| The Scott Base, Antarctica Redevelopment Project | Matthew Jordan, The Antarctican Society | Scott Base, New Zealand’s Antarctic research base, has been manned continuously since 1957, and much of the base infrastructure since the 70’s has been replaced like-for-like without much modernization. Now science, health and safety, and environmental concerns contribute to the need for redevelopment. To meet this need, the New Zealand Government has budgeted nearly $350 million NZD ($240 million USD) to rebuild New Zealand's home in Antarctica. This will encompass replacing the aging infrastructure at Scott Base and redeveloping the Ross Island Wind Farm. To follow this project, use the following link: www.scottbaseredevelopment.govt.nz.

| LIFE ON ICE: Discovery and Exploration of Untersee Oasis, Queen Maud Land, Antarctica | Dale Andersen, Ph.D., The Antarctican Society | Lake Untersee, within the mountains of Queen Maud Land, is a world that resembles Earth's earliest biosphere. It’s like a postcard from the past; one that can help us understand how those early ecosystems thrived on a planet with an atmosphere nearly devoid of oxygen. His team seeks new knowledge that will inform us about Earth's past history and help us understand its future. His research also helps guide the search for evidence of life on other distant worlds such as Mars or the outer moons of Jupiter or Saturn, or beyond. Date of lecture: August 23, 2021. | Click Here |
