Canadian Scientists Advance Antarctic Climate Research

Canada has launched a significant Antarctic research initiative as part of Operation PROJECTION 2025-01, sending a team of 15 scientists aboard HMCS Margaret Brooke for a month-long mission starting February 23, 2025. This expedition, supported by Polar Knowledge Canada and several federal departments, aims to study climate change effects, glacial retreat, and pollution in the Antarctic region. Notably, Polar Knowledge Canada signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Instituto Antártico Chileno to enhance collaborative polar research ahead of the International Polar Year 2032-33.
