My Fulbright research at the University of Maine deepens Australian–United States cooperation on Antarctic law and diplomacy by building enduring scholarly and policy relationships. Amid geopolitical pressure and environmental change, the project strengthens the Antarctic Treaty System and helps ensure Antarctica remains a peaceful, protected region dedicated to science.
