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.
New model correction improves predictions of Antarctic ice shelf melt Accurately predicting how Antarctic ice shelves melt is critical for understanding future sea-level rise and global climate change. A recent study led by ACEAS PhD researcher Claire Yung from the Australian National University introduces a correction to ocean models that could significantly improve these predictions. […]
The longest story ever pulled from the seafloor on the RV Investigator By Dr Linda Armbrecht, Australian Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Science/Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (University of Tasmania) and Joline Lalime, Sea2SchoolAU Sediment lying beneath the ocean floor acts like a natural archive. Layer by layer, fine grains and pieces of rock […]
Listening to the deep: how sound maps the seabed By Laura De Santis, Senior Scientist (National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics OGS, Trieste, Italy) and Joline Lalime, Sea2SchoolAU The seafloor in the region surrounding the Antarctic continent is not flat and uninteresting; rather, it is characterised by distinctive bedforms – wave-like features made of […]
