As record winter warming hits Antarctic research stations, a new paper discusses how the increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather makes Antarctic research more important, but also more challenging.
As the 2025/26 Antarctic science season comes to an end, we look back at our highlights and achievements.
New research warns of growing threat to fragile Antarctic plant ecosystems – but cutting emissions could prevent the worst outcomes.
Scientists studying world’s largest and most famous icebergs find surprising differences in how they affect ocean life.
Layers of ancient bird droppings preserved in the peatlands of the sub-Antarctic island of Bird Island have given scientists a window into 8,000 years of seabird history.
A new study concludes that warm ocean water was the primary driver of major West Antarctic Ice Sheet retreat since the end of the last ice age 18,000 years ago.
A team of international scientists, including from British Antarctic Survey (BAS), has modelled the best- and worst-case scenarios for the Antarctic Peninsula as the Earth’s climate warms.
Researchers from British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and South Korea (KOPRI) have concluded a highly ambitious field operation at Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica.
A team of researchers from the UK and Korea has reached the most inaccessible and least-understood part of Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica where they will drill through the glacier to directly observe how warm ocean water is melting it from below.
Artificial Intelligence for Stable Isotope Tracers (AISIT) creates a standardised, machine-readable database of Arctic freshwater tracers.
GIANT is a pioneering science project that will test the potential for early warning of a critical climate tipping point.
British Antarctic Survey (BAS) researchers have been selected for funding from The Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) to help improve our understanding of climate tipping points.
