Iconic St Kilda Pier in Melbourne, Australia
❄️ A landmark new study has revealed that glaciers on Australia’s remote sub-Antarctic Heard Island are shrinking at an accelerating rate due to rising temperatures and climate change.

Fram and Gjøa in one place is a lot
Wilson’s Promontory or Yiruk Wamoon, 3 hours drive from Melbourne, Australia, is National Park with magnificent peaks, beaches, rainforest, and the world’s southernmost mangroves. A hiking and boating paradise, the promontory and surrounding islands are the exposed portions of a Devonian granite batholith.
🌏 Rare opportunity to join us!

obviously not my field but ppm measurement needs lab. Ice is transported frozen, often in insulated boxes.
Congratulations Jess. The figures look amazing btw!

Air bubbles trapped in glacier ice recently calved off Brewster Glacier in Aotearoa / New Zealand.
We don’t know the age of this ice but I estimate a few centuries - suggesting the bubbles would record pre-industrial CO2 levels.

Happy to live in a liberal democracy where voting has a calm, polite and almost festive vibe, and people respect one another and the system.
Today we were privileged to be visited by Kirrae Wurrung/ Bundjalung Elder Uncle Lionel Lauch, who carried out an Acknowledgment of Country and Smoking Ceremony in the @monashuniversity.bsky.social Earth Science Garden. We are grateful for his generosity to share knowledge so central to our School.
A reminder about this rare opportunity- closing 2nd May!
❄️I am pleased to announce that our new study titled "Post-Little Ice Age Equilibrium-Line Altitude and Temperature Changes in the Greater Caucasus Based on Small Glaciers" has been published in Remote Sensing www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/17...

Congratulations Levan. Having seen these glaciers first hand with you, I am very pleased to be part of this study.
Australia is looking for someone to lead the Antarctic Division's Antarctic Climate program.
Australian residents only, sorry.
