Colin PeltonDecember Storms
"Over the past 5 years I have been fascinated by the changing seascapes across Christchurch Bay, viewed from Friars Cliff Beach in Dorset. In this trio of small oil paintings I've captured examples of winter storms. If the increase in storminess since the 1990s has been confined to the winter season, as research suggests, then December has proved a successful month for observing some spectacular weather around the UK coastline."

Vanessa MaduThe Making of a Modeller
"Good Modelling is a Science, the best modelling is an art; how do we equip ocean scientists of the future with the scientific skills to understand our ocean and the creative instincts to model it? For me, it was through the freedom to build, play, and explore mathematical concepts and now I get to use those same concepts to create things much larger than I had ever imagined."
