Study exposes role of sea ice in protecting Antarctic coast A new method for detecting and monitoring change in the exposure of the Antarctic coastline to the dynamic Southern Ocean, due to changing sea-ice distribution, could improve environmental monitoring and modelling of Antarctic ice loss and sea level rise. For the first time, Dr Phil […]
CANYONS 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 was […]

The collapse of the Conger Ice Shelf Satellite data from 17 March 2022 shows the Conger ice shelf collapsed in Antartica. Credit: USNIC This month, the entire Conger Ice Shelf—an area of 1200 sq kms, which is as large as New York City, or Rome—collapsed in East Antarctica after a heat wave. But what impact […]
