Animation as a tool for science communicationBioFresh is a multi-partner European Union Framework Programme 7 (FP7) project that aims to build a global information platform for scientists and ecosystem managers with access to all available databases describing the distribution, status and trends of global freshwater biodiversity.
The project is coordinated by Klement Tockner, head of the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries. Dr Paul Jepson, Course Director of the School’s MSc in Nature, Society and Environmental Policy and Senior Research Fellow in Conservation Practice at the ECI, is leading the project’s communication and dissemination strategy. Rob St John, who recently graduated from the School’s MSc in Biodiversity, Conservation and Management, has been appointed to take forward an innovative and experimental outreach component that blends concepts from the policy network literature with concepts and emerging trends in science communication. Following the success of the BioFresh blog and Cabinet of Freshwater Curiosities, their most recent communication effort has been a four-minute animation introducing the status of freshwater ecosystems and their threats.
Animation offers numerous possibilities for communicating scientific information in a clear, concise and engaging manner. A key aim of the BioFresh project is to raise policy, public and media awareness of the importance of freshwater systems. The animation achieves this by providing an easily digested and engaging overview of the key issues, whilst also contributing to the current debates on how science should be communicated. The animation was created by Adam Arnot Durrant who graduated
from the Oxford Brooke’s BSc in Media Technology last year.
Debates about science communication are evolving rapidly, with a move from a knowledge deficit model of communication to one which encourages dialogue between scientific, public and policy communities. There is an increased focus on using
new technologies to encourage this dialogue and engagement. Moreover as Rob St John notes, “Scientists are starting to forge partnerships with the creative arts to find new ways of science communication. The Environmental Change Institute has been at the forefront of this and we are taking up and extending this theme. By experimenting with creative ideas such as the animation in this constantly evolving field, we hope to not only raise awareness of freshwater ecosystem issues and the BioFresh project, but also to contribute new perspectives to the current debate on how science should be communicated.”
The ECI is working with Tipping Point, has worked with Oxford-based Red Redemption to produce the BBC-sponsored computer ‘Climate Challenge’, and was involved in bring the Ghost Forest exhibit to the Oxford Natural History Museum. Students on the School’s four MSc programme are also deeply involved in these initiatives - recent MSc in Environmental
Change and Management alumna, Hanna Roberts, is a co-founder of Red Redemption and Bryony Tar is current studying public engagement with the Ghost Forest exhibit. Rob and Paul would welcome any feedback, comments or ideas on this work. They can be contacted through [email protected]

Professor Robert Whittaker completes term as President of the International Biogeography Society
Professor Robert Whittaker, Professor of Biogeography, has just completed a two-year term as President of the International Biogeography Society.
In this capacity he participated in the fifth biennial conference of the Society in Irakleion, Crete, over the 7th -11th of January 2011, where he also ran a half day workshop on scientific paper writing and review. Together with his colleagues he also contributed four posters and an oral presentation to the meeting.
The International Biogeography Society (IBS) was founded as a non-profit organization in 2000. Its mission is to foster communication and collaboration between biogeographers in disparate academic fields; to increase both the awareness and interests of the scientific community and the lay public in the contributions of biogeographers; and to promote the training and education of biogeographers so that they may develop sound strategies for studying and conserving the world’s biota.

Knowledges, Resources and Legal Regimes: The New Geopolitics of the Polar Regions
Dr Richard Powell, University Lecturer in Human Geography, together with Professor Klaus Dodds, Royal Holloway, organized and hosted the third event of their ESRC Seminar Series, ‘Knowledges, Resources and Legal Regimes: The New Geopolitics of the Polar Regions’ (RES-451-26-0661) at the British Library, London on the 15th of February 2011.
This workshop was entitled ‘UNCLOS and the Antarctic Treaty: competing models of
Polar governance?’ and resulted in a vibrant discussion. Like previous events in the series, the workshop was very well attended, with an engaged, interdisplicinary audience ranging across universities, think tanks, government departments, foreign embassies, and industry. The next event will be held at the Foresight Centre, Liverpool on the 12th of May 2011, and will focus upon ‘Subsidiarity, Indigenous self-determination and other peoples of the Polar Regions’.
Professor Diana Liverman awarded Distinguished Scholarship Honors by the AAG
Professor Diana Liverman, Visiting Professor in Environmental Policy and Development at the School, will be awarded AAG Distinguished Scholarship Honors by the Association of American Geographers at their 2011 Annual Meeting in Seattle in April.
The award is in recognition of her research across climate science, political ecology, and Latin American studies. She recently delivered the 2011 Gilbert F.
White Lecture in the Geographical Sciences, ‘Geography and Global Environmental Change: Climate Risks and the Challenge of Development’, at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., on the 10th of February. The Gilbert F. White lecture series focuses on connections between the geographical sciences and society.
Professor Liverman was also recognised by her local community with a ‘local genius’ award from the Tucson Museum of Contemporary Art. Previous awardees include celebrity chef, Janos Wilder, writer Leslie Marmon Silko, and local Tucson band, Calexico.
Professor Liverman is currently Professor of Geography and Development and co-director for the Institute of the Environment at the University of Arizona. She will become a Regents Professor at the University of Arizona in July.
‘crowd’ sourcing and commercial platforms like Google maps. These are being deployed to, among other things, improve the efficiency of existing citizen science initiatives (e.g. the BTO’s Atlas and BirdTrack) capture unused datasets (e.g. BirdGuides which captures casual birdwatcher’s observations), provide citizen data interfaces with simple analytical tools (e.g. Observado.org), enrol citizens in refining and extending databases (e.g. Protectedplanet.net), capture and classify data ‘emitted’ by animals (e.g. iBat), and deal with ‘data bonanzas’ such as those created by automated astronomical telescopes (e.g. Zooniverse). A full account of the event and presentations is available on the symposium website.
Reflecting on the symposium Dr Paul Jepson notes, “The fact that an increasing number of people are walking around with geo-located devices in their pockets presents an intriguing and
exciting opportunity for Geographers. The main outcome of this symposium was the desire for follow-up meetings to give form and focus to this emerging area of research and practice within eco-informatics, e-science and citizen-cyber-science. It has the potential to integrate expertise in the School and beyond in relation to conservation biogeography, actor-networks and technological zones.”
The 90 year relationship between conservation scientists and citizen observers has improved understandings of natural systems, guided policy, and enriched and extended public engagement with nature.
The Mobile Computing, Citizen Science and Conservation Recording symposium recently convened by Dr Paul Jepson, Course Director of the School’s MSc in Nature, Society and Environmental Policy and Senior Research Fellow in Conservation Practice at the ECI, in conjunction with the Biodiversity Institute and the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO), provided an opportunity to place citizen conservation science in the fast developing and hugely exciting arena of what has recently been dubbed ‘citizen cyber science’. This captures the expanding digital architecture of networked PCs, web-platforms, mobile devices and digital apps; as well as the new scientific practices and modes of citizen engagement that these technologies are enabling and inspiring.
At the symposium, held on the 13th of January at Merton College, Oxford, a range of speakers from academia, non-governmental organisations and commercial enterprises presented a range of novel projects that illustrate future directions and opportunities. Many of these are adopting and adapting web-based practices such as

Outreach work aimed at state schoolsThe School is currently involved in a number of outreach activities aimed at increasing applications from state schools.
In July last year it ran a very successful Geography Summer School as part of the University’s UNIQ summer school programme which gives very able students from state schools the chance to experience what life is like
studying at Oxford. The 2011 summer school will be held from 24th-29th of July.
The department welcomes visits from schools which do not have a tradition of sending candidates to Oxford. In January a group of Year 12 students from the City of London Academy – Islington spent the day in Oxford attending lectures and meeting current students. Links with local schools are currently being developed through Oxford Hub, an organisation which coordinates voluntary work done by undergraduates.
The School also holds an annual Department Open Day with events and information provided for prospective undergraduate students. This year’s will be held on Friday the 13th of May 2011, and more information on this is available on our website. The School will also participate in the wider University of Oxford’s Open Days on the 6th-7th of July and the 16th of September in 2011.
A collaborative research article between Dr Emmanuel Morgan Attua and Dr Josh Fisher entitled ‘Historical and future land-cover change in a municipality of Ghana’ has been published in Earth Interactions.
Dr Attua, head of the Department of Geography and Resource Development at the University of Ghana, visited the School in 2009 on a Commonwealth Fellowship. Dr Fisher recently left the School’s Environmental Change Institute to take up a position in the Water and Carbon Cycles Group at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California Institute of Technology (CalTech).
