Ice core scientists from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) are joint winners of a major European science prize. The European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica (EPICA) – which retrieved two […]
Radio waves accelerate electrons within Jupiter’s magnetic field in the same way as they do on Earth, according to new research published in Nature Physics this week. The discovery overturns a […]
Scientists have discovered an Antarctic fish species that adopts a winter survival strategy similar to hibernation. Reporting this week in the journal PLoS ONE, the online journal from the Public […]
Boulders the size of footballs could help scientists predict the West Antarctic Ice Sheet’s (WAIS) contribution to sea-level rise according to new research published this week in the journal Geology. […]
Scientists have discovered Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) living and feeding down to depths of 3000 metres in the waters around the Antarctic Peninsula. Until now this shrimp-like crustacean was thought […]
British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has signed a licensing deal with the Cambridge-based eXtreme Instrumentation Limited (Xi). The deal allows Xi to make and sell two innovative devices developed by scientists […]
The onboard activities of the BAS ship RRS James Clark Ross, currently on a science cruise in the Southern Ocean, are documented in a blog by Portuguese scientist, Jose Xavier. […]
Join scientists from British Antarctic Survey as they take you on a journey to Antarctica. As part of this year’s Cambridge Science Festival, BAS will host two evening talks at […]
More evidence of changing weather patterns around the Antarctic Peninsula – a region where climate has changed rapidly over the last 50 years – is published this month in Geophysical […]
The first evidence of a volcanic eruption from beneath Antarctica’s most rapidly changing ice sheet is reported this week in the journal Nature Geosciences. The volcano on the West […]
A four-man science team led by British Antarctic Survey’s (BAS) Dr Andy Smith has begun exploring an ancient lake hidden deep beneath Antarctica’s ice sheet. The lake – the size […]
