Predicted future changes in the distribution of Antarctic seafloor biodiversity

Created 17/11/2025

Updated 17/11/2025

This project used marine benthic imagery and fine-scale oceanographic data to refine existing models of the contemporary circumpolar distribution of Antarctic benthic biodiversity, and used oceanographic models developed in the ACEAS program to generate spatial predictions of the distribution of various aspects on benthic biodiversity and blue carbon under future climate scenarios. Access to data is currently embargoed, to be made available ~June 2026
