Scientists call for chemical pollution monitoring in Antarctica to support global chemical policy
Research highlights chemical pollution monitoring frameworks lacking in Antarctic and Southern Ocean region.

New research has highlighted the need for continuous air monitoring in the Antarctic after findings revealed a spike in pollutants following the installation of a new station building.
Humpback whales across the southern hemisphere are being used as indicators of environmental and climatic change in Antarctica through Griffith University led research.
Whales are swimming further than previously estimated - up to 20% more - according to a new study.
11,000kg of blubber lost during annual humpback migrations - equivalent to energy obtained after consuming 57,000kg of Antarctic krill.
Species heavily impacted by climate change and humans over a short evolutionary period.
Griffith whale expert's Antarctica journey yeilds better understanding on climate impacts on whales.
Research finds increasing global concurrent climate extremes pose large risks to society and ecosystems.
Antarctica is both a physical locality and an imaginary possibility – as a pivot around which the world turns, it has proven historically to be a space where human ideas of exploration, investigation and fantasy have played out.
Hopes tracking whale movements towards Antarctic will yield insights into adaptation to climate change.
