PRESCIENT – UK Polar Research Expertise for Science and Society

PRESCIENT (UK Polar Research Expertise for Science and Society) is a joint programme between BAS (British Antarctic Survey) and CPOM (the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling) which began in April 2024 and is set to complete in March 2029.

The programme supports strategically-important, long-term measurements and specific capabilities that BAS and CPOM deliver for the wider science community. These are organised in four science areas:

  • Polar and Mountain Climate Data Records.
  • Southern Ocean Biological Observatories.
  • Antarctica’s contribution to Sea-Level Rise.
  • Space Weather Observatory.

PRESCIENT also supports the delivery of National Public Good. We will deliver independent scientific advice and support to a range of stakeholders in government, business, and wider society, ensuring that our scientific activities and expertise is available to support solutions.
