How does the Southern Ocean help protect our planet?

Futurum

Understanding these changes can help researchers make predictions about how the Southern Ocean will change in the future, and how that might affect other regions. If researchers measure some of these ratios in coral skeletons, they can learn about the temperature of the surrounding seawater when the coral grew its skeleton.

What is the fate of dissolved oxygen in our oceans?

Futurum

CLIMATE MODELS — big computer models that use maths, physics and chemistry to characterise how energy and matter (solid, gas or fluid) flow between the hydrosphere (oceans, ice, rivers and lakes), atmosphere and land. This helps the researchers build up a picture of what conditions were like at specific times in the past. CHALLENGES.
