New model correction improves predictions of Antarctic ice shelf melt - ACEAS A new study led by ACEAS PhD researcher Claire Yung from ANU introduces a correction to ocean models that could significantly improve global sea-level rise predictions from Antarctic ice shelf melt.

🌏 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.

I went to FRISP last month, my first international conference and so worth the long trip! I came back inspired to dive back into my research.
Big thanks to Anna Wåhlin for hosting me (including a fun field trip to beautiful Bornö) and to IMAS travel scheme and AAPP for the support from home!

🌊 After more than 50 days away, the shipload of science aka the Denman Marine Voyage on RSV Nuyina has left the sea ice and is heading for home.

Moorings: Sentinels to monitor ocean heat when we’re not there - AAPP Like weather stations for the sea, the Denman Marine Voyage has installed three moorings off the ice shelf to monitor ocean heat

🌊 Like weather stations for the sea, the Denman Marine Voyage #DMV has installed three moorings off the ice shelf in East #Antarctica, to monitor ocean heat for the next few years before we come back to get them.

Check out what our dream team has done so far during the Denman voyage 🌊!!

Day 33: 🥞🍮🧁🐳….

Yesterday was the Penguin Waddle, celebrating 150 years of Penguin Town in Tasmania🐧.

Day 26: Every day is a day to celebrate!

Mar 21st is the World Glacier, World Poetry and French Bread Day. We celebrated all of them — learning the word “poem” in different languages (including Australian 😉), reciting poetry, writing glacier versions (ACEAS story) and eating French bread 🥖

Day 21: 🧊

Day 16: The icebreaker is now breaking the ice!!

Day 15: Some ups and downs, but we have a good starting point 💪

Benoit, Kaihe and crew successfully deploy the EM-APEX float with the help from different groups! I got the best spot to watch and successfully captured their smiling faces 😊

#DMV

Huge congratulations Christina 🥳 I’m one of the lucky ones witnessing you press the historic button :)

Day 10: Heaps of 🐋 (humpback) came to visit us too :)

Day 10: We tested the mooring sensors using a very old-fashioned way—radio. If the sensor was awake, we’d hear it sing with a bi-bi-bi sound over the radio. It was really fun, but we had to set an alarm to catch them; otherwise, we’d have to wait another half hour for the next signal.

Day 0: I’m thrilled to receive so many gifts, even though I have to return a large portion of them 🥰

I was hesitant about downloading yet another APP, but I’m surprised by the science party here. Hello Bluesky🌻! I’m here to share my voyage diary 🚢
