Science-policy engagement within the Ross Sea region MPA: a pilot survey
Authors: Clare I.M. Adams
Year Published: 2024
Document Type:
Reports
Ownership: Antarctic Science Platform
Summary: A pilot survey of Antarctic researchers into how researchers view Ross Sea region management and how their role, as scientists, can generate research of value to policymakers.
Emerging long-term trends and interdecadal cycles in Antarctic polynyas
Authors: Grant A. Duffy, Fabien Montiel, Ariaan Purich, Ceridwen I. Fraser.
Year Published: 2024
Document Type:
Publications
Ownership: University of Otago
Summary: An increase in pockets of open water in Antarctica’s sea ice (polynyas) may mean coastal plants and animals could one day establish on the continent, University of Otago-led research suggests.

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.
Conservation of heat and mass in P-SKRIPS version 1: the coupled atmosphere–ice–ocean model of the Ross Sea
Authors: A.Malyarenko, A.Gossart, R.Sun, M.Krapp
Year Published: 2023
Document Type:
Papers
Ownership: Geoscientific Model Development
Summary: A coupled model for the Ross Sea, P-SKRIPS, that conserves heat and mass between the ocean and sea ice model (MITgcm) and the atmosphere model (PWRF).
