The Chemistry Map of Scotland

The Chemistry Map of Scotland was built for the Royal Society of Chemistry as part of their International Year of Chemistry celebration (2011). It was presented at the Science and the Parliament meeting in Edinburgh on Wednesday 9 November 2011 (our p revious blog post).

The purpose of the site is to encourage school children to explore the chemistry by looking at how it impacts their local area. I had thought it would be mostly a historic project, but the children's submissions show that it is anything but - they see chemistry as very much a part of a living and working landscape; the local galvanising works, offshore wind-farms and whiskey distilleries are at least as important as the work of Joseph Black (1728 - 1799)!

Scapa Flow Marine Archaeological Project

ScapaMAP - the Scapa Flow Marine Archaeological Project: is a multi-disciplinary, multi-institution, international project involving government agencies, industry and the academic community, designed to document a unique marine archeological area in the waters of Scapa Flow in the Orkney Islands of Scotland.

The site includes a 3D map and high resolution wreck survey images, which are all freely downloadable.

Big Anchor Project database

The Big Anchor Project provides a simple way to record old anchors, and make these heritage items a public and academic asset and an opportunity to learn more about their place in our maritime history.

Our role was to build the database and its public interface, which we integrated into an existing site design by Enterprise Marketing.

Nautical Archaeology Society

The Nautical Archaeology Society is the lead charity for underwater archaeology and ethnographic study in the UK, and is well regarded internationally. The website communicates with a widespread membership - offering online access to their journal, newsletter (avoiding printing and postage costs has allowed the society to reduce the cost of membership and turn a profit on the Newsletter for the first time).

The site was designed in 2005, and included a custom news database and members only section. Since then we have added a number of features, including a wrecks database and members contributory wiki and announcements system.

This was an early site to adopt the RSS newsfeed system for keeping visitors up-to-date.

MCS: Lancashire area group

The Marine Conservation Society: Lancashire area group website. For anyone with a love of the sea, the MCS is part pressure group, part meeting ground for interested people. While the UK's seas cover an area three times that of the land, and host half of our national bio-diversity, very little of it is protected in any way...
