🌊 Research out today reveals a potential 'missing link' in Antarctic sea-ice melt: ocean waves.
By flooding, pulverising and even 'greening' ice floes, waves reduce reflectivity and accelerate seasonal melt, helping explain gaps in climate models.

“With Antarctic fur seals now listed as Endangered, it is more important than ever to understand how they are responding to changes in their environment across their Southern Ocean range,” Dr Friscourt said.
Drawing on more than a decade of data – including linked tracking, whisker, and blood sample analysis – the research suggests that whilst diversity may buffer populations against change, climate impacts might not be felt evenly, as warming oceans disrupt key food sources like Antarctic krill.
New research led by Dr Noémie Friscourt from @imas-utas.bsky.social at @utas.edu.au, and including co-author and ACEAS CI Professor @pelagicblue.bsky.social, shows that individuals use very different foraging strategies – from highly specialised to wide-ranging 'explorers'.
🦭 Endangered Antarctic fur seals don't all behave in the same way – and that matters for climate resilience.

🌊 How far do ocean waves reach into Antarctic sea ice?
New research finds ~16% of Antarctic sea ice is wave-affected – changing how we understand the Marginal Ice Zone and providing new clues to help interrogate recent rapid sea ice decline since 2016.

This remarkable seasonal change in Antarctic sea ice is like a heartbeat within our planet’s climate system. We need to better understand it.

Abstract. Ice cores contain stratified layers of impurities scavenged from the atmosphere, which are a vital tool for investigating the Earth system. Reconstructing past eruption records by way of ice...
