Drivers and impacts of extreme high temperature events over coastal Antarctica

British Antarctic Survey Polar Science for a Sustainable Planet

Climatic conditions in Antarctica range from the relatively mild maritime northern section of the Antarctic Peninsula to the frigid high plateau of East Antarctica. Read more

The tactics of rheotaxis: movements of higher vertebrate predators in relation to Southern Ocean currents

British Antarctic Survey Polar Science for a Sustainable Planet

Movement is an important aspect of the lives of migratory animals and those that roam from a fixed central place, such as a colony or den/nest site. Read more

Supervisors: Dr N Ratcliffe, Prof J Matthiopoulos

5 January 2024 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Beyond species on the move: characterising Southern Ocean bioregions and communities under present and future climates

British Antarctic Survey Polar Science for a Sustainable Planet

Using the latest climate models and novel spatial analyses, this PhD will investigate the biogeographic and ecological characteristics of pelagic bioregions in the Southern Ocean. Read more

Supervisors: Dr J Freer, Dr R Reisinger

3 January 2024 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Resolving Antarctic meltwater events in marine sediments and exploring their significance using climate models

British Antarctic Survey Polar Science for a Sustainable Planet

The principal aim is to understand how enhanced melting of the Antarctic ice sheet affects global ocean circulation, sea level and climate. Read more

Supervisors: Dr C Allen, Dr AS Silvano

3 January 2024 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

More Details

Space-time geography of Antarctic ice shelf mixing

British Antarctic Survey Polar Science for a Sustainable Planet

Significant uncertainty exists in predictions of future sea level rise from Antarctica. This uncertainty partly arises from our lack of understanding of the ice-ocean processes that melt the ice shelves around the continent’s margin. Read more

Supervisors: Dr P Davis, Prof A Naveira-Garabato

3 January 2024 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Impacts of eddy damping on the ocean stratification and general circulation

British Antarctic Survey Polar Science for a Sustainable Planet

Mesoscale eddies are small-scale ocean features, around 10-100 km in size, which are analogous to the atmosphere’s weather systems. Read more

Supervisors: Dr D Munday, Dr X Zhai

10 January 2024 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Future changes to rainfall over Antarctica and the Southern Ocean

British Antarctic Survey Polar Science for a Sustainable Planet

The cryosphere of Antarctica and the surrounding Southern Ocean are an integral part of the Earth’s climate system. For example, its interior ice sheets drain down to the coastline via outlet glaciers, which then break off as icebergs and melt in the ocean. Read more

Supervisors: Dr A Orr, Dr S Cornford

The impact of meteorological extremes on surface melting of Antarctica’s ice shelves

British Antarctic Survey Polar Science for a Sustainable Planet

Meteorological extremes are increasingly being observed around the globe. The vast frozen landscape of Antarctica is especially vulnerable to such extremes (Siegert et al., 2023), and a record-breaking ‘heatwave’ over East Antarctica occurred in 2022. Read more

Supervisors: Dr A Orr, Dr I Willis

An ice-free Arctic: why was Arctic warmth amplified during past Interglacials?

British Antarctic Survey Polar Science for a Sustainable Planet

The Last Interglacial (LIG) period, which had higher summer solar insolation than today, is the last time that Arctic experienced ice free summers. Read more

Supervisors: Dr Louise Sime, Dr F Muschitiello

4 January 2024 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Vertical ocean mixing and atmospheric carbon across the Eocene

British Antarctic Survey Polar Science for a Sustainable Planet

Climate change is driven by anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide. This has led to an unprecedented increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide and elevated global temperatures. Read more

Supervisors: Dr D Munday, Prof A Mashayek

Unlocking the fingerprint of air-snow exchange of reactive bromine and nitrogen at the poles

British Antarctic Survey Polar Science for a Sustainable Planet

In polar regions, snowpack is a large reservoir of natural and synthetic chemical compounds. The exchange of chemically reactive gas-phase and particulate-phase compounds at the interface of the atmosphere-snow-ice system has been found to play an important role in the global environment and climate.
