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.

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.

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

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.

“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.”

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.

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

Last month two papers published in Nature showed unexpected results about where and how fast the Thwaites Glacier is melting.
The MELT and @icefinrobot teams behind these results worked in extreme Antarctic conditions in 2019 and 2020. What did that look like? 🧵 1/6
