Science Goals for Antarctic Infrared Telescopes
Over the past few years, site-testing at the South Pole has revealed conditions that are uniquely favourable for infrared astronomy. In particular, the exceptionally low sky brightness throughout the nearand mid-infrared leads to the possibility of a modest-sized telescope achieving comparable sensitivity to that of existing 8–10 metre class telescopes. An 8metre Antarctic telescope, if constru...
متن کاملNon-indigenous microorganisms in the Antarctic: assessing the risks.
The Antarctic continent is frequently cited as the last pristine continent on Earth. However, this view is misleading for several reasons. First, there has been a rapid increase in visitors to Antarctica, with large increases at research bases and their environs and to sites of major tourist interest (e.g. historical sites and concentrations of megafauna). Second, although substantial efforts a...
متن کاملe-Science from the Antarctic to the GRID
Monitoring life-processes in a frozen lake in the Antarctic raises many practical challenges. To supplement manual monitoring we have designed, built and successfully deployed a remote monitoring device on one of the lakes of interest. This returns data to the Antarctic base over the Iridium satellite phone network. This provides us with a new and uniquely detailed view of the lifeprocesses in ...

متن کاملAssessing Learning in Informal Science Contexts
This paper is primarily concerned with the assessment of outcomes in informal settings with a particular focus on science learning. An examination of hypothesized or presumed outcomes (both intended and serendipitous) of informal science learning experiences leads on to a critical analysis of the methodologies and methods used to assess those outcomes across a wide range of contexts. The eviden...
