Just Like Mars - Jocelyn Dunn
BODY:
For eight long months, six scientists, including Jocelyn Dunn, lived in a dome next to a volcano in Hawaii, simulating the seclusion and challenges of life on Mars. With nothing but views of red rock for kilometers, the NASA funded project studied the effects of isolation and confinement on the crew. Jocelyn Dunn talks about the some of the physical and psychological challenges astronauts going to Mars might one day encounter while living in a small space with 5 other people.
EXTENDED BODY:
Six people who spent eight months in a 120 square meter dome to simulate what astronauts might experience on Mars have learned lessons about dealing with stress and isolation that can apply to life on earth according to mock astronaut Jocelyn Dunn.
The Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation or (HI-SEAS) experiment is funded by NASA to study how people might cope with prolonged isolation and life on the Red Planet. Dunn’s role was to access stress levels through constant sampling of the crew inside the dome. “I wasn’t analysing the data while I was in there because I didn’t want to confound my studies by looking at my own stress levels” she says.
While putting six people in a confined space can create stress, she says the mock astronauts came up with strategies to combat that. “We had weekly debriefs to bring up anything that was bothering us and make sure you don’t let things fester over 8 months."
She says research shows there is a risk of any team getting on too well. “They get into this mode that they are supporting each other so well that when anything goes wrong they blame it on the ground, not each other."
Dunn says the worst part of the eight months in the dome was the last month. “I had plans for the summer I was ready to move on with the next chapter. It’s like when you have plans for a trip on the weekend and the week crawls by. That is how I felt the last month or so."
Kiwifruit is what she craved when she and the crew finally stepped out of the dome. “I was craving anything I could cut with a knife. The freeze dried food all comes diced."
One day, she hopes she can go into space instead of just simulating it. “I think I have a pretty good chance it depends on the ages they want to choose in the 2030s”
She and the other crew were “both the research subjects and researchers ourselves - we each had our own projects”, Dunn told Jesse Mulligan.

Why kakariki are losing their feathers
BODY:
Tiny skin mites are causing mange and feather loss amongst red-crowned parakeets on Tiritiri Matangi Island, and a screening programme is keeping an eye on the problem
EXTENDED BODY:
By Alison Ballance
“For the last few years we’ve seen quite a few rather bald and mangy looking kakariki, and we’ve discovered it’s a skin mite. The mite is microscopic, and it burrows around the feather follicle and pushes the feathers out.”
Emma Wells, bird keeper, Auckland Zoo
“The reality is we seeing more and more disease in wildlife. Because of the pressures wildlife is under animals are increasingly stressed and they’re succumbing to things that historically they might have been able to fight off.”
Dr Bethany Jackson, wildlife vet, Murdoch University.
Kakariki or red-crowned parakeets on Tiritiri Matangi Island, an open sanctuary in the Hauraki Gulf, have a problem. Many of them are losing feathers, and in the worst cases birds are becoming quite bald.
The culprit was identified as a mange mite by Australian wildlife vet, Dr Bethany Jackson, from Murdoch University. A few years ago Bethany investigated the problem as part of the PhD research, and since then she has worked with Auckland Zoo in an ongoing disease screening programme on the island.
Every spring a team visits the island to catch kakariki in mist nets, and assess their health status. The birds are banded, measured and weighed, blood samples are collected for disease screening, and feather loss is estimated. Over the week the zoo staff and volunteers are on the island they usually manage to sample about 70 birds. This spring more than half of the birds studied had mange.
Auckland Zoo keepers Emma Wells and Nat Sullivan also carry out a nesting study, following breeding success in fifty kakariki nests.
“What we want to know is how the mange is related to weather patterns and to food availability,” says Emma. “We also want to know if it’s causing issues with breeding. Last year, for instance we had a really low chick survival, with no survivors.”
Emma says that it seemed this low chick survival was related to poor food availability, and that the mange is worse during a poor food year.
The team take photographs of each bird, and by comparing photos of birds that have been caught more than once, over several years, there is evidence that some birds can recover from a bad case of mange.
Bethany says that the mite affects adult birds, but not chicks.
“We also know that kakariki on Little Barrier Island carry the mites, too, although they were looking normal when we sampled them,” says Bethany. “So we suspect this mite could be quite widespread in parakeets in New Zealand.”
Bethany says that it’s important to establish baseline disease surveillance for animals to set a benchmark for what’s ‘normal’.
“While disease is something that has always been part of wildlife ecology, the rate of change in terms of habitat change, climate change means wildlife is under increasing pressure from all directions, including predators,” says Bethany. “And really disease is just another threat we want to be keeping tabs on, and seeing if there’s something new coming into the country. And the reality is we seeing more and more disease in wildlife.”
Tasmanian devil facial tumour, chytrid fungus in frogs and a new fungus infecting salamanders are example of recent disease outbreaks, and Bethany says the growing international trade in wildlife increases the chances of diseases spreading.
Last year Our Changing World joined Auckland Zoo as they released captive-bred wetapunga, or giant weta, on Tiritiri Matangi Island.

3:10 Just Like Mars - Jocelyn Dunn
Six people who spent eight months in a 120 square meter dome to simulate what astronauts might experience on Mars have learned lessons about dealing with stress and isolation that can apply to life on earth according to mock astronaut Jocelyn Dunn.
[image:49549:half]
[audio_play]
The Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation or (HI-SEAS) experiment is funded by NASA to study how people might cope with prolonged isolation and life on the Red Planet. Dunn’s role was to access stress levels through constant sampling of the crew inside the dome. “I wasn’t analysing the data while I was in there because I didn’t want to confound my studies by looking at my own stress levels” she says.
She and the other crew were “both the research subjects and researchers ourselves - we each had our own projects”, Dunn says.
While putting six people in a confined space can create stress, she says the mock astronauts came up with strategies to combat that. “We had weekly debriefs to bring up anything that was bothering us and make sure you don’t let things fester over 8 months."
She says research shows there is a risk of any team getting on too well. “They get into this mode that they are supporting each other so well that when anything goes wrong they blame it on the ground, not each other."
Dunn says the worst part of the eight months in the dome was the last month. “I had plans for the summer I was ready to move on with the next chapter. It’s like when you have plans for a trip on the weekend and the week crawls by. That is how I felt the last month or so."
Kiwifruit is what she craved when she and the crew finally stepped out of the dome. “I was craving anything I could cut with a knife. The freeze dried food all comes diced."
One day, she hopes she can go into space instead of just simulating it. “I think I have a pretty good chance it depends on the ages they want to choose in the 2030s”
