IT’S A VERY EXCITING TIME TO BE PART OF CLIMATE CHANGE RESEARCH AT UEA.

Prof Karen Heywood OBE

“We are also looking forward to PICCOLO, a project investigating carbon in the deep ocean close to Antarctica. UEA is a leading partner, together with Plymouth Marine Laboratory. We recently deployed moored instruments to measure ocean properties underneath the winter sea ice. Between January and March 2024, we will travel on board the UK’s new polar research ship RRS Sir David Attenborough to the western Weddell Sea, where we will pick up those instruments, undertake intensive surveys with the ocean gliders and run experiments. It’s a very exciting time to be part of climate change research at UEA.”
