A new study on Antarctica’s Brunt Ice Shelf has revealed that surface melting and seawater infiltration can have dramatically different effects on the structural strength of floating ice shelves.
A new study published in Science Advances has overturned a common assumption about earthquake prediction: that major earthquakes follow predictable cycles, and that regions can be ‘overdue’ for the next big one.
The Polar Museum at the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, has opened its new exhibition, Through Ice & Fire.
A new study has revealed significant changes in the strength and position of the Southern Hemisphere westerly winds over the past 11,000 years.
The Beyond EPICA-Oldest Ice project has successfully drilled a 2800-metre-long ice core consisting of ice which is over 1.2 million years old.
Over 30 researchers from international institutes are working on ice core drilling campaigns in Antarctica to probe the ice sheet’s behaviour, carbon cycling in the Southern Ocean, and the Earth’s climate history.
For the first time, researchers, including from British Antarctic Survey, have combined unique geological samples with sophisticated modelling to provide surprising insights into when and where today’s East and West Antarctic ice sheets formed.
Scientists have discovered a landscape of rocky hills and smooth plains beneath the remote Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica.
A new study, involving researchers from British Antarctic Survey, has found that significant thinning and retreat of the vast Thwaites Glacier began in the 1940s.
The final field season of the ambitious, international effort to understand Antarctica’s giant Thwaites Glacier is complete.
A team have arrived at Rothera Research Station, ready to start testing the new Windracers ULTRA autonomous drone in Antarctica. If successful, the new drone platform could represent a major addition to British Antarctic Survey’s scientific capability on the frozen continent.
Antarctic seafloor ecosystems are both unique and fragile. Studying their past and present gives us valuable insights into how climate change may reshape them.
