Summary:Under climate change modelling, scientists predict polar waters will absorbgreater concentrations of carbon dioxide than warmer waters, creating moreacidic conditions.Dr Donna Roberts from the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystem Research Centresays a team of scientists is preparing to create those conditions in waters offCasey station, using specially designed underwater chambers."We're going to turn the CO2 up inside it and see what happens to the entirecommunity," said.
