The civil parish of Brierley contains the large pit village of Grimethorpe, and at the 2001 census had a population of 5,973.
Brierley lies approximately 330 feet (100m) above sea level.
History
Brierley was an early Saxon settlement. The fort at Brierley Gap, mistakenly called Saxon, is from a much earlier period - probably the Iron Age. The village grew first around the hill top on the Barnsley to Pontefract road where a small hollow and the sites of several wells provided a good building area. Along Ket Hill Lane, coal seams come to the surface and form part of the soil so coal must have been known to these early farmers. Sandstone and coal in alternate layers are the underlying rocks of the area.
Jennet Brierley and Ellen Brierley two of the twelve witches tried at Lancaster Assizes in August 1612 for their part in the Pendle Hill witchcraft case

In deze aflevering zoekt hij in Zuid-Afrika naar sporen van de coelacanth, een zeldzame vis waarvan men dacht dat die al duizenden jaren uitgestorven was, maar die voor het eerst in 1938 voor de kust van Zuid-Afrika gevangen werd.
Boudewijn Büch leest het gedicht (over de coelacanth) "Ichthyologie" van Gerrit Achterberg voor, bezoekt in Pretoria het Transvaal Museum, in Pietermaritzburg het Natal Museum en in Grahamstown het J.L.B.

Smiths lecture 2017 - Dr Judy Mann-Lang, SAAMBR
“Communicating about Science and the Environment – from the Smiths to Social Media”
NRF-SAIAB holds the annual Smith Memorial Lecture in memory of Professor JLB Smith and his wife, Margaret Mary Smith, to commemorate their legacy of discovery and research in Ichthyology and related fields.
The 2017 Smith Memorial Lecture was presented by Dr Judy Mann-Lang, Conservation Strategist at the South African Association for Marine Biological Research (SAAMBR). Abstract: ‘Climate change is a myth’, ‘caring for the environment means that animals are more important than people’. Many people are increasingly sceptical about science, especially climate science, while others feel that biodiversity conservation is an indulgence for the rich.

SUMMARY
=======
The South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity (SAIAB), is involved in research, education and in applications of its knowledge and research to African fish fauna, for either economic or conservation benefit.
The institute was formerly named the JLB Smith Institute of Ichthyology, in honour of Professor James Leonard Brierley Smith, who named and described the living coelacanth Latimeria chalumnae.
Situated in Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape, the South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity (SAIAB) is an internationally recognised centre for the study of aquatic biodiversity.
As a National Facility of the NRF, SAIAB serves as a major scientific resource for knowledge and understanding the biodiversity and functioning of globally significant aquatic ecosystems. With both marine and freshwater biogeographical boundaries, southern Africa is ideally placed to monitor and document climate change.
From a marine perspective South Africa forms the southern apex of a major continental mass, flanked by very different marine ecosystems on the east and west coasts, and projecting towards the cold southern Ocean large marine ecosystem. SAIAB's scientific leadership and expertise in freshwater aquatic biodiversity is vital to the national interest when dealing with issues arising from exponentially increasing pressures of human population growth and development.

“Communicating about Science and the Environment – from the Smiths to Social Media”
NRF-SAIAB holds the annual Smith Memorial Lecture in memory of Professor JLB Smith and his wife, Margaret Mary Smith, to commemorate their legacy of discovery and research in Ichthyology and related fields.
The 2017 Smith Memorial Lecture was presented by Dr Judy Mann-Lang, Conservation Strategist at the South African Association for Marine Biological Research (SAAMBR). Abstract: ‘Climate change is a myth’, ‘caring for the environment means that animals are more important than people’. Many people are increasingly sceptical about science, especially climate science, while others feel that biodiversity conservation is an indulgence for the rich. Yet we know that a key challenge facing the environmental movement is the need for changes in the lifestyle of humans, as environmental issues can only be addressed through a shift in individual attitudes and behaviour. Clearly there is room for improvement in our current approaches to communicating about the environment. This presentation will look at how environmental communication has evolved over time and will explore South African’s attitudes to both science and the environment. From rural fishermen to politicians, from preschool kids to grannies, we will then delve into the myriad of communication tools available to address these issues, and look at the effectiveness of some of these tools. Ultimately, if our children are to inherit a healthier planet, we need to do a much better job of communicating why science and the environment matter.

Many people are increasingly sceptical about science, especially climate science, while others feel that biodiversity conservation is an indulgence for the rich. Yet we know that a key challenge facing the environmental movement is the need for changes in the lifestyle of humans, as environmental issues can only be addressed through a shift in individual attitudes and behaviour. Clearly there is room for improvement in our current approaches to communicating about the environment. This presentation will look at how environmental communication has evolved over time and will explore South African’s attitudes to both science and the environment. From rural fishermen to politicians, from preschool kids to grannies, we will then delve into the myriad of communication tools available to address these issues, and look at the effectiveness of some of these tools. Ultimately, if our children are to inherit a healthier planet, we need to do a much better job of communicating why science and the environment matter.
