Krill in Antarctic Food Webs Phytoplankton

Krill Swarms Phytoplankton

Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) The WAP is the location where the ACC is closest to the continent

Using the WAP as zone to study how rapid warming can alter food webs Fastest winter warming location on Earth Increase in ocean heat content Martinson et al Q slope (x10 9 J m -2 ) °C Increase of 6°C in the past 50 years 50-year changes in winter air temperature Heat content (x10 9 J m -2 ) Seawater heat content
