Centro Polar e Climático is a renowned research center focused on polar regions, with a particular emphasis on Antarctica. Led by Professor Dr. Jefferson Simões, the center leverages its expertise to study a range of areas, including glaciochemistry, paleoclimatology, remote sensing, polar and subtropical climatology, cryopedology, geoecology, glacial geomorphology, and sedimentology.

Through their extensive research, Centro Polar offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics and environmental factors of polar regions. Their findings contribute to a better understanding of climate change, ice cover variations, and their consequences on a global scale. In addition to their scientific pursuits, Centro Polar is dedicated to education and exploration.

Recently, they successfully concluded an expedition to the interior of Antarctica, gathering crucial data and advancing our understanding of this unique ecosystem. The center also provides access to a wealth of information through the Portal de Ambientes Antárticos, allowing researchers, policymakers, and the general public to engage with Antarctic science and policy. Centro Polar e Climático is a driving force in the field of polar research, bridging the gap between science and policy for the benefit of our planet's future
