New ocean model goes in for the krill

New ocean model goes in for the krill For the first time, researchers are now able to predict where Antarctic krill populations live and in what numbers—information that is critical to forecasting the future of Southern Ocean ecosystems. The study published this week outlines a new tool, KRILLPODYM, which sheds light on the mysterious lives of these […]

On the edge: warming waters destabilising ‘cold’ ice shelf

On the edge: warming waters destabilising ‘cold’ ice shelf Researchers have found large-scale anomalies in wind and sea ice are causing the waters below an East Antarctic ice shelf to warm, which could affect future sea level rise across the world. Dr Matthis Auger is a co-author of the new study published in Nature Geoscience, led by […]

Travel award takes Antarctic studies to Europe

Travel award takes Antarctic studies to Europe Earlier this year, ACEAS PhD student Josef Bisits received the Michael Tallis PhD research travel award, which allowed him to attend a prestigious summer school and an international conference in July for his area of research: physical oceanography.  “Being from Australia it can be difficult to cultivate working […]

Stakeholder Engagement

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, […]

40,000 years of sea ice dynamics unearths future clues

40,000 years of sea ice dynamics unearths future clues A team of researchers has found that a decline in sea ice cover off East Antarctica at the end of the last ice age led to major climate warming and caused the Southern Ocean’s ´control valve´ to open and release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere.
