The Southern Ocean, which surrounds Antarctica, plays a major role in forming Earth鈥檚 deepest waters. Watch our new video, with stunning visualisations, for a peek into these incredible but hidden ocean realms, and learn why understanding this process matters for global climate. #NCRISImpact

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 鉂勶笍

馃審 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. 鉃★笍 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

Basically, thinner surface layers are required to represent the Ekman-driven transport of freshwater off the continental shelf, which then allows salinity build up on the shelf by sea ice production
