Monash Ice Sheet Initiative (MISI)

Glaciology, geochemistry, and modelling. Researching Antarctica's contribution to past, present, and future sea level change. Views our own.

[Andrew Mackintosh ❄️ @AMacGlac]

📢JOB Alert📢. Ice sheet modeller for @saef_arc based in Melbourne, Australia. Interested in Antarctica? Would you like to make a difference? Looking for PhD graduate in glaciology, climate modelling or relevant field. https://t.co/WQopQ92P2I @saef_arc @MonashEAE @FeliMcCormack

[Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future @saef_arc]

SAEF researchers @FeliMcCormack and @selwynox are currently in quarantine ahead of an expedition to discover more about this glacier. They will be collecting rock samples which can help uncover a picture about how the glacier has changed over time. #SAEFGOSOUTH2022

[Monash Ice Sheet Initiative (MISI) @MonashIce]

These bathymetry data will help us piece together how #vanderfordglacier has retreated in the past as part of our #Antarctic fieldwork this season! #SAEFGOSOUTH2022 @selwynox @FeliMcCormack

[Andrew Mackintosh ❄️ @AMacGlac]

Vanderford Glacier in Antarctica is a major focus of ⁦@saef_arc⁩. Our team @FeliMcCormack⁩ @DrJodieSmith⁩, ⁦@selwynox⁩ and myself will use this finding to assess the sea level risk from this giant glacier on our southern doorstep https://t.co/IhqQPNyBui

**Job Announcement** please RT. One of two exciting new post docs as part of @saef_arc. This one is focused on ice sheet modelling - the impact of climate variability and change on East Antarctica with @FeliMcCormack and myself. Come join our team! @MonashIce @MonashEAE

[Monash Ice Sheet Initiative (MISI) @MonashIce]

Incredibly important findings by @AMacGlac and colleagues at @WellingtonUni: the fate of NZ's glaciers to 2100 is determined by our GHG emissions pathway. We have a choice in the future we want to see!

[Andrew Mackintosh ❄️ @AMacGlac]

1/4 What will New Zealand’s glaciers look like by 2100? It is up to us - our greenhouse emission choices determine the outcome. Our new paper led by Brian Anderson @WellingtonUni is here https://t.co/PXVTxWCFzC @RuzicaDadic @alice_doughty @Monash_Science @MonashEAE @MonashIce
