Deep ocean thermodynamics and climate change

该项目旨在获得对含水混合物的热力学和输运特性的新见解，特别是在高压下，这直接影响到我们对气候变化过程的理解。该项目将涉及使用水的极化电位，该电位最近已被证明可以产生高精度的预测。它将被用于模拟含二氧化碳的盐水混合物，从而获得有关世界海洋热力学性质的宝贵数据。这些数据对于准确预测气候变化至关重要，因此该项目将对了解我们不断变化的环境产生重要影响。

This project aims to obtain new insights into the thermodynamic and transport properties of mixtures containing water, particularly at high pressures, that impact directly on our understanding of climate change processes. The project will involve the use of a polarisable potential for water which has recently been demonstrated to yield predictions of high accuracy. It will be used to model saline water mixtures containing carbon dioxide, resulting in valuable data for thermodynamic properties of the world's oceans. These data are of crucial importance for accurate climate change predictions and as such the project will have an important impact on understanding our changing environment.
