Highlights from Antarctic ocean mechanics research 2022/23
Date: 2023
Type: Update
Authors: Project 2
Summary: A changing Antarctica will impact oceanic transport of heat and other associated materials, such as salt, carbon dioxide, oxygen and nutrients. Researchers in the Antarctic Ocean Mechanics project are investigating past and present ocean conditions - currents, polynya formation, sea ice and dispersion of meltwater - and how this may change as the world warms.

Cold Call: Edition Six
Date: 2023
Type: Cold Call Article
Authors: Antarctic Science Platform
Summary: This Cold Call contains four articles that explore how sea ice interacts with the climate, ocean and ecosystem functions across regional and global scales, and highlights where Antarctic Science Platform research is investigating these issues.
Antarctic sea ice

The connections between sea ice and climate
Date: 2023
Type: Cold Call Article
Authors: James Renwick
Summary: Antarctic sea ice has an annual seasonal cycle of formation and melting, plus it’s exposed to the winds and storms of the Southern Ocean and to a range of climate influences from near and far.

Report shows dramatic Antarctic change with global consequences
Date: 2022
Type: Press Release
Authors: Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research
Summary: Climate change is having significant impacts on Antarctica’s ice sheets, climate and life, with far-reaching global consequences, according to a new report from the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) released on May 24 at the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting in Berlin.
Sea Ice Edge

Changes in the Ross Sea and the future of carbon storage
Date: 2022
Type: Cold Call Article
Authors: Miles Lamare, Vonda Cummings, Ian Hawes and Rowan Howard-Williams
Summary: The Southern Ocean mops up anthropogenic CO2 emissions. But acting as a ‘sink’ for this excess heat and carbon dioxide is having an effect on the ocean and the ecosystems it supports.

The Southern Ocean carbon sink: Will it fill up?
Date: 2022
Type: Cold Call Article
Authors: Jocelyn Turnbull and Rowan Howard-Williams
Summary: A key question for understanding future climate impacts is what drives the uptake of carbon into sinks, and how that might change. The Southern Ocean absorbs by far the most carbon dioxide of any region of the world.
