Seals to gather intel on the Southern Ocean Elephant seals are the ultimate divers—travelling long distances, and diving to 1500m depths. They are crucial to gathering knowledge on the Southern Ocean’s role in the global climate system. Photo: Clive McMahon, IMOS and SIMS.

We provide support for people in their research and development by communicating our needs to the ACEAS management and organise ECR events. Claire Yung PhD Candidate, ANU About Claire Claire is a […]
New map unlocks deep digital data of Antarctica’s history By GNS Science It’s not just ice out there. 0.5% of the surface of Antarctica is exposed geology which can tell us a lot about the history – and the future – of the continent. GeoMAP Antarctica is the first detailed digital database that collates all […]

Deep Antarctic ocean currents have slowed in the past three decades The slowdown in Antarctic circulation reduces oxygen levels across the world’s deep seas. Photo: Tom Williams. Researchers have found that the deep ocean circulation around parts of Antarctica has slowed by 30 per cent since the 1990s, reducing oxygen levels across the world’s deep […]
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 […]
