Our Research
Our expedition is a multidisiplinary mix of established and emerging scientists. Our large expedition team is split across five research areas and will have the assistance of a technical support team.
Research Areas
Terrestrial Ecology
Deciphering the epic biological story of plants and invertebrates in the face of climatic, biotic, anthropogenic and evolutionary change. |
Freshwater Ecology
Unravelling the mysteries of the freshwater environs, nutrient subsides, and past climatic and environmental changes. |
|
Geology
Examining the glacial-like geomorphic features to determine their likely origin, age, and impact on the landscape and flora. |
History and Archaeology
Providing a qualified and thorough assessment of historic sites, and a search for pre-European contact. |
|
Human Interactions
How humans relate to, and reshape, their natural environment. |
Technical assistance
Base-camp management, communications, safety, search and rescue, and helping to engender a spirit of common purpose. |
