Abstract
Under climate change modelling, scientists predict polar waters will absorb
greater concentrations of carbon dioxide than warmer waters, creating more
acidic conditions.
Dr Donna Roberts from the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystem Research Centre
says a team of scientists is preparing to create those conditions in waters off
Casey station, using specially designed underwater chambers.
"We're going to turn the CO2 up inside it and see what happens to the entire
community," said.
