What is the AMOC? It's the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, a system of ocean currents circulating water in the Atlantic Ocean. As it brings warm water north and cold water south, changes to it mean flow-on implications for the wider world. This extended Climate Chat discussion features UNSW Science / ARC Australian Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Science climate research scientist Gabriel M. Pontes and follows the publication of his recent paper with co-author Laurie Menviel in Nature Geoscience. Find out more ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gHkEMpcV

Connecting new knowledge of East Antarctica and the Southern Ocean with governments, industry and academia.
About us
ACEAS is a collaboration between Australian universities, government agencies and international research institutions. We connect new knowledge of East Antarctica and the Southern Ocean within the research community and with governments, industry and academia. The evolution of East Antarctica and the Southern Ocean affects most of the global population. Changes in the area both exacerbate and mitigate the impacts of climate change on physical environments and ecosystems. Industries, infrastructure, housing and lifestyles will all change as the ice sheet increasingly discharges more ice into the Southern Ocean. Ocean acidification will impact the ocean food web and fisheries. The changing sea ice will shift Australia’s weather and climate. The exact changes that will emerge, the timescale over which they will occur, and the impact they will have, remain highly uncertain. Many tipping points in this region are poorly understood—which can potentially lead to unwanted surprises for humanity. The Centre will build a confident understanding of tipping points in the Antarctic region, the timescales over which they could be passed, and the consequences of passing them. The research is planned and conducted with a clear eye on guiding decisions made by domestic and international governments, recommendations made by policy-informing bodies, and preparations made for the impact of climate change by all sectors of society.

“As we’ve managed to collect information from the field, from satellite observations, we’ve seen very dramatic things happen over weeks, days, sometimes hours." - Matt King speaking on Canada-based Radio Ecoshock about #Antarctic tipping points. This deep-dive interview follows the release of a significant new research paper examining a series of potential tipping points and co-authored by Matt King, Delphine Lannuzel and colleagues at AAPP, University of Tasmania, Australian Antarctic Division CSIRO and QUT (Queensland University of Technology).

Significant new funding for critical climate research 🧊 Congratulations to all recipients of the latest round of Australian Research Council (ARC) grants through the Discovery Projects scheme for 2025 - including 11 ACEAS-affiliated researchers. “There’s so much to understand about the Antarctic and there’s more urgency than ever. Together these projects will build on the work of ACEAS to advance our understanding of how quickly ice will flow into the ocean and melt, improving projections of coastal sea levels and rapidly changing ocean circulation.” - Director Matt King https://lnkd.in/gi8vPvVu
