• Imagining the future of UK ocean research
    May 14 2025

    Rapid changes in technology mean that the way we do oceans research is always developing, whether that's using gliders to collect data or just being able to answer emails while on an expedition. But how can we ensure these changes make efficient use of our time, technology, and international collaborators?Join ocean scientist and broadcaster Dr Helen Czerski as she sits down with:

    • Leigh Storey, the senior responsible owner for FMRI
    • Professor Kate Hendry, British Antarctic Survey
    • Professor Yueng-Djern Lenn, Bangor University

    Together, they discuss the results of the  net zero oceanographic capability project and imagine the future of oceans research.

  • How do we design for the future?
    May 7 2025

    FMRI is a big project with lots of big ideas on the table, so what actually has to happen to make them a reality? What's the current status of our marine research infrastructure, and how can we think about trade-offs when designing technology for the future?

    Join ocean scientist and broadcaster Dr Helen Czerski as she sits down with:

    • Leigh Storey, the senior responsible owner for FMRI
    • Sophie Fielding, Zooplankton ecologist from the British Antarctic Survey
    • Maaten Furlong, Associate Director of the National Marine Facilities at the National Oceanography Centre

    Together, they dig into the practicalities of securing funding for the next few decades of ocean research, and discuss whether there really is a battle between ships and autonomous vehicles.

  • What is FMRI and why does it matter?
    Apr 30 2025

    So what actually is FMRI, why does it matter now, and how can a very diverse community work together to create and then get behind a single vision?

    Join ocean scientist and broadcaster Dr Helen Czerski as she sits down with:

    • Leigh Storey, the senior responsible owner for FMRI
    • Professor Sir Ian Boyd, polar scientist and former Chief Scientific Advisor for DEFRA and member of the FMRI board
    • Professor Catherine Heymans, Astronomer Royal for Scotland

    Together, they lay out the landscape for the FMRI project, discuss the big picture opportunities and challenges, and try to understand what ocean researchers could learn from how the space sciences achieve similar large funding goals.
