Understanding the link between sea ice, ice scour and Antarctic benthic biodiversity; the need for cross station and nation collaboration

The West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is a hotspot of recent, rapid, regional climate change. This has resulted in 0.4°C rise of sea temperature in the last 50 years, five days of sea-ice lost per decade and increased ice-scouring in the shallows. The WAP shallows are ideal for studying biological resp...
