Dr Melinda Waterman ABC Science Professor Sharon Robinson AM We also heard you talking about how cool #Antarctic moss is on ABC Radio with David Astle last night! Great to see that there is so much interest.
๐ง Listen back to this fantastic interview with SAEF researcher Dr Dr Melinda Waterman from UOW. Mel talks with David Astle on ABC Melbourne about why #Antarctic moss is so fascinating and what it can tell us about past climate. From 2:35 ๐ abc.net.au/listen/programโฆ
Had a fabulous evening discussing all aspects of science, industry and design with fellows and commissioners alike at our biannual Royalcom1851 Presidential Dinner A highlight was chatting #Antarctica with our President HRH Princess Anne !
Longer-lasting ozone holes over Antarctica expose seal pups and penguin chicks to much more UV theconversation.com/longer-lastingโฆ via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand
Why is the ozone hole lasting longer and what does this mean for life in Antarctica?

Isn't the ozone hole closing? Yes โ but it's lasted longer than normal in recent years. As Professor Sharon Robinson AM (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-lastingโฆ
