CRAC-ICE: Collaborative Research into Antarctic Calving and ICeberg Evolution
Written by Administrator
CRAC-ICE will be a coordinated investigation into calving processes on three major Antarctic ice shelves, and a (long-term) monitoring of icebergs in the Southern Ocean, including the study of the physical processes related to iceberg drift and decay.

The Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica (LIMA) is the most detailed, high-resolution map ever produced of Antarctica. It is a never-before-seen compilation of space-based, cloud-free images of the entire continent, in ten times greater detail than was previously possible. Over a thousand Landsat 7 satellite images were joined to create this stunning view of one of the most inaccessible regions on our planet. Landsat satellites provide an unparalleled record of Earth?s varying landscapes to help us understand how Earth is changing, and what those changes mean for life on our planet.

The goal of SPARC-IPY, who's full title is: The Structure and Evolution of the Polar Stratosphere and Mesosphere and Links to the Troposphere during IPY, is to document the dynamics, chemistry and microphysical processes within the polar vortices during IPY, with a focus on the stratosphere-troposphere and stratosphere-mesosphere coupling. One of the key outcomes will be a collection of analysis products from several operational centres and several research centres, which will be archived at the SPARC Data Center. The analysis products will cover the period of IPY (March 2007 to March 2009) and will represent the best available self-consistent approximations to the state of the atmosphere during this period.

STELLA ANTARCTICA: Towards an international astronomical observatory at Dome C in Antarctica
Written by Administrator
STELLA ANTARCTICA is a 9-nation IPY project to investigate the feasibility of establishing an observatory at Dome C in Antarctica – potentially the best astronomical site in the world. The team will conduct several small-scale astronomical experiments at Dome C, as well as holding international discussions that could pave the way for an ambitious, multi-million Euro observatory at Dome C.

Cape Farewell: the science, education & culture of climate change
Written by Administrator
Cape Farewell brings artists, scientists and educators together to bring about long-term change in cultural attitudes towards climate change.
Created by artist David Buckland in 2001, Cape Farewell has lead three expeditions to the High Arctic, the frontline of climate change. From these expeditions has sprung an extraordinary body of artwork, a film co-produced by the BBC, Cape Farewell’s first major book title, The CD ARCTIC by Max Eastley, educational resources for GCSE Geography and Science and a UN award winning website. The project is widely acknowledged to be the most significant sustained artistic response to climate change anywhere in the world.
