1. Continuous Plankton Recorder

   Continuous Plankton Recorder collected long-term data on plankton in the Southern Ocean which sit at the base of the food chain and are very sensitive to change.

2. North Atlantic climate system integrated study

   ACSIS focussed on understanding changes occurring across the North Atlantic climate system in the ocean, the atmosphere, the cryosphere and the interactions between these constituent components.

3. The UK Earth System Modelling project (UKESM-BAS)

   UKESM-BAS contributes to the UK Earth System Model by coupling the BISICLES ice sheet model with global climate models to improve sea level rise projections, and by developing satellite-based techniques to assess sea ice predictions.

5. Krill Hotspots

   The aim of this project is to understand the biological and physical factors that produce the very large swarms of krill, or “krill hotspots” that are found in the South Orkneys region.

6. White-chinned Petrel Tracking

   13 satellite tags were attached to white-chinned petrel chicks prior to their departure from Bird Island. The birds were tracked in near real-time using the Argos system.

7. New gravity wave observatories in Antarctica

   ANGWIN brings together different nations to observe gravity waves over Antarctica and understand how these atmospheric waves affect global weather patterns and polar climate processes.

8. How the Earth’s crust influences ice sheets

   GOCE+Antarctica- Dynamic Antarctic Lithosphere uses GOCE satellite gravity gradient data, GPS data and innovative 3D modelling to study the Antarctic lithosphere and its influence on the overlying ice sheets, including the process of glacio-isostatic adjustment (GIA).

10. Microphysics of Antarctic Clouds NE

    This project conducted flights within clouds taking detailed measurements of the physical properties of the cloud – size spectrums and phase (whether the particles are ice or liquid) – as well as taking ground based measurements of the aerosols which will act as nuclei for the cloud particles.
