🚨New Paper!
Led by Joey Bisits, with @janzika.bsky.social, we explore the drivers of cabelling instability in the ocean using a first-of-its-kind turbulence-resolving simulation. See here for energy budgets, diffusion calcs and pretty pictures using Oceananigans: doi.org/10.1017/jfm....

Excited to have been given the opportunity to explain my research to a national audience on ABC Radio National Breakfast. The 5.30 AM wake up was worth it!
“As the current slows down, it could impact the ocean’s ability to really absorb that extra heat and keep us protected, or keep us insulated from the impacts of global climate change.”

Strongest ocean current set to slow as ice sheets melt - ABC listen
The world's strongest ocean current could be about to slow down, as melting ice sheets see an influx of fresh water dumped into the Southern Ocean.

Melting Antarctic ice will slow the world’s strongest ocean current – and the global consequences are profound
Part of the system that pumps water, heat and nutrients around the globe is at risk. Climate change could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current down 20% by 2050.

With OTM, we can infer global ocean heat/freshwater transports, correct air-sea flux products, and more!

Love how Government (& universities) in Australia crow about the amount of funding & number of grants they provide for "world-class research".
But these are tiiiiiny numbers! Basically 50 people working for 2–3 years. Peanuts🥜
More like "world-class underfunding, normalised".

It's harder to get funding for basic research projects than ever before in Australia.
The @arc_gov_au Discovery Projects scheme now has the lowest “success rate” ever: 16.3%.
Only 1 in 6 grants are funded.
Why? The funding available has plummeted.
Please help, Jason Clare MP❗️
