Sounds of Space uses a Very Low Frequency receiver to pick up radio waves made by our planet and investigate the science of space weather storms, to help understand potential space weather impacts on the climate system, and for lightning detection.
Joule Heating investigated how space weather affects the upper atmosphere’s ability to slow down orbiting satellite debris.
This project aims to develop a system to deliver acoustically derived estimates of krill density in (near) real-time from krill fishing vessels to fishery data users and managers (e.g. commercial managers, scientific researchers and/or policy managers).
Real Projections focused on understanding the processes driving sea ice variability and change, combining observational data with climate model outputs to produce more robust projections of future Antarctic sea ice area under different greenhouse gas emission scenarios.
This innovative, multi-year, project created a suite of autonomous scientific instrumentation around Halley Research Station, enabling data collection even when the station may be unoccupied.
In this project samples of bedrock were analysed to determine how long they have been shielded from the sun, and that could tell us how long ago the ice sheet formed, even if the first ice has long gone.
This project tracked 16 gentoo penguins using satellite transmitters to examine overlaps in the distribution of penguin foraging and krill catches, and the dependence of penguins on krill for food during winter.
This project maps the movements and foraging areas of juvenile albatross in order to determine the overlap with fisheries, and assesses the survival rate of juveniles in the initial weeks and months after they fledge.
THOR examined sedimentary record both offshore from the glacier and beneath the ice shelf, together with glacial landforms on the sea bed, to reconstruct past changes in ocean conditions and the glaciers response to these changes.
GHOST is an ice-based project which will examine the bed beneath the Thwaites Glacier, to assess whether conditions are likely to allow rapid retreat, or if the retreat may slow or stop due to a ridge 70 km inland.
MELT is an ice-based project that will use autonomous sensors to monitor the ice column and ocean beneath the ice shelf in the critical area of the grounding line (the point where the glacier goes afloat to become ice shelf).
GHC will gather information about past ice sheet behaviour and relative sea level change in the Thwaites Glacier system. Determining the timing and magniture of past episodes of thinning and retreat and subsequent re-advance is important to provide a context for the current and future behaviour of Thwaites Glacier.
