As the climate warms, changes in snowmelt, glacier retreat and water availability can cause untold hardship for Himalayan communities, including increased flooding risk. Understanding and modelling these changes can help avoid potential disasters,
University Hospitals Trust Plymouth have been re-awarded a contract to provide medical support to the British Antarctic Survey for the next four years.
A highly sensitive radar system to measure how quickly ice shelves melt – a vital window into how our polar regions are responding to climate change
A natural threat most of us never think about: solar storms. These bursts of energy from the Sun can damage satellites, block signals and disrupt services we rely on every day.
Demographic assessments are essential for effective biological conservation management, allowing early detection of population declines and timely allocation of resources to avoid possible crises. For species with slow life-history strategies […]
Less ice doesn’t mean less danger. It means less predictability. Icebergs drift into open water, floes move more quickly and conditions can switch in minutes.
Bycatch in fisheries is a major threat to seabird populations worldwide, including in the eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO). Pelagic longline fisheries targeting tuna and swordfish globally account for tens of […]
from ice to… is a series of impact assessments showcasing how BAS addresses big issues and informs policy makers, through science knowledge, technologies and innovation
Since the early to mid-20th century, shipboard marine ecological time series (METS), or sustained repeat measurements of physical, biogeochemical, and biological processes, have documented changes in ocean biogeochemistry and marine […]
Peatlands are important global carbon sinks but face increasing fire vulnerability under projected warmer and CO2-rich climate conditions. Past high-CO2 periods in Earth’s history serve as an important prospect to […]
Glaciers in Antarctica’s Amundsen Sea sector are retreating and thinning due to warm ocean inflow beneath ice shelves that buttress (restrain) glacier flow, but their future trajectory and implications for […]
Cetacean strandings provide early warning of emerging concerns regarding animal, ocean, and human health and allow insights into local cetacean population, density, distribution and mortality, and thus offer significant conservation […]
