Basal mass balance and prevalence of ice tongues in the Western ross sea
Authors: R.Gomez-Fell, O.Marsh, W.Rack, C.Wild, H.Purdie
Year Published: 2023
Document Type:
Papers
Ownership: Frontiers in Earth Science
Summary: Calculating the basal mass change of twelve Antarctic ice tongues using a flux gate approach, deriving thickness from ICESat-2 height measurements and ice surface velocities from Sentinel-1 feature-tracking over the same period.
Ocean turbulent boundary-layer influence on ice crystal behaviour beneath fast ice in an Antarctic ice shelf water plume: The “dirty ice”
Authors: C.Stevens, N.Robinson, G.O'Connor, B.Grant
Year Published: 2023
Document Type:
Papers
Ownership: Frontiers in Marine Science
Summary: Observations of ocean boundary-layer processes and ice crystal behaviour in an Ice Shelf Water outflow region from the Ross/McMurdo Ice Shelves.
Crevasse refreezing and signatures of retreat observed at Kamb Ice Stream grounding zone
Authors: J.Lawrence, P.Washam, C.Stevens, C.Hulbe, H.Horgan, G.Dunbar et al.
Year Published: 2023
Document Type:
Papers
Ownership: Nature Geoscience
Summary: In situ observations from an underwater vehicle deployed at Kamb that show how fine-scale variability in ice and ocean structure combine to influence a diversity of ice–ocean interactions.
Antarctic Sea Ice #1: Physical role and function
Authors: Kyle Clem, Rob Massom, Sharon Stammerjohn and Phillip Reid
Year Published: 2022
Document Type:
Reports
Ownership: Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research
Summary: Sea ice – comprising frozen seawater in the form of both moving pack ice and stationary coastal landfast ice (fast ice) – is of major climatic, ecological and societal importance. This summary on SCAR's Environments Portal is based on the best available science.
Scientists chart 45 million years of Antarctic temperature change
Authors: Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, GNS Science, and Birmingham University (UK)
Year Published: 2022
Document Type:
Papers
Summary: New study shows 'very clear and direct response' of Antarctic temperatures to changing carbon dioxide levels. Molecular fossils and computer modelling have enabled scientists to build the first catalogue of Antarctic ocean temperatures over the past 45 million years, offering new insights into future sea level changes.

Authors: Antarctic Science Platform
Year Published: 2022
Document Type:
Case Studies
Summary: The long-term perspective of the Antarctic Science Platform has afforded research partners the certainty to invest in new equipment.
Case Study: International cooperation and ocean monitoring in the Ross Sea
Authors: Antarctic Science Platform
Year Published: 2022
Document Type:
Case Studies, Science, Fieldwork
Summary: The Antarctic Science Platform is collaborating across New Zealand and with other nations to share and deploy resources into Antarctica and the Southern Ocean.
