| Research Experience: | Impact of Climate Change on Antarctic Shelf Ecosystems (R/V NATHANIEL B. PALMER) |
| Research Objectives: | To explore the potential impacts of climate change (e.g. reduction in sea-ice duration) on Antarctic shelf ecosystems in three-year study of benthic-pelagic coupling designed to evaluate a broad range of benthic ecological and biogeochemical processes along a latitudinal climate gradient on the Antarctic Peninsula. This Austral winter cruise will investigate winter regimes along a 5-station transect from Smith Island to Marguerite Bay. |
