Case study: First fully coupled ocean-atmosphere model for the Ross Sea
Year Published: 2023
Document Type:
Case Studies
Ownership: Antarctic Science Platform
Summary: A new modelling tool developed by Antarctic Science Platform researchers accurately represents ocean-atmosphere-sea ice interactions in the Ross Sea, which is critical for reducing uncertainty in the assessment of future climate scenarios.
Case study: Filter-feeding sponges as eDNA traps to monitor marine biodiversity baselines and change
Year Published: 2023
Document Type:
Case Studies
Ownership: Antarctic Science Platform
Summary: A new environmental monitoring technique developed by Antarctic Science Platform researchers uses filter-feeding sponges as natural environmental DNA (eDNA) samplers. This technique has been successfully demonstrated to monitor the marine biodiversity and biogeography in the Antarctic and Southern Ocean and to identify changes. This new approach will support the monitoring ambitions of the Ross Sea region Marine Protected Area.
Case study: Detecting polynya from space
Year Published: 2023
Document Type:
Case Studies
Ownership: Antarctic Science Platform
Summary: Antarctic Science Platform researchers are using satellite data to determine the spatial extent of polynya with better accuracy, which unlocks the ability to quantify their role in large-scale processes, such as sea-ice formation, ocean circulation and their impact on marine ecosystems.
Case study: New Antarctic Ice Sheet data contributes to policy and planning
Year Published: 2023
Document Type:
Case Studies
Ownership: Antarctic Science Platform
Summary: The Antarctic Science Platform is generating improved, data-constrained models that are being used for planning and adaptation decision-making measures to manage the impacts of future sea level rise on Aotearoa and Antarctica.
Case Study: Machine learning-assisted meta-analysis of biological research in Antarctica
Authors: Antarctic Science Platform
Year Published: 2022
Document Type:
Case Studies, Science
Summary: To understand what Antarctic ecosystems may look like in a warming world, it’s critical to first comprehensively understand the current-day biodiversity and biogeography.
Case Study: Bespoke technology is advancing Antarctic research
Authors: Antarctic Science Platform
Year Published: 2022
Document Type:
Case Studies
Summary: The long-term perspective of the Antarctic Science Platform has afforded research partners the certainty to invest in new equipment.
Case Study: International cooperation and ocean monitoring in the Ross Sea
Authors: Antarctic Science Platform
Year Published: 2022
Document Type:
Case Studies, Science, Fieldwork
Summary: The Antarctic Science Platform is collaborating across New Zealand and with other nations to share and deploy resources into Antarctica and the Southern Ocean.
Case Study: Scientific Advice to International Antarctic Treaty Meetings
Authors: Antarctic Science Platform
Year Published: 2022
Document Type:
Case Studies, Science
Summary: New Zealand is one of 12 original signatories to the Antarctic Treaty (signed in 1959), and these annual international meetings are a key target for the Platform’s research data, findings and new understandings.
