What is FMRI and why does it matter?

Your Questions Answered

Since our episodes earlier this year, you, our listeners, have had lots of questions and comments about FMRI so to answer your questions, we’ve bought back some previous guests of the podcast Join ocean scientist and broadcaster Dr Helen Czerzki as she sits down with: •    Leigh Storey, the senior responsible owner for FMRI •    Professor Kate Hendry, British Antarctic Survey Together, they answer questions which you have sent in covering topics including the future of FMRI, net zero in research, how technological advances work together with autonomy, and international collaboration going forward.

Imagining the future of UK ocean research

Rapid changes in technology mean that the way we do oceans research is always developing, whether that's using gliders to collect data or just being able to answer emails while on an expedition. But how can we ensure these changes make efficient use of our time, technology, and international collaborators?Join ocean scientist and broadcaster Dr Helen Czerski as she sits down with:  * Leigh Storey, the senior responsible owner for FMRI * Professor Kate Hendry, British Antarctic Survey * Professor Yueng-Djern Lenn, Bangor University Together, they discuss the results of the  net zero oceanographic capability project and imagine the future of oceans research.

How do we design for the future?

FMRI is a big project with lots of big ideas on the table, so what actually has to happen to make them a reality? What's the current status of our marine research infrastructure, and how can we think about trade-offs when designing technology for the future? Join ocean scientist and broadcaster Dr Helen Czerski as she sits down with:  * Leigh Storey, the senior responsible owner for FMRI * Sophie Fielding, Zooplankton ecologist from the British Antarctic Survey * Maaten Furlong, Associate Director of the National Marine Facilities at the National Oceanography Centre Together, they dig into the practicalities of securing funding for the next few decades of ocean research, and discuss whether there really is a battle between ships and autonomous vehicles.

What is FMRI and why does it matter?

So what actually is FMRI, why does it matter now, and how can a very diverse community work together to create and then get behind a single vision?  Join ocean scientist and broadcaster Dr Helen Czerski as she sits down with:  * Leigh Storey, the senior responsible owner for FMRI * Professor Sir Ian Boyd, polar scientist and former Chief Scientific Advisor for DEFRA and member of the FMRI board * Professor Catherine Heymans, Astronomer Royal for Scotland Together, they lay out the landscape for the FMRI project, discuss the big picture opportunities and challenges, and try to understand what ocean researchers could learn from how the space sciences achieve similar large funding goals.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
