🌊 We work to turn our research @utas.edu.au into real-world impact, to inform decision-making that recognises the centrality of #Antarctica and the Southern Ocean to the global climate system. A special report (best viewed on a large screen or laptop) ▶️ aapp.shorthandstories.com/research-and...

5/ That’s where floats can help, bumping their heads on the underside of ice shelves, measuring melt where it happens. Deploying an array of floats around Antarctica's continental shelf would reduce the large uncertainties in estimating future sea level rise. ▶️ theconversation.com/what-our-mis...
🌊 Ocean fronts are boundaries where different water masses collide. They cover about 1/3 of the global ocean but account for nearly 3/4 of total ocean CO2 uptake, absorbing about 1.8 billion tonnes of carbon each year. Research led @utas.edu.au ▶️ tinyurl.com/jtxddyt9 Anim: Kuroshio current by NASA
1/ More than 600km above 🌏, NASA's PACE (standing for Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, Ecosystem) satellite is in a polar orbit. Covering the globe in about two days, it gathers data on ocean colour, aerosols, and clouds enabling the study of climate change and ocean ecosystems.
4/ Turns out it's all to do with how the wind interacts with the ocean. The weakening of winds leads to less ocean water being pushed toward the Antarctic coast, which allows warm water that sits below the surface to flow in that direction instead. The ACCESS-OM2-01 model runs from 1958 to 2018.
🚨 Four new PhD projects in Hobart at @utas.edu.au! Work on precision #climate tracking in the Southern Ocean: 1️⃣ ocean heat uptake 2️⃣ human-induced salinity shifts 3️⃣ energy and sea level budgets 4️⃣ changes in the overturning circulation ⚠️ Applications close 1 April ▶️ www.utas.edu.au/research/deg...
The MYIC @millionyearice.bsky.social project by the Australian Antarctic Program is drilling an ice core to 3,000 metres depth in three-metre segments, and returning the cores in pristine condition to Hobart, Tasmania. Why? And how? Find out at aapp.shorthandstories.com/the-memory-of-ice
3/ This year-long visualisation of PACE chlorophyll data shows areas with high chlorophyll concentration in red and yellow, medium chlorophyll in green and low chlorophyll in blue and purple. This covers one year, revealing the seasonal cycle of phytoplankton activity.
🧵 BY 2030: "The remaining carbon budget to limit global warming to 1.5°C is virtually exhausted and is equivalent to only four years of current emissions." — @pfriedling.bsky.social and @hausfath.bsky.social on the 2025 Global Carbon Budget in @carbonbrief.org ▶️ www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-fos...
It's a powerful feedback loop: more ice shelf melting changes salinities which generates more ocean turbulence, which in turn causes more melting — with major implications for ice shelf stability and global sea level rise.

1/ The overturning circulation is a network of ocean currents transporting heat, carbon, oxygen and nutrients around the world. At the heart of this circulatory system is the global pumphouse of #Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. Animation: NASA-SVS

You cannot claim to support law enforcement while cutting the programs they need. The Trump Administration and House Republicans want to cut the ATF by $285 million. That's hundreds of positions lost and fewer tools and resources to keep people safe.

[President Trump] went and said help is on the way to the Iranian protesters. Time after time over the last, mostly over the last 10 days or so, he has been encouraging the Iranian protesters, and at the same time the Ayatollah has come out and … called him a tyrant,” said @jonathankarl.bsky.social.

Dystopias are everywhere. Utopias rarely help. Protopias are harder to find. If we want balanced thinking, we need exposure to grounded, hopeful futures. Not fantasy. Not fear.
