Caring for the Oceans

With so many technical issues being faced by society we believe that our communities will make better decisions if they have a deeper understanding of the underlying science and technology. We aim to make people aware of how the STEM subjects (science, technology engineering and maths) play a part in what we take for granted in everyday life.Sidmouth Science Festival started in 2012 with a weekend of science events in Sidmouth and at the nearby Norman Lockyer Observatory as well as a single day in local schools and art in the local gallery.Since then it has grown to a 10 day event with over 120 activities: visitor numbers have increased, visitors have been drawn from a larger area including overseas and more schools have been involved with hundreds of East Devon students taking part. Key speakers over the years have included Professor Iain Stewart, Professor Monica Grady. Professor Edzard Ernst, Professor Bill McGuire and Adam Hart Davis as well as Dr Adam Rutherford.

Sidmouth Science Festival

Caring for the Ocean: looking at changing ocean dynamics including temperature, acidity, salinity, sea levels and ice melt.
The talk will explore the role of the ocean in our changing climate and how human-induced global warming is affecting the ocean. It will also consider how changes in the ocean, such as sea level rise, will affect us and the Earth. This will then be related to the biblical metanarrative ("big story") and the question of what a Christian response might be to the issues raised by our scientific understanding of the changes that humans are causing to the planet.
 
Organised by 'Scientists in Congregations'.
