Heatwaves aren’t just scorching Europe – here’s what extreme temperatures mean for Antarctica.
This week is Net Zero Week, an opportunity for all of us to reflect on what we can do to help mitigate the worst effects of climate change. The work being done at BAS to help pave the road to net zero though continues year-round and there are many exciting initiatives planned and underway to support our net zero targets.
Reaching net zero, as a country or a business, requires new measures, technology and innovations. Digital twins are an example of this; they can be a powerful tool to drive innovation and efficiency.

Britain’s new polar ship, RRS Sir David Attenborough, has reached another exciting milestone, completing its first ever scientific assignment – retrieving a scientific mooring! RRS Sir David Attenborough is currently […]
It can be difficult for anyone to find the right balance between their career and family. For some jobs these challenges reach new levels when the role requires you to work away from home for months at a time. This is most apparent for careers in the Forces or the Merchant Navy, but it is also true for many people who work in jobs that require field work, such as polar science.
Simon Garrod, Director of BAS Operations and Engineering, reflects on Zero Discrimination Day and on the changes regarding inclusion and discrimination that have occurred since he started working in the polar environment nearly thirty years ago.
Today, 11 February, is International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a global initiative led by UNESCO and UN-Women. To celebrate, we have asked some of our female staff […]
