IET Cambridge presents:
AUTOMATING AN ANTARCTIC RESEARCH STATION, OR HOW TO DO SOMETHING HARD, REALLY HARD! More Events
Speaker:
Mike Rose British Antarctic Survey
Date/Time:
Thursday 7th November 2019 @ 6:30 PM
Venue:
Cambridge
Details:
"The difficulties of operating the most southerly UK Antarctic research station, Halley, are considerable. Halley is built on a floating, moving iceshelf, that continuously accumulates snow and ice. Structures have no firm foundations and getting cargo and people to the station is only possible in the brief summer months. This talk will discuss how and what the next steps will be and how the site is powered during the winter months."
