  1. BEAMISH: Basal Conditions on Rutford Ice Stream

    BAS Field Camp on the Rutford Ice Stream

    BEAMISH drilled through over 2 km of ice on Rutford Ice Stream to discover when the West Antarctic Ice Sheet last collapsed and how water and soft sediments beneath it help the ice flow towards the sea.

  2. Bedmap

    Bedmap is a collaborative community that has produced maps and datasets of Antarctic ice thickness and bed topography

  3. Bedmap Himalayas

    Bedmap Himalayas measures how much water is stored as glacier ice in High Mountain Asia by mapping ice thickness using radar.

  4. Bedmap2

    Bedmap2 is a suite of gridded products describing surface elevation, ice-thickness and the sea floor and subglacial bed elevation of the Antarctic.

  5. Bedmap3

    Bedmap3 is a collaborative community project with the aim to produce a new map and datasets of Antarctic ice thickness and bed topography.

  6. Bedrock sampling beneath Antarctic ice

    A close up of a refrigerator.

    In this project samples of bedrock were analysed to determine how long they have been shielded from the sun, and that could tell us how long ago the ice sheet formed, even if the first ice has long gone.

  7. Bycatch risk of wandering albatrosses from radar detection

    Wandering albatrosses displaying

    The overall objective of this project is to link habitat preference, at-sea activity patterns and detections from novel bird-borne radars to quantify interactions of tracked wandering albatrosses with legal and IUU fishing vessels.

  8. Carbon capture by Antarctic seabeds

    The ASCCC Project investigates, quantifies and understands the role of polar and subpolar seabeds in the carbon cycle, particularly in response to climate change.

  9. Chinstrap Penguin Tracking

    Chinstrap Penguins

    The study aimed to map penguin foraging ranges during the breeding season to assess whether existing 50 km coastal fishing exclusion zones adequately protect these krill-dependent seabirds from potential competition with the Antarctic krill fishery.
