• Calculating geothermal heat flux in Antarctica and evaluating its impact on the cryosphere 

  Miller, Anne (2018)

  Geothermal heat flux (GHF) is an essential boundary condition that has a dynamic influence over ice sheet mass balance. Difficulties associated with obtaining GHF measurements in ice covered regions mean that GHF in ...

• Ecological impacts of plastic ingestion by Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic seabirds 

  Rees, Olivia (University of Canterbury, 2018)

  Antarctica, and the Southern Ocean, is considered to be the last ‘untouched wilderness’ on Earth. Yet marine species there are in decline and this is largely due to anthropogenic impacts. Plastic pollution in the world’s ...

• Antarctica’s fifth age? Some supporting evidence 

  Frame, Bob (University of Canterbury, 2018)

  Ten years ago, Alan Hemmings proposed that Antarctica had entered a Fifth Age identified by a much more complex global context. This paper examines evidence from recent biophysical and socio-economic literature on the ...

• Viruses contribute more to Antarctica than the common cold: a review on viral importance in Antarctic lakes 

  Kringen, Tayele (University of Canterbury, 2018)

  The role viruses play in mediating the ecology of Antarctic lakes is vastly underrepresented and the effects climate change may have on these roles is widely unknown. At the microbial level viruses are involved in the ...

• Digital conservation in Antarctica 

  Gillies, Tasman Turoa (University of Canterbury, 2018)

  Science and conservation are of paramount importance in Antarctica as they are founding principles of the Antarctic Treaty, the contributions internationally by governments to both scientific research and conservation ...
