Climate change can be expected to have complex, long-term consequences for Australia's biodiversity, for our agricultural and marine production systems, and for regional communities. The Southern Ocean is a critical driver of global climate, connecting the three major oceanic basins. Using sophisticated mathematics to analyse state-of-the-art global ocean models, this project will create a detailed picture of hitherto invisible Southern Ocean circulation 'pathways'. The newly discovered pathways will greatly enhance our understanding of the Southern Ocean circulation, lead to improved coupled climate models, and increase our ability to predict future climate change and threats to marine populations.

预计气候变化将对澳大利亚的生物多样性、我们的农业和海洋生产系统以及区域社区产生复杂的长期影响。南大洋是全球气候的关键驱动因素，连接三大​​洋盆地。该项目将利用复杂的数学分析最先进的全球海洋模型，创建迄今为止看不见的南大洋环流“路径”的详细图片。新发现的路径将极大地增强我们对南大洋环流的了解，改进耦合气候模型，并提高我们预测未来气候变化和对海洋种群威胁的能力。
