Project aim

A planned multidisciplinary survey of the processes linking sea ice with biological elements of Antarctic marine ecosystems will be conducted in winter 2007. The survey will provide large-scale information on sea ice biological and physical parameters in the 100-130 degree East sector off East Antarctica. The distribution of sea ice algae and krill will be measured using autonomous underwater vehicles operating under the sea ice. These measurements will be complemented by shipborne measurements and an intensive sea ice sampling program.
