Adam is the Halley Station Leader. He spends a few months at Halley each austral summer, holding overall responsibility for all station operations. For the remainder of the year he is based at BAS in Cambridge, planning ahead for the next operational season in Antarctica.

He is also the Project Manager for the Halley relocation, an ambitious project to move all of the station infrastructure to a new location on the Brunt Ice Shelf, and a BAS Innovations Champion, promoting new initiatives within the organisation.

Adam has been with BAS since 2011, when he joined as a Wintering Communications Manager, managing and maintaining the station’s communications infrastructure. Since then he has worked for two seasons as Station Leader at Bird Island (South Georgia), with a short spell as Station Leader of the NERC UK Research Station at Ny-Alesund in the Norwegian Arctic.
