One of the principal factors influencing mass loss and sea level contribution from … the Antarctic Ice Sheet currently and in future centuries is the melting of ice … shelves by the ocean. These floating extensions of the ice sheet buttress against … ice-sheet movement…
Southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) migrate between Austral-winter calving and socialising grounds to offshore mid- to high latitude Austral-summer feeding grounds. In Australasia…
The Totten Glacier in East Antarctica, with an ice volume equivalent to >3.5?m of global sea-level rise, is grounded below sea level and, therefore, vulnerable to ocean forcing. Here…
Improving our understanding of the effects of satellite tags on large whales is a critical step in ongoing tag development to minimise potential health effects whilst addressing important research questions that enhance conservation management policy. In 2014…
Between March 15-19, 2022, East Antarctica experienced an exceptional heatwave with widespread 30-40° C temperature anomalies across the ice sheet. This record-shattering event saw numerous monthly temperature records being broken including a new all-time temperature record of -9.
Between March 15-19, 2022, East Antarctica experienced an exceptional heatwave with widespread 30-40° C temperature anomalies across the ice sheet. In Part I, we assessed the meteorological drivers that generated an intense atmospheric river (AR)…
Changes in sea ice conditions and atmospheric circulation over the Southern Ocean play an important role in modulating Antarctic climate. However, observations of both sea ice and wind conditions are limited in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, both temporally and spatially…
The oxygen and deuterium isotopic composition of ice represent a prodigal source of information for the reconstruction of past climate.
A new approach was developed for Australia’s 2011 national State of the Environment (SoE) report to integrate the assessment of biophysical and human elements of the environment. A Common Assessment and Reporting Framework (CARF) guided design and implementation…
PILOT (the Pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope) is a proposed 2.5-m optical/ … infrared telescope to be located at Dome C on the Antarctic plateau. Conditions at Dome C are known to … be exceptional for astronomy. The seeing (above ¡30m height), coherence time…
Antarctic snowfall exhibits substantial variability over a range of time scales, with consequent … impacts on global sea level and the mass balance of the ice sheets. To assess how snowfall has … affected the thickness of the ice sheets in Antarctica and to provide an extended perspective…
This work provides a summary and evaluation of the nature and origins of the legal system of the Australian Antarctic Territory. It considers the legislative scheme for the identification of the appropriate laws for the Territory, and then provides a compendium of those federal…
