This project aims to investigate the impact of tides on the ocean circulation and future climate change by combining new theory with next-generation numerical ocean models. The expected outcomes include ocean model configurations that will improve estimates of key processes affected by tides, such as Antarctic ice shelf melt rates, ocean warming and the ocean's overturning circulation. The project is thus anticipated to provide significant benefits in predicting future climate change, sea level rise, coastal erosion and marine heatwaves. Furthermore, it will enable the Australian and global communities to better target conservation and mitigation efforts, and thus reduce the environmental, social and economic impact of climate change.

本项目旨在结合新理论和新一代海洋数值模式，研究潮汐对海洋环流和未来气候变化的影响。预期的结果包括海洋模型配置，这将改善对受潮汐影响的关键过程的估计，如南极冰架融化速度、海洋变暖和海洋翻转环流。因此，预计该项目将在预测未来气候变化、海平面上升、海岸侵蚀和海洋热浪方面提供重大好处。此外，它将使澳大利亚和国际社会能够更好地确定保护和缓解努力的目标，从而减少气候变化对环境、社会和经济的影响。
