HydroBox: A containerised hydrochemistry lab for Australian oceanography

该项目旨在提供一个便携式的海上实验室，用于分析海洋盐度、溶解氧和溶解营养物质，达到较高的分析标准。预期结果包括：在澳大利亚周围水域，特别是南极洲和南大洋周围水域，准确测量这些基本海洋变量的能力大大提高，国际合作的新机会，以及改进对澳大利亚学生的海洋航行海洋学培训。重大好处包括能够检测气候变化对物理、化学和生物海洋过程的早期影响，以及巩固澳大利亚在水化学领域的世界领先地位。

This project aims to deliver a portable, sea-going laboratory for the analysis of ocean salinity, dissolved oxygen and dissolved nutrients to high analytical standards. The expected outcomes include a vast increase in the capacity to accurately measure these Essential Ocean Variables in the waters around Australia, in particular around Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, new opportunities for international collaboration and improved training of Australian students in sea-going oceanography. Significant benefits include the ability to detect early impacts of climate change on physical, chemical and biological ocean processes, and solidification of Australia’s world leading status in the field of hydrochemistry.
