BAS author Professor Mike Meredith, who's head of the Polar Oceans team at BAS, says:

"This is an important new briefing document that emphasizes the role that the Arctic plays on weather, climate and diverse aspects of society in the UK. With the exciting new capability that the RRS Sir David Attenborough will provide, we'll soon be better able than ever to research the role of the Arctic, and advise policymakers on how to respond to the rapid changes there."
