Fellowship Project Summary

FL250100087 – The expedited discovery of subsurface Antarctica

Professor Reading aims to advance understanding of Antarctica’s subsurface, which plays a critical role in how ice sheets respond to climate change. This project will use computational and seismic methods to uncover hidden landscapes, geothermal heat, and subglacial water systems. The research will improve predictions of ice sheet behaviour and sea-level rise, supporting environmental risk mitigation. It will also enhance Australia’s capacity for Antarctic stewardship and train researchers in geophysical and geotechnical sciences.

Australian Research Council Funding: $3,760,000
