G 056: Finding the missing dipole signal in global pale...

The geomagnetic field is decreasing rapidly, leading some to propose that it will undergo collapse followed by a return to its usual strength but in the opposite direction, a phenomenon known as a "polarity reversal" which last happened about 800,000 year ...

G 062: EAGER: Single-molecule sequencing of Antarctic p...

Despite recent advances, we still know little about how life and its traces persist in extremely harsh conditions. What survival strategies do cells employ when pushed to their limit? During this field season, researchers will sample paleolake facies usin ...

G 071: Middle-late Devonian vertebrates of Antarctica

Understanding the relationships and history of sharks, fish, and limbed animals forms the backbone for both basic and applied science because fish often serve as models of human traits and diseases. Some of the main lines of evidence for these relationshi ...

G 078: Dry Valley seismic project

The Dry Valley seismic project monitors regional and global seismicity. The Dry Valleys' stations are part of the Air Force Technical Applications Center’s (AFTAC) southern network, which accumulates near-real-time data from nine locations in the Southe ...

G 091: Friis Hills drilling project: An international c...

Ancient and well-preserved glacial lake sediments have proven to be a valuable terrestrial paleoclimate record in Antarctica. For this project, a U.S. research team will join scientists supported by Antarctica New Zealand (ANZ) to reconstruct past climate ...

K001-1617-A: Neogene Terrestrial Climate Reconstruction...

New Zealand’s Past Antarctic Climate – Future Implications research programme is a collaboration between GNS Science, Victoria University of Wellington, the University of Otago, NIWA, and the University of Canterbury that aims to examine the effect of ...
