The Antarctic ice shelves – the floating glaciers surrounding most of the continent – are melting from below as oceanic currents bring warm water into the cavity. But how and how fast is the ice melting? In this Ocean Science Bar, you will learn why Antarctic ice shelves matter, about what happens below them, and about what it’s like to do fieldwork ”down south”.
Light is probably the most varying environmental variable in pelagic ecosystems, and the most ignored in ecological studies. In this Ocean Science Bar, you will learn how light structures the distribution of zooplankton and fish.
