Antarctica is a well-established space analogue environment where expeditioners face challenges similar to those experienced in human spaceflight.
Australian Antarctic Space Analogue: A research project using the Antarctic environment to study the effects of isolation, confinement, and extreme conditions on human physiology and psychology, relevant to long-duration spaceflight. Medical Model:
The presence of unique biological archives (e.g., springtails, Arthropoda: Collembola) in Antarctic ice-free regions provides powerful evidence for testing assumptions about when and how the current ice sheet reached its present-day configuration. Springtails, where present, may suggest long-term…
The Galactic cosmic ray spectrum manifests pronounced variations over the 11-year sunspot cycle and more subtle variations over the 22-year solar magnetic cycle.
The Southern Ocean Research Partnership (IWC-SORP) is a multi-lateral, non-lethal scientific research programme established in 2009 to improve the coordinated and cooperative delivery of science to the IWC. There are 13 Partners: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, France, Germany, Italy…
Echosounder data are widely collected and employed to address multitude scientific questions, from characterizing pelagic marine ecosystems, to investigating the behaviour and dynamics of marine organisms, and estimating the abundance and biomass of marine resources.
INTRODUCTION The Commission and the Scientific and Conservation Committees have adopted numerous recommendations over the years for strengthening engagement with other organisations. The IWC Secretariat, in collaboration with members of the SC and CC have been working to carry out these mandates…
Increasing levels of chemical contamination in the Antarctica environment are resulting from global and regional human activities. Unlike other areas of the world, Antarctica lacks continent-wide systematic and coordinated monitoring of contaminants. Germany, Italy, Australia, United Kingdom…
The use of molecular assays to assess the presence of species using environmental DNA (eDNA) and RNA (eRNA) as analytes has diversified as the field of environmental surveillance advances. These methods can be used, for example…
The use of environmental DNA (eDNA) and RNA (eRNA) methods is a rapidly advancing field that provides fast, cost-effective, non-invasive methods to identify the presence of target species. These methods can be used, for example…
Environmental DNA (eDNA)-based methods are increasingly used by government agencies to detect pests and threatened species, and for broader biodiversity monitoring. Given rapid technological advances and a growing number of commercial service providers…
A workshop on future Australian-Japanese Antarctic cooperation was held on 12 June 2008 to exchange scientific information and to initiate a dialog to explore the way forward to further enhance and strengthen collaboration in Antarctic science between the two nations.
A simplified three dimensional, time-dependant model of a local region of Earth's thermosphere is being developed to investigate dynamical processes occurring over spatial scales of less than 100 km. Because hydrostatic equilibrium is not enforced in the model…
