title: Hueue

authors: Soo, Chin-En Keith

subjects: animation

abstract: HUEUE aims to capture the colour story of a movie and present it in an accessible time frame of a minute. Movies at their simplest are colour, sound and motion.

HUEUE aims to distil any movie into these basic forms and generate a unique form of escapism, bring the audience on a journey into the movie itself.

HUEUE creates a tunnel effect. The effect indicates an impression of a portal. This is intended to give life to the escapism and create a more concrete feeling of the journey with the aid of sequential colours flowing from the movie. The audio is condensed creating a pitch shift, simulating the Doppler effect. All these elements create an experience that accelerate the viewer into the escapism and further into the movie.

title: Soil priorities for Antarctica

authors: Roudier, P.

subjects: Antarctica

abstract: While most of Antarctica is covered by ice sheets, a small part of the continent is permanently ice-free, sometimes for millions of years, where soils developed. Ice-free regions represent about 0.44% of the total area of Antarctica (~54, 000 km², although a precise estimate is still lacking), and are small ‘islands’ dotted along the coast, mountain ranges, and nunataks (Figure 1, Brooks et al., 2019). There, environmental conditions result in a diverse range of soils. The largest expanse of ice-free areas, the McMurdo Dry Valleys, is an arid, cold desert , with very low and fluctuating temperatures, almost no liquid water, often very high soil salinity, and typically slow rates of soil formation. Despite the small area they represent, Antarctic soils are scientifically remarkable: they harbour life, including arthropods, nematodes, rotifers and tardigrades, and a surprisingly high diversity of soil microbes, therefore representing the major part of the biomass of all Antarctica terrestrial systems (Convey et al., 2014). Ice-free areas also form essential breeding grounds for macrofauna, such as seals and seabirds. The trophic simplicity of those ecosystems make Antarctic soils a great model for studying broader ecosystem functioning. Some of the highest elevation ice-free areas and their dry permafrost conditions represent the closest Mars analogue on Earth.

title: Early French views of the Waikato and its inhabitants (1840-54)

authors: Jennings, William

abstract: This paper will investigate how the cultural background of these Frenchmen informed their descriptions of Waikato Maori and the Waikato environment. It will use the newly-published ten-volume collected correspondence of the pioneer Marists in the Pacific,the Lettres refues d'Odanie, as its principal source.
