Showing results for "Infrastructure" in Science

A new regular podcast series which features conversations with some of the key leaders and influencers from across UK infrastructure sector.

UK marine research is at a special moment in time. We have a window of opportunity to persuade the government of the benefits that come from understanding the ocean, and of the importance of investing in the infrastructure we rely on to carry out our vital work - that's ships, buoys, satellites, autonomous vehicles, and more. The Future Marine Research Infrastructure (FMRI) programme is trying to secure that funding, ensuring we can plan and carry out critical ocean research for the next 20 - 30 years. But, what actually is FMRI? How does it work? And why do we all need to get involved in ...

Covering the latest developments in urban sustainability, smart local energy systems, and cutting-edge infrastructure technology. Hosted by Damian Bell and featuring experts from Amey – one of the UK’s leading providers of full life-cycle engineering, operations and decarbonisation solutions for infrastructure. Sustainable Infrastructure explores the innovation reshaping UK infrastructure and driving energy transition forward. How can smart local energy systems (SLES) accelerate decarbonisation? What role will data, AI, and digital twins play in the future of renewable energy...

A system can describe what we see (the solar system), operate a computer (Windows 10), or be made on a page (the 14 engineered lines of a sonnet). In this book, Clifford Siskin shows that system is best understood as a genre - a form that works physically in the world to mediate our efforts to understand it. Indeed, many Enlightenment authors published works they called "system" to compete with the essay and the treatise.

Understand more about the interaction between the natural and built environments, and what impact we are currently having on what can be sometimes opposing environments. Pete and the team at Wharton Natural Infrastructure Consultants will be speaking with architects, masterplanners, planning consultants, landscape architects, developers and land managers about how they reach a balance between land use and the natural environment. We will also explore what people think is important when considering developable areas and how, through good design and collaboration we can create better place and ...

We all have experienced natural hazards in our lives: earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunami, floods: they impact our society at the most fundamental levels. Through rigorous testing and outreach programs, the team at the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure is committed to making sure the next natural hazard doesn't have to be a disaster for you and your family.
