 This unit is designed to give students examples of the way science is used in the Antarctic and enable students in the Bachelor of Antarctic Studies to select specialized fields of study in years 2 and 3. These areas include:
- an understanding of Gondwana
- ice and climate studies
- the physical and chemical nature of the Southern Ocean
- the terrestrial and marine environment of the Antarctic and sub Antarctic, including plants, animals, birds and fish
- microorganisms of marine and lake environments
- the impact of humans on Antarctic, including energy use and the study of global climate change
The lecturers for this unit will come from IASOS, Schools of Zoology, Plant Science, Earth Sciences, from the Australian Antarctic Division and outside the university. Prof. Andrew McMinn will coordinate the unit.
Antarctic Studies 1B is available as both an internal and external (fully online) unit. It is recommended that Hobart students enrol in the internal unit. You should only enrol in the external unit if you are confident of your ability to work in a self-paced environment. More information
