Autonomous platforms and biotagging data: new approaches for understanding variability and change across the Antarctic ocean/sea-ice climate system

该项目旨在提高我们评估和监测整个南极海洋/海冰系统气候变化的能力。海洋/海冰的相互作用在全球气候中起着关键作用，迫切需要确定这些相互作用如何应对气候变化。该项目将克服现有观测数据集的差距，这些差距目前限制了我们对南极洲周围海洋时空变异和变化的理解。这项研究将使用两种新方法，生物标记和自主平台，以大大提高我们模拟和预测气候变化对南极海洋/海冰系统及其他地区影响的能力。

This project aims to advance our ability to assess and monitor climate change across the Antarctic ocean/sea-ice system. Ocean/sea-ice interactions have a critical role in the global climate and there is an urgent need to determine how these are responding to climate change. This project will overcome gaps in existing observational datasets that currently limit our understanding of spatiotemporal variability and change in ocean around Antarctica. This study will use two new approaches, biotagging and autonomous platforms, to greatly improve our capacity to model and predict the impacts of climate change on the Antarctic ocean/sea ice system and beyond.
