACSIS) aims t
 o to enhance the UK’s capability to detect\, attribute and predict chang
 es in the North Atlantic Climate System\, comprising: the North Atlantic O
 cean\, the atmosphere above it including its composition\, and interaction
 s with Arctic Sea Ice and the Greenland Ice Sheet.\n\nhttp://www.climatesc
