Biogeochemistry of the Ross Sea

The next hundred years will see profound changes in the Ross Sea and Southern Ocean, which will be magnified in subsequent centuries. The role of Antarctic seas in regulating global climate through biogeochemical cycling is likely to change as well, with feedbacks partially determining our greenhous...
