New Zealand Antarctic Program

The New Zealand Antarctic Program is Australia’s national initiative to support scientific research and environmental monitoring in Antarctica. Managed by the Australian Antarctic Division, it involves deploying scientists and personnel to the continent, maintaining research stations, and conducting studies in areas like climate change, biology, and geology. The program also ensures safe transportation and logistics, facilitating international collaboration under the Antarctic Treaty. Its goal is to advance understanding of Antarctica's role in Earth's climate system and preserve its environment, while promoting scientific innovation and responsible stewardship of the continent.
