West Antarctic ice streams: Airborne geophysical survey (radio-echo sounding, gravity and magnetics) of the Institute and Moller ice streams in West Antarctica. This project, funded by the NERC Antarctic Funding Initiative (AFI), was led by Martin Siegert in collaboration with scientists from the British Antarctic Survey and the universities of Aberdeen, Edinburgh, York and Exeter. The project characterised the basal boundary conditions and flow dynamics of ice streams in the Weddell Sea sector of West Antarctica. By 2014, the project team had published nine research papers detailing their results.
