About
The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is a UK-based research organization specializing in the study of Antarctica and the surrounding region. It operates as part of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and conducts scientific research in fields such as climate science, glaciology, biodiversity, and oceanography. BAS manages multiple research stations, field camps, and research vessels to facilitate data collection and long-term monitoring of environmental changes in the polar regions. The organization plays a key role in international collaborations and contributes to global climate research through its findings on ice sheets, atmospheric processes, and marine ecosystems. In addition to scientific research, BAS provides logistical support for Antarctic expeditions and ensures compliance with the Antarctic Treaty System, which governs activities on the continent.
