This study was done in collaboration with some lovely people too:
@adele-morrison.bsky.social @andyhogg.bsky.social @dkhutch.bsky.social @wilmahuneke.bsky.social, Paul Spence, Pedro Colombo and Kial Stewart!

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.
Excited to do some Antarctic science under the @scar-antarctic.bsky.social umbrella!
Basically, thinner surface layers are required to represent the Ekman-driven transport of freshwater off the continental shelf, which then allows salinity build up on the shelf by sea ice production
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

đ 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.

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:

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°.

Congratulations @adele-morrison.bsky.social !!! Awarded the IAPSO ECR Medal in Busan today!! Amazing accolade for an exceptional scientist and all-round great person.
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!
