Climate Connections at the Ice-Sea Interface

The science team will examine seafloor features carved by glaciers over time and study the intricate ecosystems living at the interface between ice and sea. Using these high-resolution maps along with ROV SuBastian, they will advance research on past ice-sheet dynamics, its impact on the Earth’s climate, and Antarctica’s biodiversity. This research will provide critical insights into the stability of the Antarctic ice sheet, affiliated deep-sea ecosystems, and how these systems will be impacted by climate change.
