🎧 Listen in to @Antarcticmoss on Antarctic moss!
She recently recorded a conversation with Plant Kingdom about the incredible and fragile #moss ecosystems in #Antarctica.

Real-time monitoring of biological changes in #Antarctica is extremely difficult to achieve, but necessary to understand ecosystem responses to cyclic and long-term climate shifts.
Read about how we’re tackling this problem 👇🏼 Led by @DanaMBergstrom Jane Wasley @Antarcticmoss

🦠 Is the #atmosphere Earth's largest microbial ecosystem?
SAEF Associate Investigator @RachaelLappan researches #microbes in the atmosphere.
She's trying to determine if microbes simply use the air for transport or if it's a permanent home.

Historical photos from the 1960s have extended the record of what glaciers looked like decades before the Larsen-B ice shelf collapsed.

By the time sea ice/snow melts & life returns to Antarctica each summer, the ozone hole is usually on its way to closing. But recently it’s extended well into summer and coincided with heatwaves and low sea ice extent, leaving plants & animals exposed to unseasonably high UV.

Covering all disciplines of #Antarctic science, we’re bringing together #AusAntarctic scientists to share knowledge all in one place.
I’m on the organising committee for this conference. Let me know if there’s something you’d really love to see!
📅 Save the date!
The Australian Antarctic Research Conference is being held 19 - 22 November and everyone in the Australian Antarctic community is invited.
Please share!

Isn't the ozone hole closing? Yes – but it's lasted longer than normal in recent years.
As @Antarcticmoss (@UOW) colleagues (@UCNZ) explain, that means Antarctica's plants and animals are being hit with much higher UV levels in summer. theconversation.com/longer-l…

Australia just had its 3rd warmest spring on record based on maximum temperatures, with an anomaly of 1.33ºC relative to the 1991-2020 average. The national mean temperature anomaly of 0.83ºC was the 5th highest on record.

Our @monash_uni scientists have touched down in #Hobart ahead of their expedition to the Denman Glacier w. @ausantarctic.
It's tricky to pack light when you're off to #Antarctica for 2 months!

On Sunday I was on board the most spectacular scenic flight to #Antarctica as a science ambassador representing @AntarcticSF & @saef_arc @UOW
ASF supported me in my PhD & I was proud to represent them talking #science, #climate & #moss
Grateful for such a special experience 🤍

Blue skies over Victoria Land meant spectacular views of #CapeAdare & #MtErebus 🌋
Erebus is an active #volcano 3794m with a visible #lava lake 1000°C inside the crater!

A landscape that appears still, but is very much in motion.
A network of #glaciers dissect the #Transantarctic mountains near #CapeAdare
Ice shuffles down mountains to form large #crevasse fields
The central glacier shown here is over 25km wide!
