Most "useful" content from the pages below has moved into www.antarctica.ac.uk/met.

In the meantime these old pages remain. Some are legacy pages and will not be updated. NONE OF THE PAGES BELOW ARE BEING UPDATED.

It is perhaps worth noting that the Ice and Climate division no longer even exists, having been absorbed into PSD division.

The aim of the research undertaken by the Ice and Climate Division is to understand the present behaviour of the ice-atmosphere-ocean system in Antarctica and its evolution in the past, and to use this knowledge to predict future behaviour.
