Scientific research

The Australian Antarctic Division leads the Australian Government’s scientific program in Antarctica.

Our research addresses critical issues including climate change , the human footprint in Antarctica, the conservation of Antarctic and Southern Ocean wildlife and the sustainable management of Southern Ocean fisheries in the face of increasing demands for fish and krill caused by human population growth.

Our diverse research program covers physical and life sciences in the atmospheric, terrestrial and marine domains, as well as human biology and medical research. It also includes long-term observational activities such as a network of meteorological facilities; ionospheric activity monitoring; seismic, magnetic and GPS networks; and hydrographic and bathymetric (seafloor) mapping.

Our research is directed by the Australian Antarctic Strategic Plan .

Our science supports Australia’s role in many international treaty bodies including the:

• Committee for Environmental Protection of the Antarctic Treaty
• Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources
• International Whaling Commission
• Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels

Projects are undertaken in Antarctica, the sub-Antarctic, on the Southern Ocean and in Australia. Antarctic science is highly collaborative, bringing together researchers from across Australia and around the world.

Mission Overview

• Location: Antarctica
• Environment: Isolation
• Hazards Tested: Hostile environment, isolation

Research Updates

• Team Dynamics Research

On October 25, 2019, two Human Research Program funded studies completed their final data collection sessions for the 2019 winter-over period at the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) McMurdo and Amundsen-Scott (South Pole) stations. These two studies were integrated into a single study protocol with procedures and measures shared between the two investigations. The final sample consisted of a total of 24 subjects, with 4 subjects at South Pole station and 20 subjects at McMurdo station, participating in the period from April to October 2019.

One study, Shared Cognitive Architectures for Long-term Exploration (SCALE), explored how social relations and team cognition are affected by isolation and confinement. This research may help enable teams to maintain and improve recall of shared knowledge and have a better understanding of the consequences of poor team performance.

A companion study to SCALE is titled Crew Recommender for Effective Work in Space (CREWS). This study uses the research data for developing a computer model that can help select the best crew team.

• Two New Immunology Studies Accepted for Antarctica Winter-Over 2020

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has accepted two immunology-focused studies for this upcoming winter-over season. Winter-over in Antarctica is roughly March through October. The first, led by Dr. Brian Crucian, will examine immunological response of subjects at the Palmer coastal station, focusing on similarities to responses seen in astronauts onboard the International Space Station (ISS). The second, led Dr. Satish Mehta, will study the effectiveness of preventative measures to suppress viral reactivation in subjects at McMurdo and Amundsen-Scott (South Pole) stations. Next steps include subject recruitment, personnel training, and logistics (e.g., shipping of consumables and medications).

The United States’ Antarctic Program (USAP) maintains McMurdo. Scientists believe that Antarctica’s climate, terrain, temperature, and isolation provide an environment on Earth that most closely parallels the conditions of isolation and stress to be faced on long-duration human missions in space. This analog provides a unique and accessible test bed to develop prototype systems and technologies for use on the Moon and Mars.

Of the three U.S. Antarctic stations, Palmer is the only one that is accessed routinely during the winter. This station has a well-equipped laboratory and provides the opportunity for study of Biological, Ornithological, Meteorological, Atmospheric, Glaciological and Marine Ecosystem science.

ANSMET is a program funded by the National Science Foundation that looks for meteorites in the Transantarctic Mountains. This geographical area serves as a collection point for meteorites that have originally fallen on the extensive high-altitude ice fields throughout Antarctica.

Update on Science Support and Infrastructure in Antarctica

April 1, 2024

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Polar Programs (OPP) recognizes that the Antarctic community is looking for promised updates on the infrastructure and logistics support to be provided by the United States Antarctic Program (USAP) for funded researchers during the 2024-2025 field season, and the status of the solicitation for proposals requesting USAP support in future seasons.   

In response to the FY 2024 appropriations, NSF is developing a budget plan that will establish the OPP budget for the remainder of FY 2024. Concurrently, OPP and USAP staff and contractors are working to develop the science and logistics plans for the next Antarctic summer field season. Once these plans are finalized, the PIs of those projects with fieldwork scheduled for 2024-2025 will be contacted and the Support Information Package (SIP) submission process initiated.  

In the June 2023 Dear Colleague Letter   NSF 23-117 , NSF announced that logistics capabilities for new and funded projects continued to be severely limited due to enduring impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, including delays to the major infrastructure upgrade work at NSF   McMurdo Station. While much progress has been made during the current field season, there remains a significant backlog of funded projects that need logistics resources between 2024 and 2026 to achieve their research objectives. For the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 field seasons, NSF will therefore focus on supporting those projects already funded.

To reduce the project backlog and achieve greater resilience for subsequent seasons, NSF will institute a hiatus in new USAP-supported fieldwork proposals in 2024. The previous solicitation NSF 23-509 has been archived and no new USAP fieldwork proposals will be solicited in Fiscal Year 2024. For the small number of projects being considered for renewal in 2024, Program Officers will contact the Principal Investigators to discuss the options available.  

OPP continues to strongly encourage   proposals   for research projects that do not require USAP resources to support fieldwork, such as projects focused on the development of theoretical tools and/or the reuse of existing data, research conducted at other locations that sheds light upon Antarctic processes, ship-borne research, and projects for which the logistics are provided by other national programs or other organizations. Projects that support early career researchers and promote diversity in the polar science workforce are particularly welcome.   

NSF remains steadfast in our commitment to supporting cutting-edge research that enhances and expands our fundamental understanding of this unique region and its interaction with other components of the Earth system. OPP will continue to provide regular updates about the challenges and opportunities associated with building a more resilient USAP through   OPP Announcements ,   the   OPP quarterly newsletter , community office hours, and the   GEO Advisory Committee .  

The U.S. National Science Foundation propels the nation forward by advancing fundamental research in all fields of science and engineering. NSF supports research and people by providing facilities, instruments and funding to support their ingenuity and sustain the U.S. as a global leader in research and innovation. With a fiscal year 2023 budget of $9.5 billion, NSF funds reach all 50 states through grants to nearly 2,000 colleges, universities and institutions. Each year, NSF receives more than 40,000 competitive proposals and makes about 11,000 new awards. Those awards include support for cooperative research with industry, Arctic and Antarctic research and operations, and U.S. participation in international scientific efforts.
