2024 November Gathering of WOMEESA in Tasmania: A Look Back @ Local Meetup #STEMTogether #WomenLeadingChange #CelebratingWomen #WOMEESA

This time last year my home was the Edgeworth David camp in the Bunger Hills ⛺️🇦🇶 All the best to the Australian Centre for Antarctic Science (ACEAS) team out there this year for more #Denman Terrestrial Campaign science 🙌

❄️After days of snow and low visibility in the Bunger Hills, the sun is shining🌞and the first scientists have arrived to work with the #Denman Terrestrial Campaign. 📹Dr Kate Kloza

Christmas might be over, but the gifts keep coming for the Australian Centre for Antarctic Science (ACEAS) geo team! 🪨🎁 Today IMAS Dr Jodi Fox took delivery of new rock samples from Gaussberg - East Antarctica’s only exposed volcano 🌋 (even geophysicists were excited, right Katharina Hochmuth 😉) ⚒️🧪

In a breakthrough moment of the DTC, a remote field and research team has deployed a deep-water mooring line between the Scott + Denman Glaciers, to feed back critical long-term data on the area’s warming waters. - with Australian Antarctic Program Partnership | antarctica.gov.au bit.ly/4jAzaLJ

Two more sleeps until departure day! Here's most of the 47 scientists from AAPP/University of Tasmania/CSIRO and Australian Centre for Antarctic Science (ACEAS) leaving on the 2-month Denman Marine Voyage (5000km south to East #Antarctica) with antarctica.gov.au and Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future this Friday. Follow them at aappartnership.org.au/DMV/

The first rock dredges of the #DMV have delivered - and many rocks found seem to have come from beneath the vast Denman Glacier. There are signs the region might be a particularly warm area geothermally, writes Jo Whittaker in our latest #blog post ⬇️ antarctic.org.au/revealed-in-a-…

When not working with her horses, Dr Linda Armbrecht (IMAS) is pioneering techniques to extract ancient DNA from Antarctic seafloor sediments, unlocking secrets from up to a million years in the past.

Offshore to the west of the Denman Glacier, the Kasten core seafloor sediment tubes keep on coming - and this one is a keeper #DMV Taryn Noble (IMAS) leads the leads the research team to examine its many interesting layers ⬇️ 📷: Katharina Hochmuth, Delphine Lannuzel

🏔️ "The Gamburtsev Mountains are similar in scale and shape to the European Alps. But we can’t see them because the high alpine peaks and deep glacial valleys are entombed beneath kilometres of ice." — Jacqueline Halpin University of Tasmania & Nathan Daczko Macquarie University theconversation.com/antarctica-has…

New study of an ancient collision zone reveals origins of enormous mountain range, hidden beneath the East Antarctic ice sheet and central to Earth's tectonic history ♨️ - Jacqueline Halpin and Nathan Daczko in The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand IMAS | Macquarie Uni theconversation.com/antarctica-has…

"The rocks that the glacier sits on impact the way it behaves, the heat that’s coming through the crust impacts the way that glacier behaves." WATCH: Professor Jo Whittaker (IMAS) and Dr Karin Orth (UTAS) on what these ancient rocks can tell us ⬇️ #DMV youtube.com/watch?v=mn4QOu…

"That is a crisis in terms of our ability as a nation to do the work we need to do to inform the policymakers, but also just to show that we take Antarctica seriously." - Director Matt King on the approaching funding cliff for #Antarctic research ⬇️ abc.net.au/news/2025-06-1…

Excited to be amongst geo friends at Uni Adelaide to give a talk on Antarctic mountains & learn from some of the best 🤩

"I am optimistic about fostering stronger India–Australia collaborations in Antarctic science and look forward to more opportunities like this in the future." - 2025 Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) INSTANT Fellow Dr Devsamridhi Arora on her recent University of Tasmania visit ⬇️ antarctic.org.au/introducing-dr…

Article: Extensive flat surfaces observed beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet margin were formed by fluvial erosion and have modulated the ice sheet response to climate change nature.com/articles/s4156…

Congratulations to AAPP/IMAS ice-sheet modeller Dr Chen Zhao for her recognition in the 2025 Tasmanian Tall Poppy Science Awards from Australian Institute of Policy & Science. ▶️ utas.edu.au/about/news-and…
