BAS Science Summaries 2025-26
This booklet presents an overview of the field, station, and ship-based science projects that the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is supporting during the 2025-26 Antarctic field season. Once again, our teams will be delivering ambitious and world-leading research across Antarctica, tackling questions of vital importance to society and the planet.
This work sits at the heart of our new BAS science strategy, Polar Science for a Sustainable Planet. From investigating the role of the Polar Regions in regulating global climate, to monitoring biodiversity and long-term environmental change, BAS provides the expertise and infrastructure that enable complex science in one of the harshest environments on Earth. Many of these projects will inform policymakers and are of the highest societal relevance.
