More than 40 organisations are joining forces to strengthen how the rapidly changing Arctic is observed, understood and monitored.
From investigations using cutting-edge technologies, to building on decades of data collection – this season’s science will help us understand how this frozen landscape is changing.
New research reveals the loss of half a million chinstrap penguins from the Antarctic island of Zavodovski, as scientists fear they may now qualify as an ‘Endangered’ species.

In the harsh and ever-changing landscapes of the polar regions, autonomous robots are quickly becoming a scientist’s best friend as our tools catch up with our questions.
A major new EU-funded project is bringing together 27 research institutions from around the world, including the British Antarctic Survey, to build a step-change in how we observe and understand the Southern Ocean and Antarctica.
An international team is collecting observations to understand how a melting Greenland is affecting ocean currents, which could cause weather change in UK and Europe
As extreme summer heat causes disruption across the UK and Europe this week, Midwinter at Antarctica’s Rothera Research Station is becoming increasingly unrecognisable.
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.
