  1. North Atlantic climate system integrated study

    Background pattern.

    ACSIS focussed on understanding changes occurring across the North Atlantic climate system in the ocean, the atmosphere, the cryosphere and the interactions between these constituent components.

  2. North Sea Methane

    Offshore gas fields worldwide are major sources of methane emissions. Developing reliable methods to locate emissions and pinpoint sources is critical for quantifying the volume of methane emissions from gas fields across the world.

  3. Ocean-driven ice-shelf thinning in Antarctica

    By exploiting advances in ice sheet modelling, and new Antarctic-wide datasets, this project aims to predict how far and how fast the observed ocean-driven thinning of floating ice shelves will propagate into the interior of the Antarctic ice sheet, and assess the consequences for global sea level over decadal-to-centennial timescales.

  4. Orkney Passage Long Term Monitoring

    A group of rope

    As part of the BAS Polar Oceans team’s long-term monitoring programme, we have been observing this outflow using moored instruments since 2007, in collaboration with Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory , who have been observing this region since 2004.

  5. Parasites in Antarctic Krill

    Understanding krill-parasite interactions helps predict krill population dynamics. It also improves models of Antarctic ecosystem function.

  6. Past Westerly Winds

    Past Westerly Winds research project used climate model simulations to investigate how Southern Ocean westerly winds behaved during the last glacial maximum.

  7. Penguin foraging in a warming ocean

    Penguins

    The aim of this project is to learn more about the feeding habits of penguins around the Antarctic Peninsula to understand how their behaviour may be changing as the waters around the Peninsula warm.

  8. PlanetBelt3

    Picture of electron radiation belt at Saturn

    PlanetBelt3 will be looking at the radiation belts of Saturn in this project, to include important newly recognised transport processes.
