Australia claims 42% of Antarctica, including two world-heritage-listed sub- Antarctic Islands, and it plays an important role in Antarctic governance. The continent is 98% ice-covered, and protecting Australia and the Pacific from climate change means protecting Antarctica’s ice from melting.
Presentations:
- New tools for remote monitoring of Antarctic Ecosystems (Sharon Robinson AM & Melinda Waterman & Johan Barthélemy from NVIDIA).
- The eco-climate nexus: Interrogating Antarctica’s ecosystems with spatial- statistical inferences (Noel Cressie FAA & Andrew Zammit Mangion.
- Regulating the Frozen South: Australia and the Antarctic Treaty System (Stuart Kaye OAM & Constance Johnson).
