Summary: Researchers are using high temporal resolution Global Navigation Satellite Systems receivers to monitor the health of the northwestern Ross Ice Shelf.
Summary: Join our team! The Kaiārahi Rangahau Māori role is to encourage, grow and enhance Mātauranga Māori research and collaborative research between Māori and Antarctic scientists.
Summary: A recent study found that minimising ocean-driven melting through reduced emissions or geoengineering is essential to prevent serious future sea level rise.
Summary: Researchers are using custom-built instruments to monitor ice shelf melting in a rapidly melting region of the Ross Ice Shelf, surrounding Ross Island. After a successful 2023/24 Antarctic field season, all instruments are now operational.
Summary: Sediment cores retrieved from Antarctica’s Siple Coast last summer were carefully opened and examined at a recent workshop at the Otago Repository for Core Analysis (ORCA), an important step in the hunt for clues about the past behaviour of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
Summary: New Zealand’s Antarctic community is invited to participate in the design and development of a second phase of the Antarctic Science Platform.
