RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
Rapid emergence and subsequent glacial and periglacial action on Macquarie Island have placed it in a state of high erosional activity. The dominant processes are mass erosion through landslips, soil creep slumping and solifluction. Fluvial and aeolian erosion are only important in very restricted areas. Rabbit activity has had a minimal effect on the overall rates of erosion although appearing significant in some localised areas.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
