The British Antarctic Survey and the Cambridge Conservation Initiative (CCI) are convening a series of half day workshops focused on the science-policy interaction within highly topical conservation and management issues.
SSAASI-CLIM attempts to determine the salt sea aerosol source, fate and potential impact on Arctic climate associated with blowing snow above sea ice and other sea ice sources.
ABSCISSA investigated the sources of sea-salt aerosols in polar regions during Arctic and Antarctic winter.
A project using small explosive charges to measure reflected sound waves, researchers aimed to determine the lake’s water depth and characteristics, providing essential data to guide future drilling operations to access unique records of ice sheet history and potential microbial life.
Modernising the UK’s summer-only Antarctic research station
In the SORBS project we are studying how changes in the outer boundary of the geomagnetic field lead to rapid changes in the radiation belts closer to Earth.
Understanding how the external skeleton changes in response to environmental pressures is helping us predict how a major part of the marine ecosystem (molluscs make up 23% of all marine species) will fare under climate change.
Long-term monitoring helps scientists understand how wildlife responds to environmental changes. Skuas are top predators, so their breeding success reflect wider ecosystem conditions.
A BAS science team has returned from Snow Hill emperor penguin colony, where they have conducted survey work, collected guano samples for DNA analysis and deployed the first tracking tags on emperor penguins in the Weddell Sea.
SO-WISE addresses a critical knowledge gap in understanding how warm ocean water reaches and melts the undersides of West Antarctic ice shelves, which is currently the largest source of uncertainty in global sea level rise projections.
Visualise and download topographic, management and scientific data for South Georgia.
The South Georgia Right Whale project is a dedicated population survey of southern right whales, in their feeding grounds off South Georgia, since whaling ceased in the 1970s.
