Summary: The Antarctic Science Platform is seeking an experienced Māori research leader to provide leadership for the development and delivery of activities in a Mātauranga Māori research programme.
Summary: The Antarctic Science Platform took a leading role in the science programme for the RV Tangaroa's 16th Antarctic campaign, with a priority to enhance the internationally coordinated network of oceanographic observations within the Ross Sea.
Summary: A first-of-its-kind study suggests the worsening melting of Antarctica’s vast ice sheet could directly drive shifts in New Zealand’s local climate patterns.
Summary: ASP researchers have set sail for Antarctica on NIWA’s research vessel Tangaroa to continue research into impacts of climate change on Antarctica’s Ross Sea, and the impacts of a changing Ross Sea on the rest of the globe.
Summary: New Zealand’s Antarctic Science Platform (ASP) and Australia’s Securing Antarctica’s Environmental Future (SAEF) are pleased to open a call for proposals to conduct cooperative research activities in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean.
Summary: Antarctic Science Platform climate researchers are part of an ambitious mission to recover critical geological records to help forecast future sea-level rise. The first team members have embarked on a 1128 km journey across the Ross Ice Shelf to set up camp on the edge of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
Summary: For the Platform, the front end of the field season has an emphasis on ecological research, with teams working out on the sea ice (as well as under it).
