The International Geophysical Year (IGY), 1957-58, was a key moment in the development of international science diplomacy, as well as in the establishment of scientific governance in Antarctica. During the IGY, the Royal Society undertook an expedition to Halley Bay on the Brunt Ice Shelf. The base was founded on 6 January 1956, in preparation for research and observations in atmospheric science, glaciology, geology and geographical survey. The base, or one of its successor structures, was operated continually ever since until earlier in 2017, when overwintering at the site was considered too dangerous due to a growing crack on the ice sheet. Scientific evidence gathered from 1956 onwards underpins many of the claims made about our changing global climate, and was important in the discovery of the ozone hole in 1984.The field station at Halley Bay has been enrolled in a wide network of British and international institutions andactors. However, it has never been subjected to historical investigation. This PhD will investigate these issues, branching across history of science and cultural geography.

1957- 1958年国际地球物理年是发展国际科学外交和建立南极洲科学管理的关键时刻。在IGY期间，皇家学会对布伦特冰架上的哈雷湾进行了一次探险。该基地成立于1956年1月6日，为大气科学，冰川学，地质学和地理调查的研究和观测做准备。该基地或其后续结构之一自2017年初以来一直在运营，当时由于冰盖上的裂缝越来越大，在该地点越冬被认为太危险。从1956年起收集的科学证据支持了许多关于全球气候变化的说法，并在1984年发现臭氧洞时发挥了重要作用。哈雷湾的实地站已加入了英国和国际机构和行动者的广泛网络。然而，它从来没有受到历史的调查。这个博士将调查这些问题，跨科学史和文化地理分支。
