  1. Interesting piece in Nature last week about Antarctic research infrastructure. China has just opened it's fifth station, as the US retreats from science in general, and especially polar research. Many countries in Europe are also rather weakly present in the Antarctic, and there is no common EU programme.

    In Denmark, we haven't even ratified the Madrid protocols for environmental protection of Antarctica, never mind signed the Antarctic Treaty. In spite of the actually rather strong Danish input to Antarctic research in general - much of which is driven by the fact that our future sea level rise will be largely determined by what happens in the Antarctic.
