The Antarctic Canyon Experiment (ACE) aims to study turbidity currents in Antarctica and their role in transporting organic carbon. By measuring these underwater flows, the project seeks to improve our understanding of their impact on climate change and carbon cycling in the ocean.
Turbidity currents, akin to underwater avalanches, are rapid, destructive, sediment-rich bodies of water that flow down-slope.
They destroy seafloor infrastructure and transport and store organic carbon (OC), impacting climate over long (>1,000 yr) timescales.
Global climate is controlled by atmospheric carbon dioxide, so understanding the processes influencing OC transfer and burial between Earth’s major stores is crucial to predict and mitigate against future climate change.
