A team from @UTAS_ & @UOW has created a new method to map water content in Antarctic moss beds. It paves the way for creating a monitoring system that uses greenness & water content to track moss health. 📰 https://t.co/o7XYA90m10 🔗 https://t.co/OpKtXTS7TF 📷 @EC_lambda

You’ve heard about Antarctic sea ice lows - well, here’s the consequences. Over 9,000 emperor penguin chicks from colonies in the Bellingshausen Sea are thought to have died in November 2022. The sea ice they lived on broke up early, before they'd developed waterproof feathers.

Congratulations to the elephant seal tagging team who have successfully tagged 21 seals with CTD transmitters! These seals will now travel the southern ocean, proving invaluable data on ocean dynamics and predator ecology in this region.

2/9 New research from @CSIRO, @AntarcticSciAus, @ccrc_unsw, @AucklandUni and AAPP shows the deep ocean currents in the Australian Antarctic Basin have slowed by approximately 30% over the past three decades, reducing oxygen levels in the deep ocean. https://t.co/OaporJyIUU

Researchers have found that the deep ocean circulation around parts of Antarctica has slowed by 30 per cent since the 1990s, reducing oxygen levels across the world’s deep seas.

Congratulations to @ung_Florian, @NWebster_Micro and the entire team. It was great fun to jointly reveal how taurine is metabolized by a symbiont of the #sponge I. basta and how this connects the sponge, the taurine degrader and an AOA symbiont
