Collaborative Antarctic Science Scheme – Introduction
About the scheme
The Collaborative Antarctic Science Scheme (CASS) provides opportunities for UK researchers to access NERC-BAS Antarctic research stations and marine science cruises for the purpose of conducting small-scale, fieldwork-based science projects that do not require logistic resources additional to those already allocated to the Antarctic field programme supported by BAS.
