Uncovering the secrets of Earth's frozen places, and doing climate science for a sustainable planet 🌍 We're the UK's polar science institute 👋Uncovering the secrets of Earth's polar and frozen regions - from the depths of the oceans to the inner edge of space.

Core values

- **Environmental Protection**: BAS is at the forefront of environmental impact assessments in Antarctica, ensuring the protection of the Antarctic environment through rigorous assessments and mitigation measures[2][5].
- **Climate Change and Sea-Level Rise**: BAS's research on sea-level rise and glacier behavior significantly contributes to reducing uncertainty in climate change projections, which is crucial for global sea defence policy and planning[4].
- **Innovation and Impact**: The BAS strategy for innovation and impact aims to create significant societal benefits through outward-facing innovation, particularly in addressing the net zero carbon challenge[1].
