Excited to do some Antarctic science under the @scar-antarctic.bsky.social umbrella!

Antarctic ice sheet folk, I'm looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow in Antarctic Ice Sheet Reconstruction [readvertised] for a 3.5yr appointment in Tasmania. Very flexible start date! Join our new team, figuring out what is happening and what may happen in East Antarctica. 1/4 ❄️

If you're interested in how ice sheets respond to climate, particularly over very long timescales, you might be interested in our new (open access) paper: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

🌏 Better models = better climate predictions. A new paper led by ACEAS PhD researcher Claire Yung (ANU) shows how a refined equation used in ocean models can significantly improve the accuracy of Antarctic ice shelf melt predictions. ➡️ antarctic.org.au/new-model-co...

So proud of my PhD student Sienna who is working on the oceanography of Antarctica and is an excellent communicator- a great opportunity for her to reach new audiences and hopefully policy makers.

We figured out a cheap-ish way to make ocean models create Dense Shelf Waters (DSW) on the surface of the Antarctic continental shelf! How? Fast answer: Ocean surface cells thinner than 1 m! Long answer on the paper: dx.doi.org/10.1029/2024... ---- More info in the thread

Congratulations @adele-morrison.bsky.social !!! Awarded the IAPSO ECR Medal in Busan today!! Amazing accolade for an exceptional scientist and all-round great person.

🚨 New paper alert 🚨 We developed the new PanAntarctic model and assessed the sensitivity of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) formation and export to horizontal model resolutions of 1/10°, 1/20° and 1/40°. Open access paper in JAMES: doi.org/10.1029/2024...
