Public Project
The main aim of the Carbon Uptake and Seasonal Traits in the Antarctic Remineralisation Depth (CUSTARD) project is to quantify the seasonal drivers of carbon fluxes in a region of the Southern Ocean upper limb, and estimate how long different quantities of carbon are kept out of the atmosphere based on the water flow routes at the observed remineralisation depths.
All the observational data from the project will be collected at and south of the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) Global Southern Ocean Array, located south-west of Chile.
