CANYONS BLOG The Canyons voyage was initially a 7-week voyage of researchers seeking insights into the flow pathways of dense Antarctic bottom water, along with its sensitivity to changes in climate and impact on seafloor ecosystems. The aim of the project was to help predict how a warming climate will influence future ocean circulation. The voyage […]

Tiny but mighty: microscopic algae to the rescue By Pauline Latour, Matthew Corkill, Katie Nawrath, Talitha Nelson, Jakob Weis and Delphine Lannuzel Aboard RSV Nuyina, we’ve travelled through the icy waters along the Denman Glacier and Shackleton Ice Shelf in East Antarctica. Among the amazing science projects, our team’s objective is to study phytoplankton, which […]

Outreach from the bottom of the world By Neve Clippingdale I have always loved science communication. There is just nothing better than being able to share your enthusiasm for something and seeing someone else become equally excited about it! So when ACEAS offered me the opportunity to become the Outreach Coordinator on the 2025 Denman […]

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 […]

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 […]
Antarctic ice melt to drastically alter the structure of key Antarctic current, new research finds Antarctica’s “last oceanic defence” could be transformed by the melting of the very ice it shields, according to a ground-breaking new study. Published in Geophysical Research Letters, the study predicts the melting of Antarctic ice through climate change will alter […]
