We welcome the Australian Academy of Science’s position statement on Australia’s scientific leadership in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. It calls for urgent, ambitious, strategic action backed by whole-of-government support and sustainable funding 🔗 buff.ly/orUA3QO

🪼🦑🦐 🐡 From the 'twilight zone': each night trillions of zooplankton and small marine creatures move from the ocean deep to the surface and back, in the largest animal migration on Earth. What does this mean for carbon transport in the Southern Ocean? aappartnership.org.au/twilig…

How best to prepare for potentially irreversible climate-driven changes to Southern Ocean ecosystems? Crucial new research led by @Holistic_Squid in collaboration with colleagues around the world points to the need for a region-specific modelling ensemble ⬇️ @IMASUTAS

1⃣ For the first time, AAPP/@UTAS_ scientists on the Denman Marine Voyage watch a carnivorous ‘sea slug’ preying on a much smaller ‘sea butterfly’. What's a pteropod? And why should we care? 🎞️Inessa Corney, @IMASUTAS #DMV

FYI, if travelling Hobart to NZ, reconsider travelling #QANTAS you need bags within 48 hrs. I know of 6 people in the last month across 4 flights who have had bags containing essential clothing and PPE delayed on the way to do Sub-Antarctic guiding @Qantas

When not assessing how and why the Southern Ocean is changing, AAPP #PhD student @jameskwyatt is probably running. So what to do when a keen trail-runner is on @CSIRO #RVInvestigator for 38 days? Run a marathon on a treadmill, of course! 🏃‍♂️ Read more at aappartnership.org.au/the-fo…

🌊 Ahoy! Right now a shipload of scientists is bobbing about in the lumpy @_SouthernOcean, to track swirling eddies that transport heat towards #Antarctica with cool tech – including the #SWOT satellite. 🚢 Follow our voyage on @CSIRO RV Investigator at aappartnership.org.au/focus/

Our #RVInvestigator is heading into the heart of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current with @Ant_Partnership to investigate why the current that helps keep the Antarctic frozen is leaking warm water into the polar seas. Here's how they'll do it: csiro.au/en/news/All/News/20…

New paper out today exploring the marine habitat use of Snow Petrels tracked from East Antarctica! Funnily enough, I’m currently on my way to Mawson station for a summer (6 months) to build upon this work with @AusAntarctic @IMASUTAS Link to paper: frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

PAPER ALERT: Humpback whales observed in the Western Weddell Sea for the first time. Thanks to all the team at Polar Whale Watch, @ponant_cruises @happywhale for supporting this work and many other who contribute to the broader project #CCAMLR @AntarcticFund
IMAS@IMASUTAS10 Oct 2023
In the summer of 2022, scientist observers onboard tourist vessels recorded #humpbackwhales in Antarctica’s newly ice-free western Weddell Sea for the 1st time - a poleward shift that's an indicator of a warming climate, IMAS PhD student @afhender said🐋bit.ly/3ZN5eTj
"Incredibly, we have perhaps witnessed another step-change in environmental conditions, seeing firsthand how marine animals are responding to a changing climate," Angus said.

As part of his PhD, Angus is exploring ways to estimate how many and where baleen whales are in the Antarctica Peninsula region of the #southernocean.

This winter, the usually ice-dominated western Weddell Sea again experienced remarkably low sea-ice conditions. And that may transform it into a hotspot for humpback whales in the summer of 2024.

The Earth right now is far warmer than the previously measured record for this time of year. Even with a growing El Niño, the pace and size of the uptick that we've seen this year is pretty shocking.
