Antarctic Report

The Antarctic Report is a New Zealand-based publication dedicated to reporting on "the hard science which underlines the importance of Antarctica as a bellwether of global climate change." The website emerged from World Science Week, a 2014 conference in Auckland, New Zealand where scientists, researchers, and governmental science advisors from around the world gathered for a series of summits. On this website, visitors can learn about research and news related to Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. For instance, one recent article explores the use of long-range drones to study the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. Another article shares the Antarctic Treaty. Drafted in 1959, this treaty stipulated that Antarctica "shall continue forever to be used exclusively for peaceful purposes and shall not become the scene or object of international discord" - making the continent a highly unique space. Visitors interested in learning more about this aspect of Antarctica will want to check out the Reference section, where pieces discuss Antarctic history, geography, and policy.
