Glaciers on the Antarctic Peninsula have been losing mass at a rate well above the global average, leading to the expansion of proglacial areas. These areas are important sediment sources for the Southern Ocean and are a control on its rich biodiversity. With glaciers projected to lose more mass in the coming decades, and permafrost projected to degrade, it is essential to study the sedimentary systems in Antarctica’s proglacial regions. This presentation will discuss fieldwork undertaken during a recent expedition to James Ross Island with the Czech Antarctic Research Programme. It will describe the samples and measurements collected from two river catchments during the Austral Summer of 2022: data that are currently being analysed to look at the spatial and temporal variability in sediment dynamics. This will be placed into the broader context of ongoing research that is looking at the current state of Antarctica’s major proglacial areas, and will provide an insight into life at a research station on Earth’s southernmost continent.
