Dr Aleks Terauds from the Australian Antarctic Division presents the second keynote at the APECS Oceania Symposium. Melbourne, 19 September 2017.
Dr Terauds is a Senior research scientist with the Australian Antarctic Division, his research focuses on understanding and modelling Antarctic and subantarctic species distributions, communities and broad patterns of biodiversity and the application of these insights to conservation and management. Dr Terauds is also the chief officer for the Standing Committee on the Antarctic Treaty System also known as SCATS. SCATS is the body tasked with developing SCAR’s scientific advice to the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM) and its Committee on Environmental Protection (CEP), the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Seals (CCAS), and the Advisory Committee to the Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels (ACAP).

Global change now, more than ever before, is threatening society and biodiversity around the planet. The Antarctic region is no exception, and whilst largely considered to be pristine, and a “nature reserve, devoted to peace and science”, it is actually at risk from multiple pressures. The Antarctic Peninsula has experienced one of the most rapid temperature rises in the Southern Hemisphere, and managing invasive species has been labelled as the number one priority of the Antarctic Committee for
