There is growing interest in deep-sea mining - the process of extracting mineral resources from the seabed in areas of the deep ocean. Research suggests deep-sea mining could severely harm marine biodiversity and ecosystems, but there is still much that we don’t know about the specific impacts on deep-sea biodiversity. In this event, we'll hear about work being done in this area through the iAtlantic project. The iAtlantic project is undertaking detailed research into the potential effects of deep-sea mining on ecosystems both in the water column and at the seafloor, using experimental approaches to determine organisms’ response to mining impacts such as increased sediment particles in seawater and metal toxicity. As climate change is a significant factor in today’s changing ocean, their research also takes into account the synergistic and potentially cumulative effects of a warming ocean on ecosystems coming under stress from mining activities. This session will take a look at the latest research results and their implications for the development of policies to regulate deep-sea mining activities. A Q&A session with the audience will follow the speakers' presentations.

40% of Higher Education (HE) students in the UK are commuter students: students who continue to live at home while studying, rather than moving into student accommodation. However, commuter students remain largely invisible, in HE pedagogy, policy and processes. HEI operations, including assessments, extra-curricular activities, facilities, learning support, pedagogy and timetabling, continue to be structured around and provided on the assumption that students live on or near to campus. There is growing evidence to suggest that these are neither accessible nor suitable for students who need to travel to access their learning, support, resources and academic community, because they are provided at a time and in a place that assumes that students live on or near to campus. The presentation presents the case for adapting pedagogy, policy and processes to better meet the needs of commuter students. It is argued that this can be achieved without disadvantaging residential students. The presentation draws upon ongoing research at Canterbury Christ Church University, which has revealed the true extent of commuting, considering its causes and consequences for the individual and the environment. The presentation will present the case for greater attention to commuter students and hopes to inspire discussion regarding wider institutional changes that may be necessary as we acknowledge the decline of the residential model in the widening participation era.
