Research published this week by an international team of scientists, including the British Antarctic Survey, provides new insights into how carbon dioxide changed in the oceans surrounding Antarctica during glacial […]
Dr Emily Shuckburgh, British Antarctic Survey’s Deputy Head of Polar Oceans, was among those named in the New Year’s Honours List. She has been awarded an OBE for services to […]
Development of regional models to examine the detailed oceanography of island shelves and surrounding regions.
DynOPO investigated the flow of Antarctic Bottom Water through the Orkney Passage, a submarine valley connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Weddell Sea. The project tested whether winds over the Weddell Sea regulate the volume and temperature of this deep, cold water mass by altering turbulent mixing.
Government announces preferred bidder to build new polar ship Minister of State for Universities and Science, Jo Johnson announced today that the preferred bidder to build a new polar research […]
NERC funds PhD training in robotics and autonomous systems
As the southern westerly winds drive the Antarctic circumpolar current around Antarctica, deep waters are forced up to the surface south of the polar front. Changes in the intensity with […]
Understanding Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) and its affect on global ocean circulation.
This project attempts to reconstruct changes in the intermediate-deep ocean density gradient in the South Atlantic across the last deglaciation in order to assess the link between deep ocean stratification and atmospheric CO2.
A project studying the impact of ocean acidification on pteropods, small shelled marine animals considered a sentinel species for ocean acidification.
BEAMISH drilled through over 2 km of ice on Rutford Ice Stream to discover when the West Antarctic Ice Sheet last collapsed and how water and soft sediments beneath it help the ice flow towards the sea.
