  • Scientific Information 2001/2002 Annual New Zealand
    Scientific Information 2001/2002 Annual New Zealand Forward Plans LGP The Latitudinal Gradient Project (LGP) is aimed at increasing the understanding of the coastal marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems that exist along the Victoria Land coastline in the Ross Sea region, and describing potential environmental variability that may occur in the future. Antarctica New Zealand is providing the logistical capabilities for research camps to be located at specific sites along the Victoria Land coast. Thus, the opportunity to work at particular locations in collaboration with other scientists from various disciplines and National Antarctic Programmes is provided. LGP has been formally incorporated into the SCAR programme RiSCC (Regional Sensitivity to Climate Change). Certain data collected within the LGP will be housed and made available within the RiSCC database framework. Details on how the data will be shared and the timing of when the data will be made available have yet to be decided. It is intended that publications arising from the LGP will be published in a special issue of a refereed journal. Research under the LGP will be both ship-based and land-based. At present, ship-based research, funded under the Ministry of Fisheries’ BioRoss programme and the Italian Antarctic Programme, has been scheduled for January to March 2004 with a research voyage planned using two vessels aimed at supporting near-shore and deep-water marine research. The vessels dedicated to this research are NIWA’s RV Tangaroa, and the Italian Antarctic Programme’s RV Italica. Further information about the ship-based research can be found in the BioRoss research plan and in the BioRoss call for statements of interest.

  • Analysis of Ponting's Photography
    3: Analysis of Ponting’s photography The aim of this study is to address a deficiency in close analysis of Ponting’s images by studying relevant literature, as has been done in Chapter 2, and by examining Ponting’s photographs and film, which will be done now. A visual semiotics methodology is used, based on a combination of discourse analysis (Gee 1990, 2005) and visual analysis (Kress & van Leeuwen 2006). Ponting’s book is also used to enable fuller understanding. Overall, the images and the book form a synergistic relationship, the different codes, visual and verbal, each enhancing the understanding of the other (Hodge & Kress 1983), so that the total effect is greater than the sum of the individual ones. Ponting’s work in Antarctica was different from his previous assignments. While the overall task was similar to that involved in his photography in Japan, India and other lands, Antarctica represented a greater commitment in time, an isolated location, more arduous conditions, and huge technical challenges. In place of local inhabitants, he was depicting a small, highly specialised and purpose- directed microcosm of British society and culture, mostly from naval and scientific contexts, in an uninhabited land. His role in the expedition was functional, but he intended to generate post-expedition income for himself by exhibiting and lecturing on his work, and this influenced his selection of subjects and the way he presented them. There are a very large number of stills, and the focus here is on a representative selection: landscapes, portraits, activities (individual and group, work-related and recreational), and wildlife photographs.

An orange box of a cabin sits alone on a sweeping snow prairie. At odd angles from it is a matrix of posts and wires, like a clothesline waiting for washday. And in the field on the other side, someone pulls a small plow back and forth all day long behind a snow machine. Scott Freeman, part of the team maintaining the AGO sites, even calls himself a snow farmer, for all the hours and days he's spent towing the groomer. "You're just out in this flat, white plain with lots of time to think," Freeman said. "There's very little evidence of the hand of humans." Humans are hardly ever at the six AGOs scattered across the most remote regions of Antarctica.

  • Entomological Investigations in Antarctica
    Pacific Insects 5 (1) : 287-304 April 30, 1963 ENTOMOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS IN ANTARCTICA By J. L. Gressitt, R. E. Leech and K. A. J. Wise BERNICE P. BISHOP MUSEUM, HONOLULU Abstract: During the Antarctic summer seasons of 1959-60, 1960-61, 61-62 entomolo­ gical studies have been carried out on the Antarctic continent and some neighboring islands by teams from Bishop Museum, on the U. S. Antarctic Research Program. Work was done in Victoria Land, Beardmore area, Ross I., Little America, Thurston I., Antarctic Peninsula, South Shetland Is., Macquarie I., Campbell I. and elsewhere. About 20 free-living and about 18 ectoparasitic species of arthropods were found in Antarctica proper, and larger numbers on subantarctic islands and in the air-borne trapping program, largely at sea. INTRODUCTION This report concerns work done on the Antarctic continent and nearby islands during the 1959-60, 1960-61, and 1961-62 southern summer seasons. Work in progress during the 1962-63 season will be reported upon later. Also, work done by Dr. H. Janetschek will be reported separately. One of the major objectives of work to date has been the study of natural dispersal of arthropods by air currents. Preliminary reports on this work have al­ ready been published (Gressitt, Leech & O'Brien, 1960; Gressitt, Sedlacek, Wise & Yoshi­ moto, 1961 ; Gressitt, R. E. Leech, T. S. Leech, Sedlacek & Wise, 1961 ; Yoshimoto, Gressitt & Mitchell, 1962). Also, some general treatments of antarctic and subantarctic zoogeogra­ phy, bibliography and ecology have been prepared (Gressitt & Weber, 1960; Gressitt & Pryor, 1961; Gressitt & Leech, 1961; Gressitt, 1960, 1961a, 1961b, in press; Gressitt & Yoshimoto, in press).
