Cosmic ray monitoring at Mawson and Kingston to study space weather and space physics RUFFOLO, Prof. David Australia (or home country), Mawson

The program monitors the cosmic rays that constantly bombard Earth's atmosphere, producing secondary particles that are effectively and cheaply measured by a neutron monitor and muon telescopes at Mawson, Antarctica and Kingston.

Conservation Planning for Antarctic Stations JABOUR, Dr Julia Australia (or home country)

Many Antarctic stations are built in coastal areas of high conservation significance, which can be compromised by a station's operations.

Long term monitoring of status and trends of Emperor penguins and Southern giant petrels: a comparative study WIENECKE, Dr Barbara Casey, Davis, Mawson, Australia (or home country)

Different animals respond specifically to threats. This project will assess long term responses to environmental change and human activities in winter-breeding Emperor Penguins and summer breeding Southern Giant Petrels (SGPs).

Antarctic subglacial carbonates as archives of subglacial volcanism and Life in extreme conditions. FRISIA, A/Prof. Silvia Australia (or home country)

Calcium carbonate deposits formed under the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) at peak glacial conditions contain information about both the existence of life-sustaining environments at the ice-bedrock interface and processes that generate basal meltwater.

Modelling Sea Ice at High Resolution HOGG, A/Prof. Andrew (Andy) Australia (or home country)

Antarctic sea ice controls climate change and variability in the Southern Hemisphere, and also limits shipping in the Antarctic region, posing a safety risk to operations.

Ecological research and monitoring to improve management strategies and conservation outcomes for Antarctic breeding seabirds EMMERSON, Dr Louise Other Antarctic Location (Territory of Heard Island and McDonald Islands), Casey, Davis, Mawson

Seabirds are useful indicators of change in the Southern Ocean because of their links to terrestrial and marine environments where they breed and forage. They also have their own conservation needs.

Unveiling the terrestrial eukaryote diversity of Antarctica CHOWN, Prof. Steven Australia (or home country)

The terrestrial eukaryote diversity of Antarctica is more poorly known than its marine counterpart. In part, this is due to the absence of a current inventory of terrestrial diversity. This project aims to provide such an inventory.

Monitoring of the Atmosphere over the Australian and Antarctic regions using GNSS radio occultation NORMAN, Dr Robert Australia (or home country)

This study will first simulate, then verify and ultimately use data from the next generation Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Radio Occultation (RO) technique for meteorological forecasting and climate analysis over the Australian and Antarctic regions.

Tectonics Erosion and Topography in East Antarctica. AITKEN, Dr Alan Australia (or home country)

East Antarctica's subglacial topography is incredibly high and rugged for a stable continent. This frontier science proposal seeks to understand the drivers of this unusual topography, which are little studied and remain essentially unknown.

The Kerguelen Large Igneous Province: dynamics of a pulsating mantle plume JOURDAN, A/Prof. Fred Australia (or home country)

Large igneous provinces (LIPs) are formed from massive outpourings of lava in geologically short periods of time (1 to 5 million years). As a result, they are at times associated with extinctions of life on Earth.
