This event from Te Aparangi Royal Society may be of interest to members:
Royal Society Te Aparangi is delighted to offer a talk and presentation by Dr Kaitlyn Martin on Wednesday 17 July at 6:00pm at the Society.
Dr Kaitlyn Martin was selected by Royal Society Te Apārangi as one of 22 young New Zealanders to travel with the Antarctic Heritage Trust to an island in the South Atlantic Ocean in late 2023. The group journeyed to South Georgia to honour the centenary year of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s final expedition, the ‘Quest’. Come and hear Kaitlyn talk about her ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ experience.
Kaitlyn will introduce you to some of South Georgia’s inspirational inhabitants, including seals, penguins, and majestic bird species, as well as its rich marine biodiversity. She will also talk about the impact climate change is having on the island. Some beautiful photos will be shown also.

The ICSHMO series began in the early 1980s and for over 40 years has provided a unique venue for discussion of the science of the Southern Hemisphere. All things south of the Equator are topics for discussion at ICSHMO meetings: oceans, ice, weather, climate, advances in science and technology, human interactions with the environment, and reflections on the history of our science. The ICSHMO conferences bring together a special family of researchers from across the Southern Hemisphere and beyond. The 14th conference, to be held in South Africa in 2025, will be an in- person meeting only to facilitate networking and engagement which is so important for developing new research opportunities, and for providing opportunities for early-career professionals. The website with conference details, and more detailed programme will be made available later in 2024. The committee welcomes all contributions on Southern Hemisphere weather, ocean, and climate science. Enquiries: icshmo2025@saeon.nrf.ac.za
