Successful mooring deployment to unlock deep secrets of glacier stability The successful deployment of a deep-water mooring line in between the Scott and Denman Glaciers will feed back critical long-term data on the area’s warming waters, giving researchers new insights into the drivers of potential ice melt. In a breakthrough moment of the Denman Terrestrial […]

The magic of magnetotellurics: Imaging how deep Denman Glacier is and what lies far beneath For the second summer running, ACEAS geophysicist Dr Maria Costanza (Coti) Manassero is camped in the remote Bunger Hills in East Antarctica, about 450 kilometres from Australia’s Casey Research Station.

Study of ancient collision zone reveals origins of enormous hidden mountain range in East Antarctica Australian researchers have discovered how a large mountain chain resembling the European Alps and buried deep below the East Antarctic ice sheet, grew and partly collapsed more than half a billion years ago. Formed by an ancient collision of two
