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.
Scientists studying satellite images of Antarctica have stumbled upon a discovery that sheds new light on emperor penguins – and reveals a troubling threat to their survival.
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.
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.
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 […]
This year, escape the ordinary and apply for the job of a lifetime in Antarctica. While January is often associated with post-Christmas gloom, British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is looking for people to work at its research stations in Antarctica, […]
An international team of researchers, led by British Antarctic Survey (BAS), is setting out to discover how glacier calving around Antarctica can trigger powerful underwater tsunamis. When icebergs break off glacier fronts and fall […]
Scientists working in Antarctica will benefit from a major new British Antarctic Survey (BAS) facility that demonstrates the UK’s position as a world leader in polar research. The £100 million […]
Specialist divers will be entering the icy waters of the Weddell Sea, Antarctica this festive season (22-29 December) as part of a groundbreaking mission to test RRS Sir David Attenborough’s (SDA) ability to navigate through challenging sea ice conditions.
The staff at the UK’s Rothera Research Station in Antarctica have been gifted an iconic Royal Mail ‘lamp’ post box featuring the King Charles III cypher – just in time […]
Researchers, engineers and support staff at British Antarctic Survey’s (BAS) five UK research stations and aboard the UK’s polar research ship RRS Sir David Attenborough mark the festive season at […]
