Read the latest ACEAS news as we seek to uncover the mysteries of East Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, and better understand emerging climate risks.
From East Antarctica to the world: outreach program goes global A young, talented and diverse group of Antarctic researchers working in the field alongside some of the sector’s research veterans was a hallmark of the Denman Marine Voyage (DMV). The two month-long voyage to the largely unexplored Denman Glacier and Shackleton Ice Shelf region of […]
Study of ancient collision zone reveals origins of enormous hidden mountain range in East Antarctica
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 […]
All part of the process: biology meets chemistry off an ice shelf By Delphine Lannuzel and Pauline Latour, with the Australian Antarctic Program Partnership (AAPP) During the Denman Marine Voyage, we’re combining biology and biogeochemistry to study phytoplankton either side of the Denman Glacier and the Shackleton Ice Shelf. We’re investigating why the west is […]
