‘Fifth Meeting Towards Establishment of the Turkish Arctic & Antarctic Research Program (TuArk)’
Why Antarctica
• Antarctica and the surrounding ocean are presently dedicated to science
and peace
• Antarctica is an exemplar of outstanding international cooperation and
environmental protection
• Antarctica is a continent and its surrounding oceans of significant
resources
• The future of continent is agreed internationally through the Antarctic
Treaty
• Turkey does not have a voice on the future of the continent
• To achieve the voice in the future of the continent it is an essential
condition to have a long term, high quality Antarctic research programme
• Antarctica is changing rapidly in climate and politically
(Rodger, 2014)
‘Fifth Meeting Towards Establishment of the Turkish Arctic & Antarctic Research Program (TuArk)’
Turkey science contribution
Turkey is very well placed to contribute novel international
quality science in a number of science areas including:–
–
–
–
Geology and geophysics
Biological, chemical and physical oceanography
Climate change
Medical science
Other key dimensions that science in Antarctica will offer:
– Capacity building for scientists, engineers and technologists
– Public outreach of science and technology

Benefits to Turkey
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
A full role in the future of Antarctica
– Use of natural resources
– Environmental protection
Turkish scientists addressing key current issues affecting the future climate of our
planet
Development of new technology and access to other technology through
collaboration
To be a member of a vibrant international research community
A raised diplomatic profile
A raised international science profile
Skills and experience to apply to other issues and areas
Training of the next generation of scientists and engineers
Antarctica is an excellent subject to engage the public in science and the other
values Antarctica represents
