New Zealand Alliance for Antarctic Research
Three New Zealand organizations, GNS Science(a government-owned research institution), Victoria University of Wellington and the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) have signed an agreement to expand collaborative research into the climate of the Antarctic and its influence on the Earth system.
The new alliance acknowledges, in particular, the increasing collaboration in climate research based on information derived from ice and sediment cores. It also reflects the synergies of ice, ocean, and climate models in testing scientific findings.
