🎧 Listen in to @Antarcticmoss on Antarctic moss!
She recently recorded a conversation with Plant Kingdom about the incredible and fragile #moss ecosystems in #Antarctica.

🦠 Is the #atmosphere Earth's largest microbial ecosystem?
SAEF Associate Investigator @RachaelLappan researches #microbes in the atmosphere.
She's trying to determine if microbes simply use the air for transport or if it's a permanent home.

Historical photos from the 1960s have extended the record of what glaciers looked like decades before the Larsen-B ice shelf collapsed.

Isn't the ozone hole closing? Yes – but it's lasted longer than normal in recent years.
As @Antarcticmoss (@UOW) + colleagues (@UCNZ) explain, that means Antarctica's plants and animals are being hit with much higher UV levels in summer. theconversation.com/longer-l…

Australia just had its 3rd warmest spring on record based on maximum temperatures, with an anomaly of +1.33ºC relative to the 1991-2020 average. The national mean temperature anomaly of +0.83ºC was the 5th highest on record.

Our @monash_uni scientists have touched down in #Hobart ahead of their expedition to the Denman Glacier w. @ausantarctic.
It's tricky to pack light when you're off to #Antarctica for 2 months!

What is #CCAMLR, #ATCM, #ACAP ?? 🤷♀️
Need a beginners guide to the #AntarcticTreaty?? 🇦🇶
Me too! That's why we've put together a practical introduction to the #Antarctic science-policy interface!

Nice work, @Microclimate_ and Johan!
Thanks for supporting our event!
It was a pleasure to present with Johan at todays #Women’s #Research #Engineering Network symposium on our #smartsensing system in #Antarctica
WREN is by women, for women, led by @UOW and @usponline 💄👩🔬
Thanks for having us @thewrenglobal

Scientists from around the world worked on the latest IPCC report for almost a decade.
But according to leaked documents, many of their recommendations were removed or altered significantly.

Despite an incredibly fast melt of ice shelves (Brunt, Wilkins, George VI,...), which are generating enormous amounts of meltwater, cooling the top layer of the ocean, we see rapid sea ice decline.
Wind patterns are one thing, but the mixing ocean layers are also very important.

ALT Line graph time series of 2022's daily Antarctic sea-ice area compared to each year from 1979 to 2021. Lines are colored from purple in 1979 to white in 2021. 2022 is shown in red. There are no statistically significant long-term trends visible in this graph for the month of December. Data are smoothed using a 5-day running mean from the Sea Ice Index v3.
