1. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

10. How melt ponds weaken the ice shelf

    MIDAS investigates how climate warming affects the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica. The project studies the formation of large summer melt ponds and their influence on ice shelf structure and stability. Fieldwork, satellite observation, and computer simulations are used to understand these processes.
