Join us for a meeting about climate extremes in the polar regions
Join us for a meeting on the global impacts of climate extremes in the polar regions at the Royal Society on 29 September to 30 September.
This meeting is organised by Professor Kate Hendry, Professor Dame Jane Francis DCMG FRS, Professor Michael Meredith, Professor Geraint Tarling, Dr Alexander Brearley, Professor Dominic Hodgson, and Dr Peter Davis.
This meeting is free to attend and will include:
Discussions on what we know about the recent events of extreme changes to the climate in the polar regions — including exceptionally low winter sea ice and accelerated melting of ice
Poster session from 5pm on Monday 29 September 2025 – if you would like to present please follow the guidelines outlined on the Royal Society website
Programme, including speaker biographies and abstracts
Both virtual and in-person attendance is available. However, advance registration is essential
At the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) we study climate extremes in polar regions, such as extreme precipitation events. This allows us to understand past changes, informing future climate projections. Through research on natural archives, such as ice cores and ice shelves, we provide vital information for a sustainable future.
