How does the Southern Ocean help protect our planet?

Futurum

Changes in ocean dynamics have direct implications for carbon uptake and storage, which in turn influences the chemistry and productivity of ocean waters and, consequently, the entire climate system. You should have a basic understanding of these disciplines so that you can communicate with other researchers and share ideas.
