The SAEF team enjoying a sunny day at the beach in the Bunger Hills. 😎 This was no lazy day on the sand, the team were hard at work collecting samples and data. 📊🪨🌿 They report it was still a bit cold for a swim in the frozen ocean. 🥶 ➡️ arcsaef.com/denman-terrest…

After being snowed in at the Bunger Hills ⛺️ we headed back out to the Denman Glacier for one last week on the ice, looking for clues (of the 🪨 variety) that will reveal the history of the glacier since the last ice age 🧊.

Collecting the steep bedrock samples with Richard Selwyn Jones Corey Port Jacinda O'Connor for cosmogenic nuclide dating to better understand the thinning history of East Antarctica's Denman Glacier❄️🏔️☄️ Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future Monash Earth, Atmosphere and Environment 🌏🌪️🍃 Monash Science Monash Ice Sheet Initiative (MISI) antarctica.gov.au

The sun has set on our Antarctic season. A challenging and rewarding two months researching Denman Glacier. We leave with lots of samples to work on in the lab over the coming year! Follow Jacinda O'Connor Corey Port Levan Tielidze for updates!

Terrific piece in The Age about the science that has been conducted as part of the Denman Terrestrial Campaign this summer. SAEF scientists Richard Selwyn Jones & Laura Phillips share their experiences. antarctica.gov.au Australian Centre for Antarctic Science (ACEAS) Australian Antarctic Program Partnership Angus Dalton theage.com.au/environment/cl…

A well composed, insightful and entertaining interview from Jacinda O'Connor about our field work this season. Very proud supervisor 😊

Excited to speak to Dr Shane Huntington OAM on 3RRR Einstein A Go Go from 11-12 today, about our recent deep field campaign in East Antarctica! below: view of the team Richard Selwyn Jones, Levan Tielidze and Corey Port hiking across the incredible Cape Jones beside Denman Glacier❄️🗻

Tuesday afternoon I will present initial results from our work on combining published cosmogenic nuclide data with biological (Antarctic springtail) records to understand Antarctic Ice Sheet histories. CR1.3: X5.167 between 16.15-18.00 PM. Come chat!!! #EGU24 #Antarctica 🇦🇶

Directed by Steven [Chown] & featuring a stacked line-up of scientists, including a globe-trotting Dr Jones [Richard Selwyn Jones] David Clarke Levan Tielidze Jacinda O'Connor Corey Port Toby Travers and more! Researchers of the Lost Ice is on our website now! 👉 arcsaef.com/story/research…

"12,000 Years in Greenland" based on the 2023 PhD Dissertation of Roger Creel 4 line graphs all showing 12,000 years: -Top sky curve: June Insolation at 65 degrees N -Lower sky curve: surface air temperature at the GIS -Top of the ice: volume of the GIS -Bottom of the ice: GMSL

New research shows that past changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation have significantly impacted temperatures in New Zealand. Check out the piece in The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand by the research team including Andrew Mackintosh ❄️ ⤵️

New paper out on Holocene thinning in Greenland! - rising air & ocean temperatures possibly drove retreat at start of the Holocene - rapid thinning then occurred at 10-8.5 ka due to marine ice sheet instability - paleo rates are at the upper bounds of contemporary ice streams
