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.

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...
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.
The ice core lab is operated as a partnership between the Australian Antarctic Division and @utas.edu.au. Measuring different chemical components trapped in the ice, this state-of-the-art lab is one of only a few of its kind in the world. Find out more ▶️ aapp.shorthandstories.com/the-memory-o...
🚨 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...
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.
1️⃣ Over the last 30 years, #Antarctica has lost 12,820 square kilometres of grounded ice – larger than the area of Greater Sydney – a new study led by @ucirvine.bsky.social reports. [animation of satellite images from @esa.int shows the evolution of cracks in the Pine Island Glacier during 2019]
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
1️⃣ Antarctic sea ice during winter didn’t use to change very much from year to year. But in recent winters, the extent of ice has crashed to unusually low levels. Which begs the question: what controls how much sea ice can form in winter? 🌊 plot by @edoddridge.bsky.social
Last year, the Admin illegally terminated thousands of grants at the NEA and NEH—agencies that help generate more than $1 TRILLION in economic activity. These cuts don’t just silence voices and stymie creators. They erase the spaces where healing, connection, and community happen. It’s just WRONG!
