It's not just heat that kills during a heatwave, #airpollution can also be a killer. Find out how NERC research helped the UK government improve a nationwide #heatwave warning system socsi.in/wTiHf

The Hot Water on Ice team have collected sediment from their 2nd drill hole! Understanding how 'slippery' the material beneath the #Rutford Ice Stream is will help predict how the region will respond to future #climatechange in #Antarctica #polarscience bas.ac.uk/media-post/sci…

Team #DIAPOD has produced an activity sheet for kids about copepods. It has colouring-in, a maze, and a word puzzle. If you have children to entertain, or even want to try it yourself, you can download it here: bit.ly/CAOactivityshe… Natural Environment Research Council #UKinArctic University of Southampton

"We have been able to show that very cold ocean temperatures to the west of the UK can lead to heatwaves in Europe (including the UK), which is counter-intuitive." Find out how scientists have been conducting experiments in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean socsi.in/MkJsG

Once you have set eyes on the RRS Sir David Attenborough, you won't forget her. From rock drills and marine robots to the intriguingly named moon pool, take a closer look at everything the ship has to offer socsi.in/ZoUYn #Polarship

It's something of a cliche that we know more about the surface of Mars than we do about the bottom of the sea. But slowly, marine geoscientists are filling in the gaps. Find out more socsi.in/IbFUD National Oceanography Centre

Another team from BAS are heading down to #ThwaitesGlacier in West #Antarctica for a season of fieldwork. They'll be hot water drilling to investigate what's happening at point where the ice sits on the bed. Very best of luck Hot Water on Ice
