About this position

Scientific background: Remote Southern Ocean waters take up ten percent of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by human activity, effectively slowing down global climate change. Wintertime sea ice cover controls CO2 uptake by Antarctic coastal waters. Recent and ongoing rapid sea ice decline, strong glacial melt and warming raise concerns on how these changes will impact future CO2 uptake by these polar waters. Project objectives: In this PhD project you will address these aims: Extend the unique, year-round marine carbonate chemistry timeseries (2010-2020, https://www.bas.ac.uk/project/rats/ ) i
