The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is a scientific research organization based in the United Kingdom. Established in 1962, it focuses on studying the Antarctic region and its impact on global climate and ecosystems. BAS conducts various research projects, including glaciology, biology, and oceanography, to better understand the unique environment of Antarctica. BAS operates several research stations, such as Rothera and Halley, where scientists live and work year-round. The organization collaborates with international partners and contributes to global efforts in climate change research, helping to inform policy decisions and enhance our understanding of the Earth's systems.
