In June 2025, The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) Southampton hosted a workshop on the contribution of UK Arctic Ocean science to the International Polar Year 32/33, bringing together individuals from more than 30 HEIs, government agencies and NGOs from across the UK.
The purpose of this workshop was for the UK Ocean Science community to have the opportunity to discuss and then publish a report outlining the priority Arctic research questions the community would like to address during the run up to, throughout and beyond the International Polar Year 32/33. Additionally, the workshop participants looked to identify what unique strengths and technologies the UK has to help fill these knowledge gaps. The report, UK Arctic Ocean and Coastal Research for IPY 5, is now available.
