The sun has set on our Antarctic season.

A challenging and rewarding two months researching Denman Glacier.

We leave with lots of samples to work on in the lab over the coming year!

Hear from me on ABC radio about why we've spent two months camped in Antarctica.

"We're really worried that the Denman Glacier has started to retreat and that this might continue"

Scientists work to unlock secrets of Antarctica's Denman Glacier - ABC listen
Almost 30 Antarctic scientists have spent summer camped at the remote Denman Glacier, working to better understand how the system might change in a warming climate.

Hello from Bunger Hills, our deep field basecamp in East Antarctica!

Great people, great collaborations 🇦🇶

We're collecting records of how the potentially vulnerable Denman Glacier changed before 20th Century retreat🧊📉

Great to see PhD student Cari Rand achieve his dream of going to Antarctica!

His research project is reconstructing rates and magnitudes of past ice loss in East Antarctica from geological records 🪨 🧊

Hear all about our upcoming field work to Denman Glacier on ABC News 📺
including a remote camp 550 km from the nearest station to collect rocks at -30°C 😬
Ever wondered what it's like to live in Antarctica?

Time to begin my 🔵☁️ journey!

Based in Melbourne (Naarm 🦘), I'm a geoscientist/glaciologist/geographer investigating the behaviour of the #Antarctic ice sheet in a changing #climate, and the corresponding impact on #sealevel rise.

Beyond science, I like 🚴⚽ 🛶 🍺 🧀 🎧🏕️
