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 ...

Il comportamento dissennato degli umani ha portato alla loro autodistruzione. Ma il pianeta e le altre creature viventi sembrano vivere un periodo rigoglioso.

Questo racconto ci conduce in un percorso che apre quegli orizzonti e quelle sensibilità che solo se si praticheranno potranno condurci a ripensare ai nostri egoistici stili di vita. Pena la nostra stessa fine.
