The atmospheric boundary layer research group is concerned with the processes that couple the Antarctic atmosphere to the underlying ice sheets and oceans. The group has carried out a number of Antarctic field experiments since 1986; links to some of these and to current research activities may be found below. Most of the group's current research forms part of the project Atmosphere-Ice Exchange Processes
