Geopolitics grows more unstable, and interest in Earth’s polar regions is growing. The collaborative spirit and achievements of polar science are growing all the more important.In this edition of Beyond the Ice, Oliver Darke, Director of Operations, Engineering and Infrastructure at British Antarctic Survey, talks about what international collaboration in Antarctica looks like on the ground - and how this fits into today’s diplomatic global context. In Antarctica, the continent has been governed internationally and cooperatively through the Antarctic Treaty since 1959 – an agreement which suspends territorial claims and preserves Antarctica for peace and science. How does this unique context create opportunity for international partnerships?--Beyond the Ice helps you unpack the latest news in climate science with the experts at British Antarctic Survey. Our planet is changing at a rate and scale unlike anything seen in human history - and Earth's frozen places are the front line. After all, what happens in Antarctica doesn’t stay in Antarctica.Beyond the Ice is also available as a LinkedIn Newsletter.
