👉👉 Out today in @nature our new paper showing how meltwater increases around Antarctica are set to dramatically slowdown the Antarctic overturning circulation, with a potential collapse this century. nature.com/articles/s4158… A🧵on how this work came about and what we found...

PhD thesis submitted! A big thank you to my supervisors NWebster_Micro, @StevenJRobbins, Laura Rix, and Michael Wagner. Especially for making the best PhD hat someone could ask for.

Congratulations to @ung_Florian, ⁦NWebster_Micro⁩ and the entire team. It was great fun to jointly reveal how taurine is metabolized by a symbiont of the #sponge I. basta and how this connects the sponge, the taurine degrader and an AOA symbiont nature.com/articles/s4139…

The beauty of field work on #subAntarctic #MacquarieIsland. We’ve been out hiking & working for 8 days for our Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future science. It’s great to be back. Thanks for supporting our science antarctica.gov.au !! W. P. Amy Liu Kita marie Williams QUT

“This slowdown has the potential to disrupt the connection between the Antarctic coasts and the deep ocean, with profound consequences for Earth’s climate, sea level and marine life.” theconversation.com/antarctic-alar…

2/9 New research from CSIRO, Australian Centre for Antarctic Science (ACEAS), UNSW Climate Change Research Centre, University of Auckland | Waipapa Taumata Rau and AAPP shows the deep ocean currents in the Australian Antarctic Basin have slowed by approximately 30% over the past three decades, reducing oxygen levels in the deep ocean. aappartnership.org.au/antarctic-deep…

That’s a wrap! Australia’s #Antarctic season has concluded with the return today of icebreaker RSV #Nuyina from its resupply of Macquarie Island and support of Southern Ocean #science 🚢 👀 Watch the highlights at antarctica.gov.au/news/2023/that… 📷Eric Woehler

Congratulations to the elephant seal tagging team who have successfully tagged 21 seals with CTD transmitters! These seals will now travel the southern ocean, proving invaluable data on ocean dynamics and predator ecology in this region.

Rather more female Heads of Delegation at my 20th #AntarcticTreaty meeting than there were at my 1st! #DiversityMatters #InternationalCooperation 🐧🥶👩‍👩‍👧‍👧👍

Today our cartographers released new Antarctic and Arctic maps - with lots of changes to these fast changing and fragile places: 🧊 ice sheet loss 🌊 new sea ice data 📌 using indigenous town names in the Canadian Arctic #WorldOceansDay #climatechange tinyurl.com/mrx6atff

Congratulations Sharon- so very well deserved, an incredible scientist and mentor to so many!

📡❄From deep space to deep ice. After an illustrious 29-year Antarctic career, our climate program leader and ice core scientist, Dr Tas van Ommen, is hanging up his ice drill.👏 👀Read more about his hard core career antarctica.gov.au/news/2023/illu… 📸Tas van Ommen, Tony Fleming

Come join us Australian Institute of Marine Science! Three (!!) new permanent research scientist opportunities are available to work in our Reef Recovery Adaptation & Restoration Program: - Coral Early-life Ecology - Applied Ecological Genetics - Coral Phenomics and Symbiosis shorturl.at/qvCHJ

This one goes out to all the leaders out there. We're looking for a Scott Base Summer Leader to ensure science and Scott Base Redevelopment activities are delivered safely and effectively. Interested?👉 bit.ly/3Q5i909 📷 Anthony Powell 🇳🇿

Congratulations Kerrie! More power for science and the environment. Professor Kerrie Wilson appointed Queensland Chief Scientist - Ministerial Media Statements statements.qld.gov.au/statements/983…

You’ve heard about Antarctic sea ice lows - well, here’s the consequences. Over 9,000 emperor penguin chicks from colonies in the Bellingshausen Sea are thought to have died in November 2022. The sea ice they lived on broke up early, before they'd developed waterproof feathers.

A team from University of Tasmania & UOW has created a new method to map water content in Antarctic moss beds. It paves the way for creating a monitoring system that uses greenness & water content to track moss health. 📰 doi.org/10.1002/rse2.3… 🔗arcsaef.com/story/a-new-me… 📷 Emiliano Cimoli
