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.

预计气候变化会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地区社区产生复杂的长期后果。南大洋是全球气候的关键驱动力，连接了三个主要的海洋盆地。该项目使用复杂的数学来分析最先进的全球海洋模型，将创建迄今无形的南大洋循环“途径”的详细图片。新发现的途径将大大增强我们对南洋循环的理解，从而改善耦合的气候模型，并提高我们预测未来气候变化和对海洋人群威胁的能力。
