As we celebrate #BritishScienceWeek, researchers from the University of Portsmouth are on a mission aboard HMS Protector to safeguard one of the world’s most fragile environments. Dr. Keiron Roberts and the Revolution Plastics Institute team used drones to survey the Antarctic coastline, identifying litter hotspots & collecting water samples to measure human impact—especially from tourism. This critical research comes as the world pushes for a global treaty to end plastic pollution. #BSW25

Dr Adele Julier, a senior lecturer and palaeoecologist at the University of Portsmouth, joined HMS Protector to look at climate and weather changes across Antarctica. She said: “I was catching pollen from the air starting in Talcahuano, and continuing for the entire duration of my time on board. Every day, I set 6 microscope slides covered in a sticky substance to catch pollen from the air out around the ship; three around the bridge and 3 on the flight deck. I would then take these in and use a microscope to count the pollen from the air I’d collected. I also set traps to capture pollen over longer time frames (up to 10 days or so). These were plastic funnels filled with cotton wool to trap the pollen from the air and were placed in similar locations to the daily slides. I essentially turned HMS Protector into the world’s biggest pollen trap during my time on board! I collected a total of 225 pollen slides and 25 pollen trap samples. On land, I collected moss samples, which act as natural pollen traps, to compare with the data I was collecting on board and to give a slightly longer time period of pollen accumulation. I collected 26 moss samples in total. Once the data are counted and collated, they will provide information on how pollen is transported long distances by the wind. When we compare this to pollen we find from the past in sediment records it can help us understand how climate impacts weather patterns in the region, and could help predict the impact of future climate changes too.” #BSW25 #BritishScienceWeek

💪 Did you know? The Royal Navy Musculoskeletal Mitigation Programme is using cutting-edge motion capture tech, plantar pressure analysis, and force plates to create evidence-based strategies for preventing military-specific injuries. This includes research in biomechanics, exercise physiology, health behaviors, psychology, and more! ⚓ New Scientific Support Facilities at key Royal Navy training bases are now screening personnel from day one, with a future hub at the Institute of Naval Medicine to support sailors and Royal Marines throughout their careers. #BSW25 Video Credit: BFBS

In defence of Norway and NATO’s northern flank... This week’s #RoyalNavy news update comes from the Coastal Forces Squadron in the Arctic during a major exercise. We’ve also got headlines on a milestone missile firing and the King’s visit to HMS Prince of Wales. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dUDsDJZg

BZ Mollie 👏👏👏 This is what being a Royal Navy Reservist is all about.

Earlier this week, His Majesty The King visited aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales as the Royal Navy prepares for a major global deployment to the Indo-Pacific this spring. Read more: https://lnkd.in/ddWZ7we2

Personnel from the Royal Naval and Royal Marines Reserve have taken part in the Cold Weather Operators Course in Norway. This challenging exercise includes mobility skills such as the use of skis and snow shoes, and survival and tactical training for fighting in a cold weather environment. We’ve asked one of our female personnel to share her experience and what it is like to be a woman taking part in this arduous course in the High North. . . . - Where are you from and what is your civilian background?
