2. How the Earth’s crust influences ice sheets

   GOCE+Antarctica- Dynamic Antarctic Lithosphere uses GOCE satellite gravity gradient data, GPS data and innovative 3D modelling to study the Antarctic lithosphere and its influence on the overlying ice sheets, including the process of glacio-isostatic adjustment (GIA).

4. Microphysics of Antarctic Clouds NE

   This project conducted flights within clouds taking detailed measurements of the physical properties of the cloud – size spectrums and phase (whether the particles are ice or liquid) – as well as taking ground based measurements of the aerosols which will act as nuclei for the cloud particles.

8. Antarctic Bottom Water in the Orkney Passage

   DynOPO investigated the flow of Antarctic Bottom Water through the Orkney Passage, a submarine valley connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Weddell Sea. The project tested whether winds over the Weddell Sea regulate the volume and temperature of this deep, cold water mass by altering turbulent mixing.

10. Halley Research Station relocation

    In 2017 Antarctica’s first re-locatable research station was moved successfully 23 km inland to avoid the path of large cracks in the ice

11. Testing space flight missions at Halley

    Using Antarctica as a ‘platform’ for simulating certain aspects of a manned spaceflight mission, this project will investigate how living in an isolated community during 24-hour winter darkness affects the health of Halley staff and their and ability to perform specific problem-solving functions.
