1. How sea ice and snow regulate climate

   CRiceS investigates the rapid decline of sea ice and its links to physical and chemical changes in polar oceans and the atmosphere.

2. Wildfire

   Wildfires are unplanned and uncontrolled combustion of vegetated areas which can damage property and human life, and may have negative effects on the ecosystems where they occur. Predicting wildfires is […]

3. Sea Ice

   Sea ice forms when the ocean freezes, forming a dynamic and seasonally variable layer of ice. This floating ice has a profound influence on the polar environment, influencing ocean circulation, […]

9. PolarDT – Digital Twins of the Polar Regions

   This project is developing digital twins of Antarctic and Arctic environments and resources. A digital twin makes it possible to test “what if” questions far more quickly than traditional computer models.

10. Sat Risk

    The Sat-Risk project, led by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), has the goal of ‘developing a real-time system to forecast radiation exposure to satellites for a range of different orbits, and quantify the risk of damage or degradation‘.

11. Tracking Antarctica’s Ice Fluctuations

    The recent extreme swings in Antarctic sea ice extent emphasise the need to increase our knowledge of the drivers and climate implications of Antarctic sea ice loss.

12. Biogeochemical processes in polar ecosystems

    BIOPOLE studies how climate change is affecting the release of nutrients from the polar regions, and their redistribution around the world’s oceans.
