The Arctic Ocean is changing faster than anywhere else on Earth, driving shifts in climate systems in the UK and across the globe with profound consequences for ecosystems and human communities. Our Arctic research is using cutting-edge technology to gain a deeper understanding of this pristine environment and provide real solutions for a changing planet.

Your support for the Arctic Ocean Fund will:

  • Reveal how a changing Arctic Ocean is reshaping marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and the global climate system.
  • Track risks to Arctic communities, infrastructure, and economies (like sea level rise), while supporting adaptation and resilience.
  • Develop pioneering autonomous technologies to explore and monitor extreme environments that are otherwise unreachable.
  • Build early warning systems and predictive environmental models to reduce climate- and pollution-based risks for communities, governments, and industry.
  • Strengthen international and Indigenous partnerships to co-design equitable, impactful Arctic science.
