Gentoo Penguin Tracking
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.

Grey-headed Albatross Juvenile Tracking
Read more of: Grey-headed Albatross Juvenile TrackingThis 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.

Stability and Instability – Records of External Drivers and Resulting Behaviour of Thwaites Glacier
Read more of: Stability and Instability – Records of External Drivers and Resulting Behaviour of Thwaites GlacierTHOR 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.

Geophysical Habitat of Subglacial Thwaites
Read more of: Geophysical Habitat of Subglacial ThwaitesGHOST 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.

Melting at Thwaites Grounding Zone and its Control on Sea Level
Read more of: Melting at Thwaites Grounding Zone and its Control on Sea LevelMELT 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).

Geological History Constraints on the Magnitude of Grounding Line Retreat in the Thwaites Glacier System
Read more of: Geological History Constraints on the Magnitude of Grounding Line Retreat in the Thwaites Glacier SystemGHC 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.

Penguin foraging in a warming ocean
Read more of: Penguin foraging in a warming oceanThe aim of this project is to learn more about the feeding habits of penguins around the Antarctic Peninsula to understand how their behaviour may be changing as the waters around the Peninsula warm.

The Last Interglacial
Read more of: The Last InterglacialThe Last Interglacial was a period of the Earth’s geological history (between 130 000 and 115 000 years BP) characterized by a climate warmer than today, with a higher global […]

Protecting Marine Ecosystems in the South Atlantic
Read more of: Protecting Marine Ecosystems in the South AtlanticThis three-year project aims to leave a legacy of robust information about the marine ecosystem as well as oceanographic and food web modelling that will provide the scientific information necessary to develop policies to manage marine ecosystem resources, especially those relating to food security and eco-tourism.
