This project aims to build state-of-the-art mathematical models for movement processes of high conservation-value Antarctic penguins, seals, and whales. This will generate new capacity to predict the likelihood of changes in sea ice and ocean dynamics impacting important forage migration pathways. These outcomes address knowledge gaps highlighted in climate reporting on Polar Regions and will strategically position Australia to create a forward-looking context for conservation management efforts under international treaty commitments.

该项目旨在为具有高保护价值的南极企鹅、海豹和鲸鱼的运动过程建立最先进的数学模型。这将产生新的能力来预测海冰和海洋动态变化影响重要饲料迁移路径的可能性。这些成果解决了极地地区气候报告中强调的知识差距，并将使澳大利亚处于战略地位，为国际条约承诺下的保护管理工作创造一个前瞻性的背景。
