BAS (British Antarctic Survey)
The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is the UK's national organization dedicated to scientific research in Antarctica and the nearby Southern Ocean. It conducts studies on climate change, ecosystems, glaciers, and Earth's history, helping us understand environmental changes and global climate patterns. BAS operates research stations and ships in the region, collecting data that informs international scientific efforts. Its work supports efforts to protect the environment, monitor global warming impacts, and advance knowledge about Earth's distant and fragile ecosystems.
