This exhibition also offers insight into the development of British art including works by the most important artists to have worked in Britain, from Sir Peter Lely and Sir Godfrey Kneller to Cecil Beaton and Annie Leibovitz. 2 UK WORLDWIDE 1485 Henry Tudor defeats Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field, becoming King Henry VII The Tudors and founding the Tudor dynasty 1492 An expedition led by Italian explorer Christopher Columbus encounters the Americas 1509 while searching for a Western passage to Asia Henry VII dies and is succeeded Introduction by King Henry VIII 1510 The Inca abandon the settlement of Machu Picchu in modern day Peru Between 1485 and 1603, England was ruled by 1517 Martin Luther nails his 95 theses to the five Tudor monarchs.

  • Bertarelli Programme in Marine Science Coral Reef Expedition to the British Indian Ocean Territory, April 2019
    Bertarelli Programme in Marine Science Coral Reef Expedition to the British Indian Ocean Territory, April 2019 Figure 1: Early signs of coral reef recovery in BIOT, Takamaka, Salomon 1 | P a g e Executive Summary The Bertarelli Programme in Marine Science Coral Reef Expedition to the British Indian Ocean Territory on Coral Reef Condition took place in April 2019, and involved Bangor University, Oxford University, University College of London, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, USA. The team joined the British Patrol Vessel Grampian Frontier in Male, Maldives on 6th April and travelled south, arriving Diego Garcia on 27th April 2019. Exceptionally calm seas were experienced until 17th April, and then rough conditions which progressively worsened until 27th April. Thirteen experienced scientific divers including a Medical Officer conducted a total of 113 dives, equating to 301 person dives and 318 hours underwater over the period. The team undertook 7 scientific tasks to investigate the current condition of the coral reefs at 34 sites across the archipelago as follows: Tasks 1 & 2: Coral condition, cover, juveniles, and water temperatures (C. Sheppard, A. Sheppard). Task 3: Extend video archive for long term assessment of coral reef benthic community structure (J. Turner, R. Roche, J. Sannassy Pilly). Task 4: Three-dimensional determination of reef structural complexity and spatial analysis of coral recruitment (D. Bayley, A. Mogg). Tasks 5 & 6: Spatiotemporal variations in internal wave driven upwelling and resilience potential across the Chagos Archipelago (G. Williams, M. Fox, A. Heenan, R. Roche) Task 7: Coral reef recovery and resilience (B. Wilson and A. Rose). The coral reefs of the Archipelago are still in an erosional state with very low coral cover 3 years after the back to back bleaching events of 2015/2016.
