From ๐ง to ๐ป toโท๏ธ new research has identified what people #value in #AntarcticPeninsula
The research is essential foundational work to ensure that future #conservation policy reflects the needs of all the region's stakeholders.

All Andrea Johansen needs to complete her #PhD is a little faith, trust, and #palaeodust .
She recently travelled to #ChathamIsland to collect peat cores - useful archives of dust.

If you are working on #Antarctic and/or #SouthernOcean #biodiversity then you should consider submitting to our symposium:
From Antarctica and Southern Ocean to Australia: Current Ecological Research and Conservation Challenges
Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future
This is a fantastic summary thread ๐งต of new research to identify features of value in the Antarctic Peninsula region related to #biodiversity , #science , and #tourism .๐

I was delighted to successfully start sample processing at Monash Rock Crushing Laboratory today. In a later step, we will use cosmogenic nuclide dating to better understand the history of East Antarctic glaciers (and not only)โ๏ธโ๏ธMonash Earth, Atmosphere and Environment ๐๐ช๏ธ๐ Monash Science Monash Ice Sheet Initiative (MISI) Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future
If you work in climate science you've probably experienced climate anxiety and/or eco-grief at some point.
Our former colleague Georgia Watson is part of a team working to understand the impacts of these emotions on STEMM professionals.

The ๐ Southern Ocean is renowned for having the cleanest air on๐
But until now scientists haven't understood why๐ค
New research in npj Journals shows how clouds & rain play a crucial role in 'scrubbing' the air clean.

Some snaps from SAEF researchers attending #ScienceMeetsParliament last week.
Karina Meredith, Charlotte Patterson, Kate Helmstedt & Dr Felicity McCormack were all there engaging with policymakers to highlight Antarctic science and its relevance to Australia's national interests.๐ฆ๐บ ๐ฆ๐ถ
After 6 weeks at sea, SAEF researcher Dr Dr Mardi McNeil (she/her) from Geoscience Australia reports the team has been very busy. ๐ข
They have successfully collected sediment cores and high-res seabed maps near the Vanderford Glacier to help reconstruct past ice sheet movement.
See some photos๐
Australian & New Zealand Antarctic leaders met at the SAEF office this week to discuss joint research priorities and develop new collaborations to protect #Antarctica and the #SouthernOcean โs future.
Terrific to have a new shared approach to meeting the challenges ahead.๐
