🌊 An important new study led by ACEAS PhD researcher Annika Oetjens from @UTAS_ shows the Southern Ocean may be storing 40 to 60 per cent less carbon at certain depths than many climate models assume. Learn more ▶️ antarctic.org.au/southern-ocean…

Antarctic Geopolitical Myths: an occasional series. No. 1: I have decided to run a series of threads to counter incessant basic mistakes made by #Antarctic analysts – especially those who should either know better, or who should have done just the minimum of research. 1/5

Australia’s Tasmania Delegation Visits Korea’s Polar Research Institute — Exploring New Paths for Antarctic Cooperation ikld.kr/news/articleVi… A trade delegation from Tasmania, led by Deputy Premier Guy Barnett, visited the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) to discuss collaboration in Antarctic research and infrastructure. Tasmania is one of the world’s key Antarctic gateway cities—home to the Australian Antarctic Division, the CCAMLR Secretariat, and the University of Tasmania’s Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies. With direct flight and icebreaker links to Antarctica, the delegation introduced their port and aviation systems and explored opportunities for joint work. KOPRI and Tasmania have maintained active exchanges since 2019, supported by the Korea–Australia Foundation. This visit brought together policymakers, scientists, and infrastructure managers to deepen cooperation across Antarctic logistics, science, and environmental research. #Antarctica #KOPRI #Tasmania

1/ Meet SAM. The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) is the Southern Hemisphere’s most influential #climate driver. When the SAM is in positive phase, the westerly winds tighten and move towards #Antarctica. In the negative, these winds expand back towards Australia. (@BOM_au)

🌏 Happy Antarctica Day! ❄️ Today we celebrate global cooperation in protecting and understanding one of Earth’s most unique and fragile environments. A huge thanks to all our researchers for driving this work forward every day. Learn more: youtube.com/watch?v=AGg3... 🎥
