Excited to do some Antarctic science under the @scar-antarctic.bsky.social umbrella!
SCAR is delighted to announce the 2025 SCAR Fellows! 🎉 Six outstanding early-career researchers were selected from a highly competitive pool.
Thanks to the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation for supporting a dedicated Fellowship.
Congratulations! ❄️

Antarctic ice sheet folk, I'm looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow in Antarctic Ice Sheet Reconstruction [readvertised] for a 3.5yr appointment in Tasmania. Very flexible start date!
Join our new team, figuring out what is happening and what may happen in East Antarctica. 1/4

If you're interested in how ice sheets respond to climate, particularly over very long timescales, you might be interested in our new (open access) paper:

🌏 Better models = better climate predictions.
A new paper led by ACEAS PhD researcher Claire Yung (ANU) shows how a refined equation used in ocean models can significantly improve the accuracy of Antarctic ice shelf melt predictions.

New model correction improves predictions of Antarctic ice shelf melt - ACEAS
A new study led by ACEAS PhD researcher Claire Yung from ANU introduces a correction to ocean models that could significantly improve global sea-level rise predictions from Antarctic ice shelf melt.

So proud of my PhD student Sienna who is working on the oceanography of Antarctica and is an excellent communicator- a great opportunity for her to reach new audiences and hopefully policy makers.
We're thrilled to announce the three fellows selected for the "Ice Narratives: Antarctic Science for Policy Makers" Fellowship:
Diane Pavat, Sienna Blanckensee, Matt Koller
Huge congratulations! 🎉

We figured out a cheap-ish way to make ocean models create Dense Shelf Waters (DSW) on the surface of the Antarctic continental shelf! How?
Fast answer: Ocean surface cells thinner than 1 m!
Long answer on the paper: dx.doi.org/10.1029/2024...

Antarctic Dense Water Formation Sensitivity to Ocean Surface Cell Thickness
The ability of ocean models with depth coordinates to form Antarctic Dense Shelf Water (DSW) depends on their surface vertical resolution
Deeper surface cells shift the direction of surface Ekman...

🚨 New paper alert 🚨
We developed the new PanAntarctic model and assessed the sensitivity of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) formation and export to horizontal model resolutions of 1/10°, 1/20° and 1/40°.
