Antarctic and Marine Studies theme area:

The Antarctic & Marine Studies theme area brings together people and activities in the Centre for Marine Science, the Tasmanian Aquaculture and Fisheries Institute (TAFI), the International Antarctic Institute, and the Institute of Antarctic and Southern Ocean Studies (IASOS).

Significant collaborations with the Australian Antarctic Division, CSIRO Marine Research, the Aquafin Cooperative Research Centre, the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre, as well as many international linkages further strengthen this UTas theme area.
