British Antarctic Survey (BAS) are committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2040. Transparency is central to our approach – we do not purchase carbon offsets. Instead, we prioritise … The post BAS Carbon Footprint Report 2024/2025: Our journey to net zero appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
The post Century-scale effect of climate change on meteorite falls appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
Glaciers – immense rivers of ice, containing vast volumes of freshwater – are often considered barren environments, and the melting of them seen as an indicator of climate change. But … The post Feeding the ocean, an icy solution appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
Antarctica could see a doubling of extreme weather events – such as atmospheric rivers – by 2100, with implications for future sea level rise. A new study published last week … The post Climate change supercharges atmospheric rivers over Antarctica appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
Sea ice is retreating rapidly due to climate change, with far-stretching consequences for its inhabitants. Sea ice influences climate through impacts on carbon sequestration and production of the cloud-forming gas … The post NPP-MACS appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
The post Untangling the Complexities of Larval Antarctic Krill Overwintering Success Under Climate Change appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
Ocean climate changes in the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre (SPG) are controlled by freshwater input. In turn, the SPG supplies heat to the Greenland Ice Sheet’s (GrIS) marine margins, with … The post GRAIL appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
The post The Need for Better Monitoring of Climate Change in the Middle and Upper Atmosphere appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
A project looking at how clouds affect climate change in Antarctica starts its second year of field research this month. The Southern Ocean Clouds (SOC) project, which is part of … The post Cloud scientists take to the skies to solve climate uncertainty appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
