The Distinguished Professors Alliance was established in 2024. As part of our commitment to the global research standing of UOW and facilitating opportunities for our EMCRs on the global stage, we are hosting two events in 2025.

Australia claims 42% of Antarctica, including two world-heritage-listed sub- Antarctic Islands, and it plays an important role in Antarctic governance. The continent is 98% ice-covered, and protecting Australia and the Pacific from climate change means protecting Antarctica’s ice from melting.
Presentations:
- New tools for remote monitoring of Antarctic Ecosystems (Sharon Robinson AM & Melinda Waterman & Johan Barthélemy from NVIDIA).
- The eco-climate nexus: Interrogating Antarctica’s ecosystems with spatial- statistical inferences (Noel Cressie FAA & Andrew Zammit Mangion.
- Regulating the Frozen South: Australia and the Antarctic Treaty System (Stuart Kaye OAM & Constance Johnson).
