British Antarctic Survey


Over to the British Antarctic Survey on the outskirts of Cambridge today on a day when I had to run for cover several times due to thunderstorms.

Spent the day in the company of Peter Fretwell, who achieved some fame recently due to his work on tracking penguin movements and locations using their poo (or guano to use the technical term) and Paul Cooper.

We were trialling some new GIS resources which will be coming soon to a classroom near you.

We were using an open source GIS package which was new to me...

Thanks to Judith Mansell at the RGS for inviting me to get involved, and thanks to Chris, Paul, Eleanor and Sarah for their company on the day.
