Great to be back on the ice for what we hope is a big season up the hill.
Touchdown on ice.. three MYIC science and drilling team members arrived to Casey Station yesterday after ride in the big jet with other incoming Casey Station crew. Thanks ADF!

We’ve just published the most detailed map yet of the landscape beneath Antarctica’s ice sheet (called Bedmap3), and we learnt some pretty cool facts about Antarctica that you can use to impress your pals. Ready?

In a breakthrough moment of the Denman Terrestrial Campaign, a remote field and research team has deployed a deep-water mooring line between the Scott + Denman Glaciers, to feed back critical long-term data on the area’s warming waters. @antarctic.bsky.social | AAD

Our Antarctic field camp is made up of a series of converted shipping containers which are pulled out to site by bulldozers. We have generator, kitchen, freezer (!), sleeping, dry lab and wet lab spaces. 12 containers in all. And the last on the line is the toilet cubicle.

Do the folks who want to tear up bike lanes not understand that if the cyclists are not in the bike lanes they are in the lanes with the cars? In most cases in their own cars? Which means they are now (noisy, polluting) traffic? More car lanes just means more cars.

A brilliant day to arrive at Casey after a little delay getting here. I'm excited to be back doing airborne geophysical science with ICECAP again. Let's hope for more weather like this! #Antarctica #climatescience

Some very exciting and important work happening this summer by some of my excellent colleagues.
“The Denman [Glacier] system alone has the potential to raise sea levels by 1.5 metres and we know ice shelves can be vulnerable to a warming ocean” — Dr Sarah Thompson, glaciologist with AAPP and @utas.bsky.social
