Description

Antarctica is changing - how will this affect Australian climate? . This DECRA project aims to investigate the remote influences of reduced sea ice coverage, increased ice sheet and ice shelf meltwater, and their combined impact, on Australian climate. Using a range of coupled climate model simulations, this project expects to advance our knowledge about sea ice and glacial meltwater processes around the Antarctic margins, and how changes in these processes will impact Australian climate. The expected outcomes directly fill major gaps in Antarctic–Australian climate research and reduce uncertainty in future climate projections. This should provide significant benefit to Australia in developing climate resilience and adapting to global warming.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award.
