| Summary: | This thesis argues the need to reinforce the legal basis for environmental protection in Antarctica through an analysis of the provisions contained in the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty. An alternative to overcome the current deficiencies of the Protocol is provided through evidenced based information documenting the spatial dimension of the issues at stake. The relevance of using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for gathering and analysing such information is demonstrated through a case study which provides a methodology for implementing the criteria listed in the Protocol with respect to protected areas designation. The aim of the research is to integrate the analytical methods of several academic disciplines, namely international environmental law, political science, environmental studies and geographical information systems technology, in order to address the issues associated with the implementation of the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty. ... |
