The British Antartic Survey website details the activities, co-ordinated in Cambridge, UK, who undertake environmental monitoring and research in the Antarctic. The BAS monitor environmental change within the Antartic via research stations both land and sea based, maintaining the Antarctic Treaty System. Users may link to the latest BAS news, download and access data from the Antarctic, browse libraries and map catalogues, and learn about BAS activities and the Antarctic environment. The site provides data on ice and icebergs, weather and navigation, including charts, bulletins, models, photographs, maps and forecasts for Canada and the Arctic. It covers current and historic data.
Some data is free, but access to the full set of data requires registration and payment.
The site is available in English and French. The University of Wales, Aberystwth, hosts the Centre of Glaciology, established in 1994, which is a leading institution in glaciologal research. Areas of interest include glacial geology and hydrology, snow chemistry, glaciers and climate, chemical and physical weathering in cold environments and glacial geomorphology, with research sites in the Swiss Alps, Greenland, Svalbard, Norway and the Polar North Atlantic. Users may obtain information on publications, metting and seminar series, and oppurtunities for study at undergraduate and postgraduate level. This site at the University of Washington includes the course curriculum and research related to all components of ice in the environment.
