#Weather week: this Automated Weather Station (AWS) set up on Anchorage Island, #antarctica measures temperature + humidity of air + soil, PAR and wind speeds. Gathers data for terrestrial experiments in the area. Needs calibrating (⬇️fancy barometer) and check over once a year.

25 years ongoing oceanographic data set in coastal waters of the WAP - thanks to the dedication of endless research assistants at Rothera. 500m CTD casts - hand-winch only 💪.collab with @uniofeastanglia @Dorothee_Bakker .#Oceanography.

Celebrating #PolarPride . Diversity and different perspectives form the basis of science and research. Let's celebrate it among the community, not suppress it. Twin Otter landing in the background for good measure. #PolarPride2022 @BAS_News

This survey constitutes part of the long term marine monitoring. The team visit this dive site, Beautiful Bulge, once a month. Check out the spetacular explosion of colour and life! Photos from ROV surveys conducted by Marine Biologist @nadiafrontier & boating officer Louis Day

From ROV to diving. Monitoring the feeding activity in antarctic benthic suspension feeders using an ROV mounted GoPro during the polar winter. We are now back to using divers to conduct this survey. Clear upregulation of feeding activity in response to the summer bloom.#Ecology

I‘m a #scientist , dig me out of here!.❄️🌨

Happy faces and cold hands 🥶. Sea water temps: -1.67 C 🧊❄️.Restarting #polardiving 🤿at Rothera after a break during winter. @OThreeLtd #diving #polarscience @BAS_News

Flying into Rothera research station. Can you spot the runway (bottom left)? Check out Sheldon #glacier on the right. It’s been increasingly receding over the last decades, tracked by @BAS_News scientists via satellite imagery. #frozenplanet @BAS_News #Antarctica

After a series of vertical trawls were undertaken, zooplankton catch was identified and quantified. This information helps us understand more about planktonic diversity and changes with depth across the seasons (2/2).#plantkon @BAS_News

Plankton trawling has given an insight into what is living in the water column around the Rothera research station. A recent study conducted by Alice Clement has identified a range of organisms from amphipods to larval stages of benthic organisms (1/2) #larvalecology #Antarctica
