As part of their ecosystem research, the UoC has developed an infrared and visible camera system (a thermal bird) for aerial surveying of different Antarctic surface environments. Read more about this research here: bit.ly/3L4QLfr 📷 Eva Bendix Nielsen

The ASP is seeking a Deputy Director to provide strategic vision and leadership for the design, development and implementation of the second phase of Antarctic Science Platform research and funding for 2025-2032. View more about the role here: bit.ly/3Rntvgn

Antarctic sea ice is at an extreme low, with 20% lower winter coverage than normal. Hear more from experts about this rapidly evolving situation. For more info on registration, scan the QR code or visit bit.ly/3LHUjoa

New Zealand scientists have convened an emergency summit today to address the record-low levels of Antarctic sea ice. They have called for an urgent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions to keep the climate within liveable conditions. ow.ly/9Rbc50PSfXo 📷 Kylie Wood

Eat, sleep, drive, repeat! 🚙 The traverse to Kamb Ice Stream has been underway for almost 11 days, making steady progress toward their destination. Any good advice for passing the time on a long journey? Let the team know in the comments below!

Happy campers! 🛩️ All members of the SWAIS2C deep field drilling camp have successfully arrived at Kamb Ice Stream on the Siple Coast. We thank the team for their commitment and Mahi so far and are rooting for them over the holiday season! SWAIS2C 📷 Anthony Powell

2C Tuesday! 🧊 As you set off on your warm camping holidays this Christmas, the SWAIS2C scientists will spend a chilly summer on the ice at the deep field camp located at the Kamb Ice Stream on the Siple Coast. Can you guess which tent belongs to the loud snorer in the group? 💤

Merry KIS-mas from the SWAIS2C drilling camp at Kamb Ice Stream on the Siple Coast! 🎅 ow.ly/KZKA50QklXf 📷 Anthony Powell #Antarctica #SWAIS2C #RossIceShelf

In collaboration with the Italian Antarctic Research Programme on a voyage to the Ross Sea, 12 members of the New Zealand team have joined Italian collaborators on the RV Laura Bassi for a 2-month voyage of discovery in the Southern Ocean. 🛥️ 📷 Craig Stevens

From obtaining the longest sediment core ever from the Siple Coast to gathering vital oceanographic measurements, here’s the SWAIS2C end-of-season wrap from Richard Levy (GNS and Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington) 🎥 R Levy, A Powell AntarcticaNewZealand, O Twigge NIWA  i.mtr.cool/iuousyxnif

A fantastic result from the team!

Craig’s dedication to understanding the mysteries of our planet knew no bounds, and his contributions to science leave an indelible mark. Read the full tribute here: antarcticscienceplatform.org.nz/updates/tribut… The University of Waikato 🎓

Sail into the heart of Antarctica's largest sea ice factory with us, where 12 Kiwi researchers onboard the Laura Bassi saw sea ice retreat first hand, collected sediment cores and studied coastal ecosystems in the Ross Sea region MPA. 📽️ Lana Young NIWA Antarctic Science Platform

SWAIS2C researchers have had their first glimpse of the sediment cores obtained from the seafloor deep under the Ross Ice Shelf last summer, an important step in the hunt for clues about the past behaviour of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet 👉i.mtr.cool/uhybvsickh

The Platform is seeking a Kaiārahi Rangahau Māori. The role is to encourage, grow and enhance Mātauranga Māori research and collaborative research between Māori and Antarctic scientists. Expressions of interest are open here: antarcticscienceplatform.org.nz/updates/expres…

The Scott Base crew have started installing the University of Otago’s Sea Ice Monitoring station, 3km south-west of Observation Hill. It's part of Antarctic Science Platform's sea ice and carbon cycles project, building on a 20-year record of annual sea-ice growth observations. 📸 Catherine Kircher

Looking forward to tuning in tonight on Three at 7pm! The work below is part of the Project 3 research project 🎥
