Case study: Enhanced data sharing capability for Antarctica and the Southern Ocean
Authors: Antarctic Science Platform
Year Published: 2024
Document Type:
Case Studies, Science
Summary: New Zealand now has an informative and searchable inventory of Antarctic and Southern Ocean research datasets.
Case study: Biological data informs Ross Sea marine ecosystem management
Authors: Antarctic Science Platform
Year Published: 2024
Document Type:
Case Studies, Science
Summary: The Antarctic Science Platform supports Aotearoa New Zealand’s commitment to be a research leader in the Ross Sea region Marine Protected Area.
Case study: Developing the next generation of Antarctic and Southern Ocean researchers
Authors: Antarctic Science Platform
Year Published: 2024
Document Type:
Case Studies, Science
Summary: Examples of how the Antarctic Science Platform is sustaining and growing human capabilities in this strategic priority science area.
Case study: Scaling up vessel-based research in the Ross Sea
Authors: Antarctic Science Platform
Year Published: 2024
Document Type:
Case Studies, Science
Summary: Showcasing New Zealand’s collaboration with international partners to coordinate Southern Ocean and Ross Sea research.
Case study: First fully coupled ocean-atmosphere model for the Ross Sea
Year Published: 2023
Document Type:
Case Studies
Ownership: Antarctic Science Platform
Summary: A new modelling tool developed by Antarctic Science Platform researchers accurately represents ocean-atmosphere-sea ice interactions in the Ross Sea, which is critical for reducing uncertainty in the assessment of future climate scenarios.
Case study: Filter-feeding sponges as eDNA traps to monitor marine biodiversity baselines and change
Year Published: 2023
Document Type:
Case Studies
Ownership: Antarctic Science Platform
Summary: A new environmental monitoring technique developed by Antarctic Science Platform researchers uses filter-feeding sponges as natural environmental DNA (eDNA) samplers. This technique has been successfully demonstrated to monitor the marine biodiversity and biogeography in the Antarctic and Southern Ocean and to identify changes. This new approach will support the monitoring ambitions of the Ross Sea region Marine Protected Area.
Case study: Detecting polynya from space
Year Published: 2023
Document Type:
Case Studies
Ownership: Antarctic Science Platform
Summary: Antarctic Science Platform researchers are using satellite data to determine the spatial extent of polynya with better accuracy, which unlocks the ability to quantify their role in large-scale processes, such as sea-ice formation, ocean circulation and their impact on marine ecosystems.
Case study: New Antarctic Ice Sheet data contributes to policy and planning
Year Published: 2023
Document Type:
Case Studies
Ownership: Antarctic Science Platform
Summary: The Antarctic Science Platform is generating improved, data-constrained models that are being used for planning and adaptation decision-making measures to manage the impacts of future sea level rise on Aotearoa and Antarctica.
