Scientists to conduct research on phytoplankton in Antarctica - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

Departing from Cape Town aboard the Agulhas 2, the scientists will, for the first time, be able to collect and study samples of the Southern Ocean in winter.

Scientists will test how phytoplankton reacts to trace metal. Just like humans need minerals such as iron for growth, so too does phytoplankton for its development. “We do not have data for the winter season and we need close that gap of knowledge and we need to know what is happening during the melting season. Get this data; get these samples; get ice samples; know the concentrations in the ice and then go back in the melting season in order to see what is the influence of all this ice, that has melted on the biogeochemistry on this phytoplankton.”

The Southern Ocean is the largest absorber of carbon dioxide and what happens there impacts all life on earth.
