So very important that the Australian Government has released its evidence-based climate risk assessment. It explains so clearly that climate risks are not far off, but right now and very soon. Risks are not limited, but widespread and, indeed, touch us all. 1/4 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Breaking: First climate risk assessment finds 1.5m Australians at risk from sea level rise by 2050

One and a half million Australians are at risk from sea levels rising by 2050 unless climate change can be limited, Australia’s first national climate risk assessment warns.

One of the biggest challenges in predicting Antarctica’s deeply uncertain future is understanding exactly what’s driving its ice loss writes @czhao-ice.bsky.social in @aunz.theconversation.com: utas.au/gJ

Our new Nature Communications paper on hidden water beneath Antarctica is making waves — featured by 60news outlets after an interview with AAP. Subglacial water could speed up ice loss and sea-level rise. Read more: www.mandurahmail.com.au/story/893875... #ClimateScience #Antarctica #SeaLevelRise

Hidden water study raises Antarctic melting alarm

The rate of ice melting in Antarctica could be underestimated by current scientific models, according to research examining...

If the role of subglacial water in Antarctic ice loss is not properly accounted for, future sea level rise may be vastly underestimated, researchers warn in this crucial new study in @naturecomms.bsky.social ⬇️

A new study by researchers in Tasmania, Finland and France — published in @naturecomms.bsky.social today — reveals that water flowing beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet plays a much bigger role in ice loss than current models assume. @aunz.theconversation.com ▶️ theconversation.com/antarcticas-...

This week, my 5-year-old daughter at prep came home talking about her class keyword: Earthcare. In a video, she explained it by talking about Antarctic melting. Perfect timing—our latest study was published in @naturecomms.bsky.social we’ve explained it in plain language @aunz.theconversation.com

Water flowing under the Antarctic Ice Sheet lubricates the base, speeding ice flow into the ocean. Most models oversimplify it. We showed just how much that matters—especially near the grounding line. Huge thanks to ARC, @antarctic.bsky.social , @antarcticsciaus.bsky.social for support.
