Antarctica Strategic Science Mission
FY 2024-25 · 2024-12-23
Summary
This project aims to investigate key aspects of sea level rise, ice sheet melting, and global ocean circulation by identifying dense water masses and examining coastal-offshore interactions. Research activities will leverage state-of-the-art technologies, including a containerized CTD-Rosette system, a dedicated chemistry lab, and an autonomous surface vehicle for bottom mapping near glacier fronts.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à étudier des aspects clés de l’élévation du niveau de la mer, de la fonte de la nappe glaciaire et de la circulation océanique mondiale grâce au recensement des masses d’eau denses et à l’examen des interactions côtières et extracôtières. Les activités de recherche s’appuieront sur des technologies de pointe, notamment un système CTD/Rosette conteneurisé, un laboratoire de chimie et un véhicule de surface autonome de surface pour la cartographie du fond marin près des fronts glaciaires.
