Climate drivers are behind Antarctic melt that caused recent sea level rise A team of researchers has revealed that climate variability—specifically the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Southern Annular Mode—played a significant role in the changes observed in […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Seals uncover new ocean depths in East Antarctica Elephant seals fitted with tracking devices. Credit: Clive McMahon, IMOS and SIMS. New ocean depths and seascapes beneath the East Antarctic continental shelf have been revealed in the latest study tracking deep-diving […]
