Fellows and Researchers

British Antarctic Survey (BAS) works with scientists from around the world through our fellowship schemes.

These partnerships advance polar science and help us better understand our changing planet.

Honorary Fellows

Honorary Fellows are leading scientists who have made significant contributions to polar research. They work closely with BAS to advance our understanding of the polar regions.

These researchers bring world-class expertise to BAS. They collaborate on groundbreaking projects, publish important research, and help us answer big questions about climate, ice, oceans and polar ecosystems.

Current Honorary Fellows include:

• Dr Jose Carlos Caetano Xavier
• Professor Alberto Naveira Garabato
• Dr Vanessa Bowman
• Dr Edward Oughton
• Dr Elizabeth Harper
• Dr Joseph Hoffman
• Dr Emily Shuckburgh
• Professor Klaus Dodds
• Professor Anna Hogg
• Dr Jonathan Kingslake
• Malcolm Woodward

Emeritus Fellows

Emeritus Fellows are former BAS scientists who continue to contribute to polar science. Their years of experience and deep knowledge strengthen our research.

These scientists keep working on important questions after their BAS careers. They mentor younger researchers, publish papers, give talks, and stay active in the polar science community.

Current Emeritus Fellows include:

• Paul Rodhouse

• Phil Leat

• Andy Clarke

• Jonathan Shanklin

• Michael Pinnock

• Dougal Goodman

• Sandra McInnes

• Phil Trathan

• Eugene Murphy

• Fausto Ferraccioli

• John King

• Andy Wood

• David Pearce

• Eric Wolff

Honorary Researchers

Honorary Researchers are scientists at other institutions who work closely with BAS on research projects. These partnerships connect us with researchers across the UK and around the world.

They collaborate on field work, share data, co-author papers, and bring new ideas and methods to polar research. Many are former BAS scientists who have moved to other universities or research centres.

Current Honorary Researchers include:

• Alexander Haumann

• Erik Mackie

• Holly Winton

• Vittoria Guarino

• Nick Mitchell

• Alison Ming

• Ravindra Desai

• James Kirkham

• Ella Gilbert

• Will Goodall-Copestake

• Gert-Jan Jeunen

• Alison Cleary

• Bianca Perren

External Fellowship Schemes

BAS hosts researchers funded through major international fellowship programmes. These scientists choose to work at BAS because of our world-class facilities, expertise, and access to the polar regions.

Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions

European researchers bring new perspectives and methods to BAS. They work on projects from ice-shelf melting to polar ocean circulation.

NERC Independent Research Fellowships

Early-career UK scientists develop their research at BAS. Recent fellows have studied upper atmosphere climate change and ocean mixing on Antarctic shelves.

Other schemes

Researchers also come to BAS through European Research Council grants, NSF fellowships, and other international programmes.
