❄️ A landmark new study has revealed that glaciers on Australia’s remote sub-Antarctic Heard Island are shrinking at an accelerating rate due to rising temperatures and climate change.

Fighting the Monday blues with some lab work 🥼
Kicking off the week etching some quartz samples in HF 🪨🧪
📢 New paper alert 📢
Amazing interdisciplinary effort by Emma bringing together Antarctic ice sheet and biological evidence.
But what does it tell us? 👇
Three staff members in the School of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment @monashuniversity.bsky.social were promoted to Senior Lecturer this week. All inspiring scientists and educators. Let’s walk through them one by one.
🥳🥳🥳
Accessing the vast and remote Denman Glacier system in Australian territory in East Antarctica by ocean is a monumental task, and after many years of planning and collaboration it’s a reality ⬇️

The work is mysterious and important.
28 people have added their names already. If you'd like to join us in solidarity and to emphasise the importance of EDI in polar science, then let me know.

Can you add me to the list? Thanks, Bethan!
Yep, it sure was!
So satisfying when there’s such a stark contrast between the magnetic and non-magnetic grains coming from a single rock 🪨 🧲.
Said rocks are now crushed, and getting ready for cosmogenic dating (here’s one of them under a microscope 💎).
For #FieldworkFriday, here’s some footage from one of my favourite field days - collecting samples out by Denman Glacier, East #Antarctica. Wind howling, ice crystals piercing the air, and lovely quartzy rock (which we sampled using an angle grinder). Sound warning for those with headphones!
Next step: Feeding the rocks to Boyd (the rock/jaw crusher) 🪨💥🔨
So cool!
