The British Antarctic Survey (BAS), part of the Natural Environment Research Council, aims to undertake a world-class programme of scientific research, and to sustain for the UK an active and influential regional presence and a leadership role in Antarctic affairs. 
Recent studies suggest that Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica, might soon experience a wholesale change in its oceanographic regime with potentially dramatic consequences for the ice shelf, its tributary ice streams and sea level rise. Based within the Polar Oceans programme in Cambridge, you will contribute to a project aiming to assess this threat by gathering glaciological and oceanographic measurements that will optimise and validate a suite of regional models. Those models will then be used to provide the best
