Antarctica New Zealand has released its 23-24 Annual Report.

The report sets out the Crown Entity’s strategic priorities, how these have been achieved and its financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024.

Here are some of the highlights and milestones from the year, broken down by strategic priorities.

Maintaining our presence

• With research events back to pre-Covid levels, Scott Base was a bustling hub of staff, researchers, construction workers and media from October through February. Our winter-over teams either side of summer ensured Aotearoa New Zealand maintained its continuous presence on the ice.
• There were no serious injuries on the ice and our team demonstrated a strong commitment to health and safety and continuous improvement.
• The Scott Base Redevelopment is a major project for Antarctica New Zealand. This year, the Board confronted the fact that the project was not going to be delivered within budget and paused to undertake an options analysis and then an independent review. Subsequently, Antarctica New Zealand has stepped away from the three-building design and large modular construction methodology and is now focusing on constructing new infrastructure using conventional methods and refurbishing to

Transcriptomic Responses to Darkness and the Survival Strategy of the Kelp Saccharina latissima in the Early Polar Night

Introduction

Kelps are perennial macroalgae with high economic and ecological significance. They are important primary producers and provide food and shelter for numerous organisms in the marine ecosystem (Bischof et al., 2019). Kelps show a broad geographical distribution from cold-temperate to Arctic coastlines. Compared to the kelps in temperate regions, kelps in the Arctic face a harsher physical environment due to the high latitude. The Arctic features strong, seasonal fluctuating solar radiation. In Kongsfjorden, Svalbard (78°55′N, 11°55′E), the polar night lasts for 129 days, from the end of October to mid-February (Cohen et al., 2015). Due to sea ice and snow cover, kelps in the inner part of Kongsfjorden can be exposed to extended darkness until April–July when the sea ice breaks up (Svendsen et al., 2002). To some kelps originating from cold-temperate regions (e.g., Saccharina latissima), the low water temperature in the Arctic represents a suboptimal growth environment (Fortes and Lüning, 1980; Hurd et al., 2014). However, such environments are changing due to climate change. The Arctic has warmed at
