Understanding and mitigating (#remediaton) the risk of contaminants under the unique conditions of the Antarctic requires a multi-disciplinary approach. Read more here on the collaborative research between human impacts & remediation scientists at antarctica.gov.au and @Rmit.

Snowy and wild #wildernessfirstaid training on Kunanyi/Mount Wellington with members of the antarctica.gov.au human impacts and remediation team. Great opportunity to practice a massive range of realistic “scenarios” for both work and play. Great fun too.

The Brazilian govt. has granted R$ 2M (≈ US$ 533K) to equip scientific labs on the new Ferraz station, to be inaugurated in Jan 2020. Altogether, the new base will have 16 labs maintained by the Ministry of Science & Technology and one by Fiocruz in English: mctic.gov.br/mctic/opencms/

Mawson station’s Rumdoodle Hut must be a contender for ‘best’ field hut in #Antarctica with a recent reno, after a blizzard wrought near-destruction. Boasting spectacular views of the Framnes Mountains, it’s a bucket-list destination. antarctica.gov.au/living-and-wor

“I promise you, there are no projects in Antarctica where the equipment works perfectly” Anyone have any great “MacGyver” type quick fix stories for equipment in the field? nytimes.com/2020/05/02/sci

The world’s most advanced #Antarctic icebreaker, #science & resupply ship, RSV #Nuyina is here! Hobart residents in COVID lockdown had a waterside view as the 160 m ship made its historic passage up the River Derwent early this morning. Read more here: antarctica.gov.au/nuyina/stories
