1. Sea salt aerosols and Arctic climate

   SSAASI-CLIM attempts to determine the salt sea aerosol source, fate and potential impact on Arctic climate associated with blowing snow above sea ice and other sea ice sources.

2. North Sea Methane

   Offshore gas fields worldwide are major sources of methane emissions. Developing reliable methods to locate emissions and pinpoint sources is critical for quantifying the volume of methane emissions from gas fields across the world.

6. Tracing West Antarctica’s ice sheet history

   WAMSISE examined the record of ice sheet evolution on West Antarctic continental margins from middle Miocene to present, clarify the factors controlling the major sedimentary changes, and consider their global implications.

7. ‘Sounds of Space’

   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.

9. Real-time krill data for fisheries

   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).

10. Real Projections

    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.

11. Halley Automation

    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.

12. Bedrock sampling beneath Antarctic ice

    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.
