QUASAR uses AI to improve Antarctic sea ice measurements from satellites, making climate data more reliable for scientists tracking changes in polar regions. The post Improving how we measure Antarctic sea ice appeared first on British Antarctic Survey .
Despite their importance to Arctic ecosystems, we don't know how many walruses exist. We're using satellite images and citizen science to count walruses. The post Counting Walruses from Space appeared first on British Antarctic Survey .
SEIEG is an independent committee of experts that provide support and advice to the UK Met Office and government departments. The post Space Environment Impacts Expert Group (SEIEG) appeared first on British Antarctic Survey .
ANTARCTICA INSYNC brings together researchers from around the world including British Antarctic Survey to study the continent and the Southern Ocean at the same time. The post ANTARCTICA INSYNC appeared first on British Antarctic Survey .
Artificial Intelligence for Stable Isotope Tracers (AISIT) creates a standardised, machine-readable database of Arctic freshwater tracers. The post Artificial Intelligence for Stable Isotope Tracers appeared first on British Antarctic Survey .
The Wild Water Whales project studies the recovery of baleen whale populations. Every shared photo or sighting becomes part of the recovery story. The post Whales of South Georgia Be Part of the Story appeared first on British Antarctic Survey .
Eco-ICE studies whether making Arctic sea ice thicker could harm ocean life and creates tools to help decision-makers work out if climate projects are safe. The post Creating Standards for Climate Experiments appeared first on British Antarctic Survey .
MACS looks at Antarctica's rapidly changing seasonal sea ice. As the planet warms microalgae growing in ice and water are affected and this, in turn, affects our climate system. The post Investigating mixotrophy in Antarctic cycles appeared first on British Antarctic Survey .
Embeddable maps for visualising simple features on a suitable basemap. The post Embedded Maps Service appeared first on British Antarctic Survey .
The Assets Tracking Service shows where British Antarctic Survey ships, aircraft and vehicles are at any given time. The post Assets Tracking Service appeared first on British Antarctic Survey .
