Congratulations to Australian Antarctic Division scientist Dr Aleks Terauds, who's won a prestigious award for international coordination of Antarctic Science from the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). 📸Pete Harmsen

Such a cool animation - and why Antarctica matters so much! No sea ice formation = No salt lost as sea water freezes No saltier denser water =No water waterfalling off the continental shelf No underwater saltwater cascades = Slowdown in global currents/weather changes/chaos

It warrants sober consideration how this degree of global dependence on one player in the private sector interacts with the common good.

🧵1. A landmark review of Southern Ocean physical dynamics led by Luke Bennetts and 🇦🇺🇳🇿🇮🇳🇨🇦🇬🇧researchers aims to ‘close the loops’ in our understanding of the complex network of feedbacks in the overall system, from the micro-scale to global circulation and climate.

There are people on here that literally get paid to make you mad. Keep that in mind.

Thx to many years of inspiration from Nick Golledge, Alexandra Gossart, Steven J Phipps, Jason Roberts, and Lenneke Jong, I've always been a huge fan of Antarctica. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work for the BAS—such an amazing place with amazing people doing amazing things

Mind-blowingly good plenary from Mathieu Casado (LSCE IPSL) here at #SCAR2024 this morning highlighting the importance of ice core records for determining #climate #warming trends in #Antarctica Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR)

Congratulations to IMAS colleagues Ed Doddridge, Dr Lavenia Ratnajarah, and Dr Jan Jansen on their Australian Research Council DECRA success. Also to Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future scientist Dr Jasmine Lee. University of Tasmania

Quentin Dempster I say it again, we need to abolish the contracted Senior Executive Service. It has transformed the Public Service into a Ministerial Service. Public interest has gone. We need to restore a permanent public service giving frank and fearless advice in the public interest. #auspol

High tide for a first day of spring swim. Water is warming up, 11°!

Disappointing to find local Tasmanian focus in ABC news is blurred with Victoria in their website - distinct lack of the immediacy in crisis time ABC Australia Congratulations Pulse Tasmania for stepping into this in a way that feels more connected to community and situation.

Vale Tim Bowden. We crossed paths a few times over the years — Northern Territory & Tasmania. He was good to work with, and always one for telling stories, & had a sharp wit. He once hilariously challenged the British Antarctic historian Bob Headland /2 abc.net.au/news/2024-09-0…
