The Southern Ocean Platinum Sponsor
The Australian Antarctic Program Partnership is a $50 million research program funded from 2019 to 2029.
The AAPP improves our understanding of the role of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean within the global climate system and the implications for marine ecosystems.
Through collaborative integrated science, the AAPP aims to inform timely policy responses to climate change.
The AAPP is funded by the Australian Government Department of Industry, Science and Resources, led by the University of Tasmania.

The Australian Research Council (ARC) Australian Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Science (ACEAS) is a collaboration between Australian universities, government agencies and international research institutions.
The objective of ACEAS is to help communities to prepare for climate risks emerging from East Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. ACEAS will do this by integrating knowledge of the region’s ocean, atmosphere, cryosphere and ecosystems.
Led by the University of Tasmania the program commenced in 2021 and is funded to run until 2025. The program will grow to 37 postdoctoral investigators and 24 PhD candidates.

The mission of the ITU/WMO/UNESCO-IOC Joint Task Force (JTF) for Science Monitoring And Reliable Telecommunications (SMART) Cables is to have sensors integrated into subsea telecommunications cables become the world standard, leading to a global network for sustained ocean observation, geophysical study of earthquakes, and earthquake and tsunami warning in a world with rising sea levels.
The JTF is working towards contributing to observing the Southern Ocean by connecting the four southern hemisphere continents with SMART Cables.
