An international team of scientists is heading to Greenland this summer for a two-month expedition to discover how quickly the ice sheet’s rapidly melting glaciers are pushing the Atlantic Ocean towards a critical climate tipping point.
A new study concludes that warm ocean water was the primary driver of major West Antarctic Ice Sheet retreat since the end of the last ice age 18,000 years ago.
Scientists studying satellite images of Antarctica have stumbled upon a discovery that sheds new light on emperor penguins – and reveals a troubling threat to their survival.
A team of international scientists, including from British Antarctic Survey (BAS), has modelled the best- and worst-case scenarios for the Antarctic Peninsula as the Earth’s climate warms.
A new study published in Science Advances has overturned a common assumption about earthquake prediction: that major earthquakes follow predictable cycles, and that regions can be ‘overdue’ for the next big one.
Researchers from British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and South Korea (KOPRI) have concluded a highly ambitious field operation at Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica.
A team of researchers from the UK and Korea has reached the most inaccessible and least-understood part of Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica where they will drill through the glacier to directly observe how warm ocean water is melting it from below.
An international team of researchers, led by British Antarctic Survey (BAS), is setting out to discover how glacier calving around Antarctica can trigger powerful underwater tsunamis.
Scientists have uncovered how changing ocean currents in South Georgia’s fjords could affect the survival of young mackerel icefish. The species is a key component of the island’s rich marine […]
New research reveals 47% decline in breeding female elephant seals at sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia following a highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreak. Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) […]
A scientist from the British Antarctic Survey has contributed to a major new international publication, coordinated by the UK National Commission for UNESCO, which highlights the accelerating decline of glaciers […]
New advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are transforming the way scientists explore and understand some of the most remote parts of the ocean around Antarctica and the strange creatures that live there.
