As the climate warms, changes in snowmelt, glacier retreat and water availability can cause untold hardship for Himalayan communities, including increased flooding risk. Understanding and modelling these changes can help avoid potential disasters,
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.
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 the 2025/26 Antarctic science season comes to an end, we look back at our highlights and achievements.
The Mapping and Geographic Information Centre (MAGIC) at the British Antarctic Survey have produced new maps of the topography (physical features) and geology of Alexander Island in Antarctica.
New research released today in Nature Geoscience reveals that vegetation cover on the Antarctic Peninsula has increased more than tenfold in the past four decades.
The first continent-wide mapping study of plant life across Antarctica reveals growth in previously uncharted areas, and is set to inform conservation measures across the region.
In the first successful attempt to calibrate walrus counts from satellite imagery, scientists used drones to validate animal counts in Svalbard, Norway.
This project tests whether satellite imagery can be used to monitor breeding seabirds across the island group.
Scientists from British Antarctic Survey have discovered four previously unknown emperor penguin breeding sites.
New measurements of how the boundary between onshore glacier and floating ice shelf glides back-and- forth could help predict melting
The melting of the supergiant iceberg A-68 had a huge impact on the ocean around South Georgia, in sub-Antarctica, and significantly changed the Southern Ocean’s temperature and saltiness, with potentially major consequences for this ecologically significant region.
