Project aim
An oceanographic transect from Tasmania to Antarctica will be completed. The measurements will be compared to earlier observations from the same transect to determine how the climate of the ocean is changing with time. The project is part of a multi-national program during the International Polar Year to complete an interdisciplinary circumpolar survey to investigate the role of the Southern Ocean in the climate system and global biogeochemical cycles.
