NEWS BRIEFING: What we don't know might hurt us - Antarctica's unexplored threat ***RECORDING NOW AVAILABLE*** A region of Antarctica with enough ice to raise sea levels by three to four m

Si toute la glace du bassin de Wilkes fondait, le niveau de la mer sur Terre monterait de 3 à 4 mètres. C’est déjà arrivé par le passé, à des températures que nous risquons d’atteindre.

A region of Antarctica with one of the greatest potential contributions to reshape the natural world and human society is also the least scientifically understood and explored. A major new global revi...

New research by two scientists from the Australian Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Science (ACEAS) suggests that recent Antarctic sea-ice losses may be responsible for lower phytoplankton biomass i...

More than 400 polar experts from Australia and around the world have gathered at the University of Tasmania this week for the Australian Antarctic Research Conference (AARC), as Antarctica and the Sou...

A team of Australian and global researchers have published the first peer-reviewed research paper from the landmark Denman Terrestrial Campaign, offering an unprecedented glimpse beneath one of Antarctica's most important and least understood glaciers.

New Antarctic research shows the deepest layer of the Southern Ocean is shrinking faster than scientists realised, with the rate of change accelerating over the past decade.

Modelling shows summer-warmed surface waters are the primary cause of melt in the Denman-Shackleton ice shelf system

A vast area of the Bellingshausen Sea should be covered by sea ice by now, with one expert calling the loss of ice ‘depressing’

Australian Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Science (ACEAS) Chief Investigator, Professor Philip Boyd, has been elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science.

Abstract. Ice cores contain stratified layers of impurities scavenged from the atmosphere, which are a vital tool for investigating the Earth system. Reconstructing past eruption records by way of ice...

What scientists saw in Antarctica this summer could affect the weather everywhere from Cairns to Cannes.

It transports far more than 100 times as much water as all of the Earth's rivers combined: The Antarctic Circumpolar Current rushes around the southern continent unhindered by land masses and is there...
