Our latest paper on #krill in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment examines climate change impacts on krill population, behaviour and its implications to fisheries management @AusAntarctic @Ant_Partnership @SpringerNature Read here: rdcu.be/dtYsw nature.com/articles/s4301…

A team from @UTAS_ & @UOW has created a new method to map water content in Antarctic moss beds. It paves the way for creating a monitoring system that uses greenness & water content to track moss health. 📰 doi.org/10.1002/rse2.3… 🔗arcsaef.com/story/a-new-me… 📷 @EC_lambda

You’ve heard about Antarctic sea ice lows - well, here’s the consequences. Over 9,000 emperor penguin chicks from colonies in the Bellingshausen Sea are thought to have died in November 2022. The sea ice they lived on broke up early, before they'd developed waterproof feathers.

Congratulations Kerrie! More power for science and the environment. Professor Kerrie Wilson appointed Queensland Chief Scientist - Ministerial Media Statements statements.qld.gov.au/statements/983…

This one goes out to all the leaders out there. We're looking for a Scott Base Summer Leader to ensure science and Scott Base Redevelopment activities are delivered safely and effectively. Interested?👉 bit.ly/3Q5i909 📷 @Antzkiwi

Come join us @aims_gov_au! Three (!!) new permanent research scientist opportunities are available to work in our Reef Recovery Adaptation & Restoration Program: - Coral Early-life Ecology - Applied Ecological Genetics - Coral Phenomics and Symbiosis shorturl.at/qvCHJ

@MichiWagner4 @Ung_Florian @DOME_Vienna @ute_hentschel @LoyTeam Fantastic Florian- a huge congratulations!!

Congratulations to @Ung_Florian @DOME_Vienna who successfully defended his PhD thesis "Ecophysiology of the symbiont microbiome in the sponge Ianthella basta" today. Many thanks to the referees @ute_hentschel & #JasperdeGoeij and @LoyTeam for an interesting defense 🍾

Congratulations Sharon- so very well deserved, an incredible scientist and mentor to so many!

Today our cartographers released new Antarctic and Arctic maps - with lots of changes to these fast changing and fragile places: 🧊 ice sheet loss 🌊 new sea ice data 📌 using indigenous town names in the Canadian Arctic #WorldOceansDay #climatechange tinyurl.com/mrx6atff

Rather more female Heads of Delegation at my 20th #AntarcticTreaty meeting than there were at my 1st! #DiversityMatters #InternationalCooperation 🐧🥶👩‍👩‍👧‍👧👍

Congratulations to the elephant seal tagging team who have successfully tagged 21 seals with CTD transmitters! These seals will now travel the southern ocean, proving invaluable data on ocean dynamics and predator ecology in this region.

@AusAntarctic A remarkable season by the @AusAntarctic, despite the logistical challenges this remote and extreme continent throws up! Excited to see the science outcomes that emerge from this ambitious season..

“This slowdown has the potential to disrupt the connection between the Antarctic coasts and the deep ocean, with profound consequences for Earth’s climate, sea level and marine life.” theconversation.com/antarctic-alar…

8/9 “If anything, our models are a bit behind where the observations are already tracking.” – @ProfMattEngland, @UNSWScience [Video: @Science_Academy] vimeo.com/810755521/d67e…

2/9 New research from @CSIRO, @AntarcticSciAus, @ccrc_unsw, @AucklandUni and AAPP shows the deep ocean currents in the Australian Antarctic Basin have slowed by approximately 30% over the past three decades, reducing oxygen levels in the deep ocean. aappartnership.org.au/antarctic-deep…

The beauty of field work on #subAntarctic #MacquarieIsland. We’ve been out hiking & working for 8 days for our @saef_arc science. It’s great to be back. Thanks for supporting our science @AusAntarctic !! @amywpliu @SeaSpongeCake @QUT

Congratulations to @ung_Florian, ⁦@NWebster_Micro⁩ and the entire team. It was great fun to jointly reveal how taurine is metabolized by a symbiont of the #sponge I. basta and how this connects the sponge, the taurine degrader and an AOA symbiont nature.com/articles/s4139…
