Description
Summary:The main objective of the Tara Antarctic leg was two-fold: to sample across well-established physical and biogeochemical gradients to conduct a multi-day process study around an iceberg Both are concerned with capturing the response of the microbiome to variability in the seascape introduced by topography, frontal systems and freshwater (both melting sea ice, glaciers and icebergs). These scientific objectives are motivated by the urgent need to understand how the microbiome of the Antarctic seas will respond to climate change, as well as to generate baseline understanding in this under-sampled region.
