Crc Tier 2 Chair In Physical Oceanography

极地海洋在减缓气候变化方面发挥着至关重要的作用。然而，关于这些地区将如何应对气候变化的根本问题仍然存在。解决这些问题是提高我们预测气候变化和为社会制定适当适应战略的能力的关键。我提议领导一个雄心勃勃的研究计划，这将促进我们对极地海洋环流，碳循环和冰冻圈的理解。除了加深我们对极地海洋在气候系统中的作用的了解外，拟议的研究将为开发下一代海洋模型和观测网络提供重要指导。

Polar oceans play a crucial role in mitigating climate change. However, fundamental questions remain on how these regions will respond to climate change. Answering these questions is key to improve our ability to project climate change and to prepare suitable adaptation strategies for society. I propose to lead an ambitious research program that will advance our understanding of polar ocean circulation, carbon cycle and cryosphere. Beyond deepening our knowledge of the role of polar oceans in the climate system, the proposed research will provide important guidance for the development of the next generation of ocean models and observational networks.
