Data collection facilitated by remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) has proven to be revolutionary in many disciplines including for research in extreme environments. Here we assess current use and utility of small multirotor remotely piloted aircraft (RPAs)…
There are many advantages to transitioning from conducting marine wildlife surveys via human observers onboard light-aircraft, to capturing aerial imagery using drones. However, it is important to maintain the validity of long-term data series whilst transitioning from observer to imagery surveys.
During the 2009/2010 summer field season a comprehensive environmental impact assessment (EIA) of the sewage discharge at Davis Station, East Antarctica was conducted. As part of this EIA, a preliminary histopathological survey of the gills and liver in the emerald rock cod (Trematomus bernacchii)…
The Phase A design study of PILOT|the Pathnder for an … International Large Optical Telescope|has demonstrated that a wide- … eld 2.5 m optical/IR telescope can be constructed at Concordia for a … reasonable cost. There are no technical \show stoppers"…
Construction of PILOT at the existing French/Italian Con- … cordia Station at Dome C in Antarctica would bring about major bene- … ts for the astronomical research activities of the European and interna- … tional astronomical communities. Because of these potential benets…
PILOT (the Pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope) is a proposed 2.5-m optical/ … infrared telescope to be located at Dome C on the Antarctic plateau. Conditions at Dome C are known to … be exceptional for astronomy. The seeing (above ¡30m height), coherence time…
PILOT (the Pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope) is a proposed 2.5-m optical/ … infrared telescope to be located at Dome C on the Antarctic plateau. The atmospheric conditions at Dome C … deliver a high sensitivity, high photometric precision, wide-field, high spatial resolution…

With the development of next generation aircraft designs capable of ultralong-range flight and … extended flight endurance…
The use of sophisticated telemetry logging devices has revealed that short-finned pilot whales employ … energetic sprints to chase down their deep-dwelling prey. These sprints are costly in terms of energy, and therefore oxygen…
We highlight the operational challenges and planned solutions faced by an optical observatory taking advantage of the … superior astronomical observing potential of the Antarctic plateau. Unique operational aspects of an Antarctic optical … observatory arise from its remoteness…
PILOT (the Pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope) is a proposed Australian/European optical/infrared … telescope for Dome C on the Antarctic Plateau, with target first light in 2012. The telescope is 2.4m diameter, with … overall focal ratio f/10, and a 1 degree field-of-view.

In this paper we review the progress towards the deployment … of a large "PILOT-like" telescope at Concordia Station, Dome C. PI- … LOT is a proposed 2.4m optical/IR telescope that will cost in excess … of EUR 10m…
ABSTRACT: Collisions with vessels are a well-documented conservation problem for some populations of large whales (LW) in the Northern Hemisphere. Less attention has been given to incidents in the Southern Hemisphere or to small cetaceans … (SC) worldwide…
Australia’s Antarctic territory contains several hydrocarbon-contaminated sites of varying size and severity as a result of fifty years of human activities in the region. Contaminated site remediation in Antarctica is more challenging than in Australia.
