The Centre will revolutionise predictions of the future of East Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. Changes in the Antarctic will be profoundly costly to Australia, including sea-level and fisheries impacts; but the speed and scale of future change remains poorly understood. A new national-scale and interdisciplinary Centre is required to understand the complex interactions of the ocean, ice sheets, atmosphere and ecosystems that will govern Antarctica’s future. The Centre will combine new field data with innovative models to address Australia’s Antarctic science priorities, train graduate students, develop leaders, engage the public, and enable major economic benefit as Australia adapts to climate change in the coming years and beyond.

该中心将彻底改变对东南极洲和南大洋未来的预测。南极洲的变化将给澳大利亚带来巨大的代价，包括海平面和渔业的影响;但对未来变化的速度和规模仍然知之甚少。需要建立一个新的国家级跨学科中心，以了解海洋、冰盖、大气和生态系统之间复杂的相互作用，这些相互作用将决定南极洲的未来。该中心将把联合收割机新的实地数据与创新模型相结合，以解决澳大利亚的南极科学优先事项，培训研究生，培养领导者，吸引公众，并在澳大利亚适应气候变化的过程中实现重大经济效益。
