2025 AAPP Workshop in pictures

16 October 2025

The Australian Antarctic Program Partnership (AAPP) held its annual workshop in Hobart on 14-15 October, marking a halfway point in the ten-year program that started in 2019.

Over two days, about one hundred students, staff and collaborators reviewed AAPP’s progress over the last six years and looked to the future of fieldwork and research projects.

AAPP leader Prof Delphine Lannuzel said the workshop was lively, collaborative and inspiring.

“Looking back on our work so far, we can see how the research projects are maturing and cross-disciplinary links are strengthening.”

“We have built a strong foundation for ongoing and future work that continues to resolve the key roles of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean in the global climate system,” she said.

The workshop opened with a presentation from Chief Scientist of the Australian Antarctic Division, Prof Nerilie Abram, about the Australian Antarctic Science Decadal Strategy 2025–2035.

Chair of AAPP’s Management Committee, Sue Weston, provided an overview of the Australian Antarctic Science Council.

Leaders of AAPP’s seven research projects highlighted their scientific achievements and where the projects are heading.

Fieldwork leaders presented the work of six major field campaigns, and previewed upcoming projects for the next few years including Australian contributions to Antarctica InSync.
