The Transantarctic Mountains putting on a show 🤍 #Antarctica

Our @monash_uni scientists have touched down in #Hobart ahead of their expedition to the Denman Glacier w. @ausantarctic. It's tricky to pack light when you're off to #Antarctica for 2 months! #SAEFGoesSouth Read more about SAEF's 2023-24 field season: arcsaef.com/saef-goes-sout…

Great to see a mid-voyage update from Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future #womeninSTEM in #Antarctica with amazing pictures! 🐧

Australia just had its 3rd warmest spring on record based on maximum temperatures, with an anomaly of +1.33ºC relative to the 1991-2020 average. The national mean temperature anomaly of +0.83ºC was the 5th highest on record.

Isn't the ozone hole closing? Yes – but it's lasted longer than normal in recent years. As @Antarcticmoss (UOW) + colleagues (University of Canterbury) explain, that means Antarctica's plants and animals are being hit with much higher UV levels in summer. theconversation.com/longer-lasting…

Covering all disciplines of #Antarctic science, we’re bringing together #AusAntarctic scientists to share knowledge all in one place. I’m on the organising committee for this conference. Let me know if there’s something you’d really love to see!

By the time sea ice/snow melts & life returns to Antarctica each summer, the ozone hole is usually on its way to closing. But recently it’s extended well into summer and coincided with heatwaves and low sea ice extent, leaving plants & animals exposed to unseasonably high UV.

🦠 Is the #atmosphere Earth's largest microbial ecosystem? SAEF Associate Investigator Dr Rachael Lappan researches #microbes in the atmosphere. She's trying to determine if microbes simply use the air for transport or if it's a permanent home. Read more: arcsaef.com/story/is-the-a…
