Mission
The Antarctic Environments and Climate Change Research Group (ANTECC) was implemented within the new structure of the Centre for Geographical Studies at the University of Lisbon in 2009. Research focusses on Antarctic Environments, but also include other cold environments, such as the Arctic and mountain terrains.
Our main research themes are:
i) mapping, monitoring and modelling permafrost and the active layer,
ii) monitoring geomorphodynamics of cold environments (e.g. rockglaciers, soliflucton, thermokarst, coastal erosion),
iii) remote sensing of snow,
iv) paleoenvironmental reconstruction of cold environments.
ANTECC consists of 4 researchers with PhD (2 Assistant Professors, 1 Assistant Researcher and 1 Post-doc fellow), 2 PhD Students, 2 MSc students, 1 Manager of science and technology and 2 external collaborators. We are currently involved in several research projects in the Antarctic Peninsula region and in Svalbard, with international collaborations with Argentina, Bulgaria, Brazil, Norway, Russia, Spain and the United States of America.
