1. Ocean forcing of ice-sheet change

   The OFIC project studied how ocean heat drove ice loss in rapidly retreating parts of the Antarctic ice sheet.

2. Thermospheric Heating Modes and Effects on Satellites (THeMES)

   Using meteorological statistical techniques, THeMES aimed to improve satellite trajectory predictions and identify which orbital paths face the greatest risk from space weather disturbances.

6. Long-term zooplankton monitoring at South Georgia

   The main deliverable of the Western Core Box (WCB) is a consistent unique time series of mesoscale distribution and abundance of macro-zooplankton and micronekton, and an understanding of the physical environment they are within at South Georgia, South Atlantic (1996 – current).

7. Wildlife from Space

   Many populations of wildlife are remote, inaccessible or difficult to monitor. The advent of sub-metre, Very-High-Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery has enabled us study these animals in a much more efficient way.

10. Using an Antarctic fungus as a wintertime biopesticide

    This project investigated whether Mortierella, a cold-tolerant Antarctic soil fungus, could replace banned chemical pesticides in controlling weevil larvae that damage UK soft fruit and forestry crops.

11. SuperDARN

    The Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) has been operating as an international co-operative organisation for over 25 years, and has proved to be one of the most successful tools for studying dynamical processes in the Earth’s magnetosphere, ionosphere, and neutral atmosphere.

12. Carbon in the twilight zone

    COMICS studied how carbon moves through the ocean’s ‘twilight zone’, the area between 100m and 1000m below the surface. This zone plays a key role in regulating atmospheric CO2 levels.
