Calls for more scientific work in the Southern Ocean
'Urgent' need to boost monitoring in Southern Ocean
Andrew Meijers talks with The Canberra Times at the SOOS Symposium 2023 in Hobart emphasising the lack of data about the Southern Ocean and why this matters.
Southern Ocean monitoring needed to predict climate change
This podcast features UK Grant Coordinator, Andrew Meijers discussing the lack of monitoring in the Southern Ocean and how this leads to us unable to fully understand and predict climate change, including the alarming loss of sea ice in Antarctica this year.

Is the climate crisis finally catching up with Antarctica? Finding the answer has never been more pressing
Andrew Meijers discusses the significant role of the Antarctic and Southern Ocean in the global climate in the context of climate change and historic lows of Antarctic sea ice. Projections of Antarctic melt’s contributions to sea level rise are still riddled with uncertainty. Andrew puts forth the need to increase our confidence and certainty in these projections through improving our understanding of ice and ocean processes and incorporating these into new and better models which the OCEAN:ICE project sets out to do.
