My PhD student, Ammu Sanjayan, made this amazing cake for the "Bake your PhD" competition RSES holds yearly. She studies the Antarctic ice cover using the waves of distant earthquakes that reverberate within and beneath the ice layer to characterize its thickness and properties

The swishing waters around seamounts could account for about one third of ocean mixing. New research from @ali_mashayek @Cambridge_Uni, comments from Callum Shakespeare @anuearthscience, story by @robotopia. https://t.co/xM8nHt7shP

Seamounts may play a significant role in ocean turbulence and the upwelling of deep waters.

A student-led team of @anuearthscience seismologists has shed new light on the natural explosion that initiated the massive Hunga Tonga underwater volcano event two years ago. https://t.co/LQ59uE1fIT

The Hunga Tonga underwater volcano was one of the largest volcanic eruptions in history, and now, two years later, new research from ANU has revealed its main trigger.

We showed that a large volume of ocean water above the volcano was uplifted as a result of explosion & solid earth rebounded immediately, resulting in a huge vertical force upward. A great shot of Jinyin & Son with our Terrawulf, used to run inversions & waveform simulations 🌋🌋

Dr Georgy Falster is demystifying science one letter at a time with @LettersPreSci “You have a chance to literally change someone's life. You're opening up the world to a student who might have never considered what it means to be a scientist,” she says. https://t.co/LdJlOGGkYZ
