PhD PROJECTS ACEAS Student Projects and Scholarships From the second half of 2021, a number of PhD research projects related to the research programs of the Centre will be advertised here and on Australian university partner web sites for proposed commencement in January 2022 and beyond. Applicants will be able to apply for Stipend Scholarships […]
What lies beneath Antarctica could destabilise icesheet A new study suggests rising global temperatures could trigger vulnerabilities in the bedrock beneath the Earth’s largest ice sheet in Antarctica and cause rapid sea level rise. The sedimentary basins that lie beneath Antarctica are fundamental to ice sheet flow, but until now were poorly understood. Co-author of […]

Small window of opportunity left to preserve Antarctica’s ‘sleeping giant’ A new study suggests the worst effects of global warming on Earth’s largest ice sheet can be avoided if the world meets the climate targets outlined in the Paris Agreement—but if we fail, then the melting of the ice sheet will have a drastic impact […]
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT ACEAS aspires to make significant contributions in many ways, including: Research impact: develop knowledge to help reduce the impact of unexpected developments and the passing of tipping points in the East Antarctic and the adjacent Southern Ocean Establishing fundamental datasets and tools of international significance: revealing key processes, observations of state and change, […]
Southern Ocean takes on the heat of climate change Of all the oceans on Earth, the Southern Ocean does the lion’s share at slowing the pace of climate change by absorbing most of the excess heat trapped in the planet’s atmosphere, say scientists from the ARC Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Science (ACEAS) at UNSW […]
RESEARCH ACEAS’ research program is supported by $25M of ARC funding and university contributions. The research formally commenced in late 2021 and will run until December 2025. The focus is on research in East Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. The research aims to build fundamental knowledge and research capacity, train early career scientists for broad […]
Ocean warming and sea-level rise are on a fast track The results of the study are based on many thousands of measurements taken from across the globe—including from the Southern Ocean, which warms at a much faster rate than the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

Scientists map heat beneath Antarctica’s icesheets Fieldwork in Queen Mary Land collecting geophysical and geological data. Image: Tobias Stål. Researchers from the ARC Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Science (ACEAS) at the University of Tasmania are helping predict future sea level rise by taking a closer look at what goes on beneath Antarctica’s icesheets. “Heat moving […]
