How 14 Elephant Seals Assisted an Antarctic Ice Study – The New York Times
Mapping currents in the Southern Ocean is vital to monitoring climate change, but hard to conduct. So scientists turned to seals for help.
Then the two researchers realized that the seals had been going under the sea ice for years and years and years, Dr. Swart said. And because they do that, they were collecting the right kind of observations for us to look at the upper ocean under sea ice. The open-access seal data sets could potentially illustrate what kind of submesoscale flows occur under the ice, and whether they occur at all.
