133 to 144 of 264 projects
This project investigated plastic pollution across Arctic and Antarctic environments. Scientists collected water, ice, and sediment samples to quantify macro and microplastic pollution, track its sources, and assess its impact on polar wildlife.
Research project investigating how shifting southern westerly winds drive warm Circumpolar Deep Water onto the West Antarctic Peninsula shelf, accelerating glacier melt, reducing sea ice, and transforming marine ecosystems.
A project studying the impact of ocean acidification on pteropods, small shelled marine animals considered a sentinel species for ocean acidification.
This research aims to improve estimates of Antarctica’s contribution to sea level. Sea level is currently rising at approximately 3mm/yr.
Optimising situational awareness in the Arctic through integrated space technologies
This project collected a shallow ice core from East Antarctic Plateau to reconstruct past ultraviolet radiation and therefore the ozone layer for the past 1,000 yr by measuring the isotopes of nitrogen and oxygen in the nitrate ion.
Science on the move – the mission to understand the stability of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet
iStar-B strives to better understand ocean and ice interaction, processes and variability
iStar-B studies ocean circulation and melting beneath the ice shelves of the south-eastern Amundsen Sea
iStar-C – strives to understand the dynamical control and response to change of Pine Island Glacier
iStar-D will identify the potential contribution to sea-level rise, from ice locked in the Amundsen Sea sector of Antarctica
JASPER brings together two of the best equipped Polar meteorology instrumented aircraft and teams to study boundary layer meteorology in the Antarctic Peninsula and Weddell Sea.
