British Antarctic Survey (BAS)

The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is a research organization that conducts scientific studies in Antarctica and the surrounding regions. Established in 1962, its primary goal is to improve our understanding of polar environments and their impact on global climate and ecosystems. BAS scientists research a variety of fields, including geology, biology, and climate science. They also provide essential data on wildlife, ice sheets, and atmospheric conditions, contributing to global efforts to address climate change and preserve biodiversity. BAS plays a vital role in fostering international collaboration in polar research and environmental protection.
