In November researchers collaborating on ExtAnt (Drivers and Impacts of Extreme Weather Events in Antarctica) were at BAS Cambridge for the project kick off meeting.

ExtAnt is a 4-year NERC: Natural Environment Research Council project assessing present day and future extreme weather events in Antarctica, and the associated risks.

The project brings together leading UK and international scientists to:
🌪️ Investigate the drivers of extreme weather events
📈 Understand present-day trends of extreme events and their impacts
🧊 Quantify the severity and frequency of future Antarctic extreme events, and impacts on vulnerable ice shelves
