“This is a wake-up call,” said author and ACEAS Deputy Director, @profmattengland.bsky.social (UNSW). “The evidence shows us clearly that the MOC has slowed down, and if this trend continues the impacts on human societies, climate and ecosystems will be profound.”

Our new Explainer, published today, answers crucial questions about the MOC and helps distil complex science into clear insights for decision-makers.

The full panel included: Professor @climatenerilie.bsky.social (AAD), Dr @ariaan.bsky.social (Monash), @profmattengland.bsky.social (UNSW), Professor @janstrugnell.bsky.social (JCU), and Dr Barbara Wienecke (AAD).

Hi @danambergstrom.bsky.social, thanks for your comment and apologies for the oversight. You’re absolutely right that recognising women leaders is critical – and we deeply value the incredible women driving Antarctic science – including our wonderful former Deputy Director Nerilie Abram

🪨 The project will combine new geological observations with numerical modelling to quantify past ice sheet retreat during the previous warm Pliocene epoch (3–3.3 million years ago), which is an analogue for climatic conditions expected within decades.

🦭 Krill declines ripple through the #SouthernOcean food web and #AntarcticFurSeals feel the impact.

Our latest ACEAS Explainer shows how these seals help researchers understand ecosystem change and provide vital data to inform global krill management.

🌊 This seasonal melting dynamic – largely missing from current climate models – means global sea level rise could be considerably underestimated unless future models account for it.

It’s a powerful reminder that climate change isn’t new – but the pace and scale we face today is.
