2️⃣ A new study by Australian and Japanese researchers led by @kaihezak.bsky.social in @commsearth.nature.com shows the Dibble Polynya in East #Antarctica is a surprising source of deep-ocean ventilation—with important implications for global #ocean currents and #climate systems. ▶️ rdcu.be/eYMct

1️⃣🌊 Coastal polynyas (semi-permanent areas of ice-free ocean) are known as ‘sea ice factories’ because they produce vast amounts of new ice. This process drives the global current system which redistributes heat and #carbon around the world. ▶️ aappartnership.org.au/east-antarct... 📸 @esa.int

Pleased to share our new paper titled “Emerging outflow of not-so-dense shelf water from an East Antarctic polynya” out from CEE 🌏🌊🌱 Inspired by a surprising signal of AABW formation from the polynya, captured in the 2024 MISO cruise. Accessible here: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Savoring a big win with an amazing team of aussie and international ocean scientists. Look out for the upcoming ARC CoE for Our Future Oceans. Very excited to be a programme lead on this and to help ensure it has lasting benefits for the entire oceans community. www.arc.gov.au/news-publica...

1️⃣ Like a heartbeat driving one of the largest seasonal cycles on Earth, Antarctic sea ice is central to the global climate system and vital for unique ecosystems.

Obviously I have skin in this game- being an Australian govt-funded Antarctic scientist and all - but this rolling short-term funding model threatens a world leading concentration of experts at a time when Antarctica is changing faster than govt policy…

Antarctic research jeopardised by 'terminating' funding, scientists say

Australia's ability to conduct strategic, in-depth, and long-term research in Antarctica is being compromised by "terminating" funding models for key programs, scientists warn.

Some (good) personal news - I am so happy to share that today is my first day at Climate Central (as a Climate Scientist). Ready to move the science and communication of it forward in this crucial moment. Follow our work on climate services at @climatecentral.org (Bluesky) & www.climatecentral.org

Scientists in Japan are looking to publish links between global warming and severe weather within days of such events, rather than months, to raise public awareness about climate change.

When extreme weather hits, Japan scientists will have faster answers on climate links

The Weather Attribution Center will aim to publish concrete links between global warming and extreme weather events within days, rather than months.

Antarctica's icebergs are famous for their brilliant whites and blues 🧊 Then, there's the startling green, brown, black and even marbled hues - as seen at the Denman Glacier ice front. But how does it happen? @kaihezak.bsky.social explains ⬇️ #DMV #blog antarctic.org.au/mysteries-of...

@kaihezak.bsky.social is part of the #DMV Oceanography team. He has been testing the sensors attached to these up-to 600m-long moorings for deployment. Once submerged, the sensors will measure ocean temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and current speed. @antarctic.bsky.social 📷: Kaihe Yamazaki
