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 […]
Satellite observing breakthrough for monitoring the movement of Antarctic dense water Ocean modelling researchers have discovered a reliable and long-term new method to capture the formation and export of dense water around the Antarctic coast. Dense water is formed as sea ice freezes, producing vast amounts of salty water that sinks. Being able to monitor […]
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 […]
