Oceans1

We landed a camera on Venus before seeing parts of our own oceans – it’s time to ramp up observations closer to home
Date: 2023
Authors: Craig Stevens and Natalie Robinson
Summary: If we want to better understand the climate-regulating role of Earth’s oceans, we must increase the effort we put into observing them, with a focus on our planet’s largest heat sink, the Southern Ocean.

Sea ice scientists call for urgent emissions reductions to keep our climate liveable
Date: 2023
Type: Update
Summary: Antarctic scientists concerned about dramatic sea ice retreat have today issued the following statement from the emergency summit in Wellington. They have called for urgent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions to keep the climate within liveable conditions.
Ice sheet/shelves

New reconstructions of past ice sheet dynamics
Date: 2023
Type: Science
Authors: Antarctic Science Platform
Summary: Five new reconstructions of past Antarctic ice sheet dynamics have recently been published, relying on sedimentological and geochemical analyses.
Sea ice in the Ross Sea

As Antarctic sea ice continues its dramatic decline, we need more measurements and much better models to predict its future
Date: 2023
Authors: Inga Smith, Andrew Pauling, Greg Leonard, Maren Richter, Max Thomas, Pat Langhorne and Wolfgang Rack
Summary: After two seasons of record-breaking lows, Antarctica’s sea ice remains in dramatic decline, tracking well below any winter maximum levels observed since satellite monitoring began during the late 1970s.

SWAIS2C: A search for answers about ice sheet collapse
Date: 2023
Type: Update
Authors: Prof Richard Levy and Ceridwyn Roberts
Summary: The drilling project will be the first-ever attempt to obtain a long sedimentary record from well-below the seafloor in West Antarctica. This is ‘discovery science’ - there remains great uncertainty around the age and nature of what will be recovered.
