Voyages like those underway to the Denman Glacier don't just get organised overnight - it takes years. This one started in 2019. Hear more about why it's worth that time commitment youtu.be/la6IPul3lYI Read more about the story here: antarctic.org.au/denman-marin...

Hey #geodesy folk - consider nominating someone for an @agu.org honour (medal/awardk/lecture or as AGU Fellow). If you're ECR/MCR don't be afraid to ask someone to nominate you. There are often very few nominations for these - so definitely worth considering! www.agu.org/honors/nomin...

If you want to follow along, check out the ship track and two Web cams www.antarctica.gov.au/antarctic-op...

SCAR fellowship applications are open. If you're an ECR interested in a collaborative visit to ANU to work together on Southern Ocean processes, please get in touch. Australia is a great place to be right now! scar.org/fellowships-...

About halfway from Hobart to #Antarctica, RSV Nuyina is meeting the Southern Ocean head on. Track the ship's progess on the Denman Marine Voyage #DMV at www.antarctica.gov.au/antarctic-op... and follow our voyage blog at aappartnership.org.au/DMV/ 📹 Pete Harmsen/AAD

Hear Dr @taimoorsohail.bsky.social discuss this important work on Australia's ABC Radio National. So good for people across our nation to hear about this finding and the risks associated - nice job Taimoor! 🌊 www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

🚨 Applications for the 2025 SCAR Fellowships are now open! 🚨 With up to $15,000 in funding and 4–5 fellowships available, this is your chance to collaborate internationally and advance your research. ➡️ Apply by 31 July 2025 scar.org/scar-news/20...

Great piece by @taimoorsohail.bsky.social et al in The Conversation about the findings of their latest paper that just got out at Environmental Research Letters (doi.org/10.1088/1748...) regarding the biggest ocean current of all. 🌊 theconversation.com/melting-anta...

Hello Bluesky! EGU is pleased to be able to activate our account here, and share all the exciting news about the upcoming General Assembly: #EGU25, our #OpenAccess publications and more!

Just moved! 👋 Follow us to get all your #EGU_geodesy news, including new blog posts and updates during #EGU25.

Antarctic melt may slow the world's largest ocean current - "far-reaching impacts on global climate patterns, oceanic heat distribution, and marine ecosystems”. More important work from @antarcticsciaus.bsky.social colleagues led by @taimoorsohail.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Tasmanian geology nerds! I need your help. Does anyone have info on the cliffs near the Arch of Bruny Island where sedimentary rocks meet dolerite?

Many years in the making, the first dedicated marine science voyage on board Australian icebreaker RSV Nuyina is almost here. The two-month-long Denman Marine Voyage (DMV) is due to depart Hobart this afternoon. www.antarctica.gov.au/news/2025/de...

We wish our researchers, partners and all aboard RSV Nuyina a successful mission south to study changes to the Denman Glacier system from the ocean. #DMV - it's finally here! @antarctic.bsky.social | @arcsaef.bsky.social | AAD

🧪🚢 Hydrobox is a chemistry lab in a shipping container. Funded by ARC, run by CSIRO, Hydrobox is on RSV Nuyina for it's first trip to #Antarctica to deliver data for AAPP and @antarcticsciaus.bsky.social teams in our ocean research aboard the #Denman Marine Voyage. 🌊 www.csiro.au/en/news/All/...

Fascinating www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Extraordinary. The US under Trump is walking away from one major international treaty after another.

China is planning a new summer research station in West #Antarctica. There are no stations in Marie Byrd Land at the moment, so there is a clear scientific value. China claims to establish an international hub for research there, … documents.ats.aq/atcm47/att/a...

It's getting real: ✅ Refresher on oxygen titration ✅ Lab inductions on board 📝 3 days left to write up my PhD thesis We are heading to Antarctica for 2 months on Friday. Read about the #Denman Marine Voyage here www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02... More ❄️🇦🇶🐧 coming soon! @antarcticsciaus.bsky.social

Timeline cleanser

The Denman Glacier has a world of unknowns but we know enough to know it holds risks we need to assess. This voyage is so important. Nice summary here www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

🌊 One week until a crucial science mission departs Hobart: the Denman Marine Voyage to East #Antarctica will investigate the impacts of global warming on the rapidly retreating #Denman glacier and the implications for sea level rise. Follow our journey 🚢 aappartnership.org.au/DMV/ @utas.edu.au

Great work!

Nice spot

Why we can't put Antarctic funding on ice: Australia’s commitment to Antarctica needs to eliminate repeated short-term funding crises, writes Matt King in (@deformedearth.bsky.social) today's Mercury newspaper. www.themercury.com.au | @utas.edu.au

The SWOT satellite mission is revolutionising ocean research. So much so that things that weren't a problem in altimeter missions now are. 1/2 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... 🌊

Sea ice in the Arctic and around Antarctica cool our climate, drive ocean circulation across the planet, and provide a unique habitat for polar ecosystems. Sea ice amounts have now fallen to their lowest since we started measuring them. This is not good. 🌊🥼❄️🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Australia needs a second Antarctic ship so it's world class icebreaker can do its science job. It also needs researchers who can plan voyages and then go. theconversation.com/this-is-aust...

"This report reinforces what the Antarctic science community has known for years—Australia’s leadership in Antarctic research is at risk without stronger, long-term investment." – Dr Jane Younger, @utas.edu.au www.scimex.org/newsfeed/exp...

Join scientists from @utas.edu.au and @antarcticsciaus.bsky.social in East #Antarctica as they plumb the depths of the ocean under an ice shelf with a power tool, a long drill, lots of line—and plenty of stamina.

It's great to have Sridhar visiting with us, he's one of the best. So many good discussions already.
