Large-Scale Processes and Sea-Ice-Atmosphere Interactions
How does the global climate change affect the long term trends and seasonal variability of oceanographic and atmospheric circulation patterns?
Which are the polar oceans sources and sinks of CO2 and other gases?
How stable are ice shelves, glaciers and ice caps and which is their influence on sea level rise? How do changes in polar ice reflect the real time climate change?
Which are the changes in dense water formation and which are their climatic consequences?
Which is the impact of changes in polar ocean circulation and biogeochemistry?
