A Changing Antarctica: Studies from the Field

The New England Aquarium’s Visitor Education Manager Johanna Blasi worked with a team from Rutgers University recently aboard a research vessel to study the delicate balance of ecosystems with organisms that rely on each other for survival using cutting edge technology.

In Antarctica, microbes help transform nutrients, phytoplankton feed krill and krill feed penguins and whales.

With temperatures rising rapidly there, the interactions are changing so they looked at how the dynamics might determine the future of this icy continent.
