NZAS Auckland Branch: What is going on in Antarctica?

Fraser Morgan, Chief Scientist (Acting) for Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research will speak about the "Biogeography to Human Activity - 15 years of Antarctic science supporting New Zealand's Antarctic policy."
With research that ranges from biogeographic frameworks; human activity and impacts; species modelling; to the interactive visualisations of the continent, the core aspect of his research has been to support the more effective and timely management of Antarctica through the Antarctic Treaty system. In this talk, Fraser will cover the variety of research he has undertaken over the last 15 plus years in Antarctica. He will also highlight the importance of Science within the Antarctic Treaty system and vice versa.
