Bedmap2 is a suite of gridded products describing surface elevation, ice-thickness and the sea floor and subglacial bed elevation of the Antarctic.
The project has focused on exploiting information present in hyperspectral images, with a view to developing mapping tools to aid in the geological investigations.
Ozone Hole The discovery of the Antarctic Ozone Hole is one of the most important scientific papers of recent decades. The discovery, in 1985, by British Antarctic Survey scientists Joe […]
Genetic antifreeze When many insects get cold they produce a special sugar that stops their cells from freezing and keeps them working at low temperatures. In any biochemical process there […]
Electron precipitation Space weather events involve large explosions on the Sun, called coronal mass ejections, which create geomagnetic storms. These storms are fierce enough to tear open the magnetic field […]
Radio echo A perspective view of the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains, imaged using airborne ice-penetrating radar to look through the overlying ice sheet. The rugged subglacial topography holds a record of […]
Sea ice An optical satellite image of sea ice in the marginal ice zone in the northern Weddell Sea. The image is approximately 100km across and shows swirling sea-ice patterns, […]
Echo sounder The bathymetry of the sea floor north-east of the volcanic Saunders Island in the South Sandwich Archipelago. Deeply-eroded canyons funnel sediment down the submarine slope of the volcano […]
Bedmap Himalayas measures how much water is stored as glacier ice in High Mountain Asia by mapping ice thickness using radar.
One of the longest‑running ocean monitoring programmes in the Southern Ocean.
This research project explored using remote sensing to locate rare earth element deposits.
A project to compile over 50 years of geological field data into new geological maps has already seen the publication of six new sheets.
