Antarctic Scholarships Tasmanian Marine Science Fellowships
The Tasmanian Government, the University of Tasmania and the Embassy of France
in Australia have jointly created an Award in the field of Marine and Antarctic Sciences.
This program enables early career researchers to travel to France to undertake study
missions to:
Acquire a specific training or qualification
Strengthen cooperation and expand international networks; and
Gain recognition for their work.
Applications are open to Tasmanian postgraduate students, young researchers and
scientists working in Marine Science. The total amount available for 2008 is AUS$15,000.
This will support between 1 and 3 fellowships for a stay (return ticket and living allowances)
in France from 1 to 3 months.
Applicants are requested to submit a project in conjunction with their Australian institution and their current or potential French collaborators/partners.
Applications for a 2008 Tasmanian Marine Science Fellowship are open from 3 March and
close on 2 June 2008. - top - Antarctic Scholarships

The Antarctic Midwinter Festival is run over the mid-winter solstice period during June in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. This festival celebrates the link Tasmania has with the Antarctic and the Southern Ocean regions by encouraging Tasmanians and visitors to celebrate winter and learn more about the fascinating Antarctic island continent, which is almost twice the size of Australia. - top - Lonely Planet Guide - Antarctica
Antarctica is the last vast wilderness on the planet. Its gigantic icebergs, mountain ranges and the emptiness of the polar plateau boggle the mind, while its weather curdles the blood. It's beautiful and serene, savage and violent, and its scale is almost unfathomable.
Lonely Planet is passionate about bringing people together, about understanding our world, and about people sharing experiences that enrich everyone's lives. We aim to inspire people to explore, have fun, and travel often. And we strive to provide travellers everywhere with reliable, comprehensive and independent travel information. - top - CIA World Factbook about Antarctica

The Marine Discovery Centre is based on the shores of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel at Woodbridge in South East Tasmania, Australia. The Centre is an annexe of Woodbridge District High School and it challenges students of all ages to learn about, discover and care for the marine environment through diverse shore and sea based programs. The Centre houses fully equipped teaching areas, an aquarium room, marine pond, touch tanks and displays of marine life and fishing technology. In addition, the Centre has its own research vessel, the “RV Penghana”, and a marine farming lease. - top - Marine Education Society of Australia

The University of Tasmania, through the Institute of Antarctic
& Southern Ocean Studies (IASOS) is offering a BACHELOR OF ANTARCTIC
STUDIES, a science degree focused on the Antarctic. Throughout the 3
year degree students choose from either a Life Science or Physical
Science stream according to their interests.
Two first year units, Antarctic Studies 1A and 1B, are designed to set
the background of history, international relations and cultural
perceptions of the Antarctic and to give students an introduction to the
specialised areas of Antarctic science. This background knowledge will
help students make informed choices about areas of study in years 2 and
3.
The University has a large Antarctic research community and annually
enrols large numbers of higher degree students in this area across the
Hobart campus. While a consortium of Northern Hemisphere universities
offers an undergraduate degree in polar studies, the Bachelor of
Circumpolar Studies, there has been no equivalent course dealing with
Antarctica. The University of Tasmania is the first to offer a degree
concentrating on the Antarctic. - top - Institute of Antarctic and Southern Ocean Studies
