The four cross cutting themes (storylines) of OCEAN:ICE are: The ‘Antarctic Bottom Water’ theme, led by Povl Abrahamsen (UKRI-BAS). The ‘Deep Uncertainty in Freshwater Fluxes (DUFF)’ theme, led […]
Mooring deployments. Partner in charge of delivery of the milestone: UKRI-BAS.
Two oceanographic moorings were recovered from Royal Research Ship Sir David Attenborough on 24-25 February 2025. Data have been downloaded from instruments and will be backed up on internal BAS […]
The Transpolar Drift (TPD) plays a crucial role in regulating Arctic climate and ecosystems by transporting fresh water and key substances, such as terrestrial nutrients and pollutants, from the Siberian […]
Antarctica is a very cold, isolated continent surrounded by frozen seas, yet these extreme environmental conditions have not restricted life and diversity in the sea. The marine environment is seasonally […]
Measurements from a robotic underwater vehicle reveal the impacts of meltwater from the giant iceberg A-68A on the properties of the surrounding Southern Ocean. In addition to increasing surface stratification […]
Antarctica has been subject to direct human activity for a little over 200 years. In recent decades, the combination of sharp increases in human activity and regional climate change, particularly […]
Globally, seabirds remove a prey biomass equivalent to commercial fishery landings, suggesting likely competition for resources that will vary spatially and seasonally. Using extensive aerial surveys combined with species-specific energetic […]
Plasma waves in the magnetosphere scatter electrons, causing them to precipitate into Earth’s atmosphere, imparting their temporal characteristics to diffuse auroras. In a case study of conjugate radar and satellite […]
One-third of the world’s ocean surface is located in the Southern Ocean, south of 30°S, encircling the Antarctic continent south of 30°S. The ocean circulation in this vast region has […]
The diverse chapters in this book have each, and collectively, highlighted how Antarctica and the Southern Ocean are key features on Planet Earth, and how they exert a marked influence […]
This chapter examines the historical legacy of human activities in and around Antarctica and assesses pollutants from the mid-late 20th century onwards that will have lasting impacts, potentially thousands of […]
