International Partnerships in Antarctic Science

19 May 2022
The scientific questions around Antarctica’s future are too urgent to be tackled by one nation alone. This session will address the need for international cooperation to answer the continent’s biggest scientific questions, and the benefits and challenges of coordinating across multiple international partners.

Accounting for Greenhouse Gases:
Antarctica in the Global Climate Response
![](https://aappartnership.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Forum-4-Opening-Slide.png)
25 November 2021
As the global response to climate change enters a new phase, the target of net-zero emissions requires nations to accurately measure and account for greenhouse gas emissions. Society and political leaders will need access to the best possible scientific observations, long-term climate models, and robust mechanisms for measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions.

How will the cryosphere contribute to changes in sea level in the near-to-medium term?
What are the relative contributions of ocean-driven melting, gravitational self attraction, isostatic adjustment, and catastrophic ice shelf collapse? Where should the science focus?
How can research better meet the needs of end-users in the policy and planning arenas?
How should our planners and policymakers respond, given the current uncertainties around future sea-level rise?

Wednesday 23 June 2021
Australia’s water infrastructure policies and preparations are based on an understanding of climate extremes observed during the past 120 years of instrumental recordings.
Given the limited range of instrumental climate data for Australia, what does it mean when extreme climate events are described as ‘unprecedented’?
In our second Antarctic Policy & Research Forum, three speakers discussed the ways that these two branches of science - hydrology and palaeoclimatology - are coming together to build a clearer picture of the true risk of extreme climate events in Australia.

25 February 2021
The Australian Antarctic Program Partnership held its first Antarctic Policy & Research Forum on 25 February 2021. This forum was led by the Australian Antarctic Division's Territories, Environment and Treaties team and aimed at bridging the gaps that exists between the Antarctic science and policy arenas, by fostering productive conversations between policy-experts, end users and scientists.
