Antarctic Bottom Water in the Orkney Passage
Read more of: Antarctic Bottom Water in the Orkney PassageDynOPO investigated the flow of Antarctic Bottom Water through the Orkney Passage, a submarine valley connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Weddell Sea. The project tested whether winds over the Weddell Sea regulate the volume and temperature of this deep, cold water mass by altering turbulent mixing.

Testing space flight missions at Halley
Read more of: Testing space flight missions at HalleyUsing Antarctica as a ‘platform’ for simulating certain aspects of a manned spaceflight mission, this project will investigate how living in an isolated community during 24-hour winter darkness affects the health of Halley staff and their and ability to perform specific problem-solving functions.

Skeleton structure, size, predation and climate change
Read more of: Skeleton structure, size, predation and climate changeUnderstanding how the external skeleton changes in response to environmental pressures is helping us predict how a major part of the marine ecosystem (molluscs make up 23% of all marine species) will fare under climate change.

Monitoring climate change in action
Read more of: Monitoring climate change in actionSince Near-shore Marine Biology was moved to Rothera in 1997, we have been conducting biological long-term monitoring in both the marine and terrestrial environments. These represent some of the longest continuous datasets in the Southern Ocean.
