Our objective is to help communities prepare for climate risks emerging from East Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. We will do this by integrating knowledge of the region’s ocean, atmosphere, cryosphere, and ecosystems.
Denman
Marine
Voyage
The Denman Marine Voyage (DMV) will take more than 60 scientists to the Denman Glacier region for two months in late February, 2025
Science and technical teams will work closely with the ship’s crew across 24-hour shifts and use a range of methods - including bathymetry (sea floor mapping), rock and sediment sampling, sea-glider and mooring deployments, seal tagging and physical and chemical oceanography - to learn more about the factors influencing the glacier’s melt rate and its possible contribution to higher sea levels in future
From sea ice to ocean currents, Antarctica is now undergoing abrupt changes – and we’ll all feel them
From sea ice to ocean currents, Antarctica is now undergoing abrupt changes – and we’ll all feel them Antarctica has long been seen as a remote, unchanging environment. Not any more. The ice-covered continent and the surrounding Southern Ocean are […]

Terrestrial
Campaign
The Denman Terrestrial (land) Campaign runs from 2022 – 2025 and aims to increase our understanding of the Denman Glacier's history and stability through research projects staged from a deep field camp at Bunger Hills, about 450 kilometres from Casey research station
