East Antarctica faces unprecedented threats: record 38.5°C heat in 2022, 28°C heatwave in 2024. Its ice sheet holds 80% of Earth’s freshwater, enough to raise sea levels by 52m. Fishing for krill & toothfish continues without protections. 📷️ John Weller

Let’s talk about the dark side of plastic research: A) Most micro/nanoplastics papers are reviews, not data 📄 ( https://t.co/2kqN5kRl4i) B) Some highly cited, globally hyped papers are just bad—e.g., no proper blanks ( https://t.co/lhi2Lp0WIp) #microplastics #nanoplastics

Words cannot describe what is it like to step out and see Antarctica for the first time 🗻 In our newest publication, we discussed the conservation challenges in Antarctica under increasing plastic and microplastic pollution 🇦🇶 🔗 Check it out: https://t.co/aZVgWBOxeq

The Trump administration is planning to shut down the EPA’s scientific research unit, hurting its ability to do research on the dangers of toxic chemicals and climate change.

Antarctica is changing. Sea ice is shrinking, krill fishing rising, wildlife under stress. Science is clear—collective action must follow. Protecting Antarctica is our shared duty. https://t.co/EGVvgcx2bj

So many new insights and knowledge about Antarctic conservation in a single room! 🇦🇶 Had a blast at the Ant-ICON workshop, met amazing people and learned so much about Antarctic governance. New projects coming up 🎇 📍 Académie du Climat, Paris

Today the 27th Meeting of the Committee for Environmental Protection (#CEP27) began in Milan, with the participation of nearly 450 delegates from state Parties to the Protocol and intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations. 🇮🇹 🇦🇶 #Antarctica #AntarcticaProtected

Antarctica and its surrounding ocean regulate our climate, store carbon, and support life globally. As #ATCM47 kicks off today in Milan, it’s time to act decisively to protect this vital region, for nature and for humanity. https://t.co/Qzq0zFBer1 #ProtectAntarctica

New paper alert! Microplastics in penguins and seals of Antarctica 🇦🇶🐧 Check it out: https://t.co/yjyoforMbn #Antarctica #microplastics #Penguins

Our study found that washing #plastic #containers and #utensils in a dishwasher can release up to 920,000 #plastic particles in a single cycle, adding up to an estimated 33 million particles per household per year globally. @SETAC_plastics @UQ_News @SETAC_AU #mciroplastic #nano

Returned to X for a shameless post of our new paper: https://t.co/FCgniOi2qj @UniExeCornwall @PlymouthMarine

We critically compared FTIR, Raman, EA-MS & SEM-EDS for identifying virgin vs. aged PE & PP under accelerated aging (ASTM G-154). Which technique works best? Key insights for standardizing #plasticpollution monitoring! 🌍 #EnvSci #Microplastics Read more: https://t.co/FLWLMoj2au

Two PhD positions in Iceland. #microplastics in glaciers. Remote, snow.... perfect for the right person. https://t.co/HSH2pGdzaJ

Let's talk micro! Had an amazing time at the 2nd Nano microplastics Australian conference 🥳

Abstract submission for the Climate and Cryosphere Open Science Conference 2026 is now open! Submit your abstracts by 31 July 2025. ➡️
