Scientists at British Antarctic Survey have found that the number of warm weather events in the South Orkney Islands have significantly increased in frequency over the last 75 years.
The overarching goal of the project is to determine the role of sea-ice surface properties in Arctic cyclone dynamics and to characterise the interaction of Arctic cyclones with the summer-time Arctic environment.
New research papers from the one-year MOSAiC expedition to study the Arctic have yielded new understanding about the region. Hundreds of international researchers are currently analysing observations from the MOSAiC […]
The debut mission involving the autonomous submarine Autosub Long Range – affectionately known as Boaty McBoatface – has for the first time shed light on a key process linking increasing […]
UK scientists will join what could be the largest-scale Arctic research expedition ever planned when the German research ship, RV Polarstern, is deliberately lodged into sea ice to drift past […]
Professor Mike Meredith wins prize
SONATA will design and implement an optimal approach to assess the state, variability and climatic drivers of the contemporary Southern Ocean carbon sink. This overriding objective will be achieved through a combination of atmospheric and marine field measurements as well as numerical modelling.
COMICS studied how carbon moves through the ocean’s ‘twilight zone’, the area between 100m and 1000m below the surface. This zone plays a key role in regulating atmospheric CO2 levels.
Local weather plays an important part in the retreat of the ice shelves in West Antarctica, according to new research published in the journal Nature Communications today (Friday 17 February). […]
A new research platform to put UK scientists at the forefront of polar science
An international team of scientists have used air bubbles in polar ice from pre-industrial times to measure the sensitivity of the Earth’s land biosphere to changes in temperature.
A new study has found for the first time that ocean warming is the primary cause of retreat of glaciers on the Antarctic Peninsula. The Peninsula is one of the largest current contributors to sea-level rise and this new finding will enable researchers to make better predictions of ice loss from this region.
