Antarctica and Popular Culture Dr Hanne Neilsen
The Royal Society of Tasmania Lecture, Wednesday 4 December 2024
Dr Hanne Nielsen is known for her research on representations of Antarctica in culture and the arts, particularly in literature and media. She has a background in Antarctic Studies and has explored how Antarctica is depicted in various narratives, focusing on the intersection of polar history, gender, and cultural studies.
Dr Nielsen has also been an advocate for women in Antarctic research, highlighting the roles of women in polar expeditions and science. Her work contributes to understanding how perceptions of Antarctica have shaped public and scientific discourses, especially in relation to environmental change and geopolitics.

    Strong evidence for cyclical natural warming and cooling. Dr Corbett correctly identifies at least 20 cooling (ice ages) and warming events (interglacial) each lasting about 100kyrs (ice ages) and 10 kyrs (warmings) - and being shown in Tas landscape. How dumb and arrogant Humans are to think they can stop Mother Nature's natural cycles by building windmills and solar farms. Next we'll be throwing virgins into volcanoes (if we can find them) to stop natural events primarily caused by natural variations in Earth's elliptical orbit.

    What do you think about the Karin Sigloch-Mitch Mihalynek conclusion that tectonism is propelled by "90% slab-pull (subduction) and 10% ridge-push (spreading ridge)"? This limits all tectonic observations to the crust and ignores the role of the mantle. My observation of the tectonic principle is a conveyor belt or tank track (slab) + back drive-wheel (mantle convective upwelling) + conveyance/motion ( slab on mantle convection flow) + front idle-wheel (mantle cooling descent.) I understand their conclusions, but only to the point of accommodating the rigid crust for conveyance via mantle convection.

    If you haven't heard of Nick Zentner at central Washington University he's a geology Professor who has a free on line teaching program that he started doing more actively when covid shut things down he started doing in his back yard cause he was bored.He got a huge following and stimulated us already interested in the subject to learn more. He didn't quit and neither did we so you may notice plenty of us listening to you and other geologists also. So you might like also looking up Nick. Really nice man also and great teacher ( he takes us along on hikes and field trips by carrying his phone). Thanks for sharing your very interesting talk. Just a side note ( a close friend's mom was Australian.. I'm old so she has passed... and my parents liked to take British tours and became good friends with a couple from the tours who were Australian and they came to USA and stayed with us and we toured them around... so I'm quite fond of Australia ).

    • @LymanAlphaBlob
      @LymanAlphaBlob 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There was ocean floor during the formation of past supercontinents as well. The ocean floor and even some continental crust gets recycled into the mantle via subduction. Unfortunately we don't know what it looked like, other than an assumption that it looked much like it does today.

    • @DonnaCsuti-ji2dd
      @DonnaCsuti-ji2dd 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Remember new ocean floor keeps forming constantly along the mid Atlantic ridge and that pushes Europe and Africa eastward and North America and South America westward ( then subduction probably occurres on both sides of the Pacific ocean ). Basically the land masses are always on the move and occasionally probably come together into gondwana like masses with the continents all together.

    I've always wondered who the motivated individual is that uploads high-fidelity 3D scans onto Sketchfab! Similar to Dr. Roach's work up north, I believe Monash scans cultural sites for GlaWAC in Victoria. We really should be doing the same for at least the two known hand stencils here in Tasmania. Although these scans are intended for educational purposes, they actually serve as fantastic 3D assets for artists creating virtual landscapes. Tasmania boasts some of the most visually striking geology.
