Sustainable energy at the 100 W level for scientific sites on the

The AGOs are a collection of remote, unmanned platforms for geophysical monitoring on the Antarctic plateau. Figure 1 shows the active AGO locations. Each AGO site has a fiberglass shelter approximately 5 m × 2.5 m × 2.5 m (length × width × height) in size to house scientific instruments and basic living accommodations; the latter of which are used for

Environment policy and management

Australia''s Antarctic environmental policies and practices are underpinned by a complex framework of legislative and administrative requirements, supported by scientific research and principally led by programs conducted by the AAD.

Issue 34: June 2018

Michel Abi Saab, Manager of Sustainability at Masdar — an energy efficiency and renewable energy company based in Abu Dhabi — visited Casey research station in February, accompanied by Australian Antarctic Division Infrastructure Engineer, David Waterhouse. Together the pair surveyed energy and water use on the station and options for savings.

New Seawater Pathways Discovered around Antarctica

The program is called Marine Mammals Exploring the Oceans Pole to Pole (MEOP) and the data collected are publicly available to researchers. Combining this data with that from the Thompson lab''s undersea ocean gliders, Flexas and her team collected information on properties like ocean temperature, salinity, oxygen content, and the concentration

A blueprint for mapping melting ice sheets

Researchers in the Stanford Radio Glaciology lab use radio waves to understand rapidly changing ice sheets and their contributions to global sea-level rise. This technique has revealed groundwater beneath Greenland, the long-term impacts of extreme melt, a process that could accelerate ice sheet mass loss in Antarctica, the potential instability of an

Melting Horizons: A DCSEU Program Manager''s Eye-Opening

Seeing these impacts firsthand reinforced the urgency behind our work at DCSEU. We know our programs help our community by lowering energy bills and making properties safer and healthier. But our work also has a global impact, reducing DC''s greenhouse gases and lessening climate impacts on fragile ecosystems throughout the world like Antarctica.

Antarctic climate – Australian Antarctic Program

The main focus of the research is to address uncertainties identified by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in particular, the lack of climate data from the Southern Ocean, the sea ice zone and Antarctica in general. It also noted a need for greater understanding of the role the region may have in slowing the rate of climate change and of the future behaviour of
