UC study maps Christchurch's Antarctic workforce for the first time
Summary
New research from the University of Canterbury maps the full scale of Christchurch's Antarctic workforce for the first time. Published in Antarctic Science, the study draws on an October 2024 workshop with 29 stakeholders from government, academia, tourism, logistics, training providers, and local businesses. Co-author Dr Gabriela Roldan notes the research identifies the range of Antarctic roles based out of New Zealand — from scientists and logistics operators to port workers and educators — and outlines priorities to support Christchurch's future as an Antarctic gateway city.
