Abstract
Antarctica plays a critical role in global change because major interactions in this region between the atmosphere, ice, oceans, and biota affect the entire global system through feedbacks, dynamic biogeochemical cycles, deep ocean circulation, atmospheric transport of energy and pollutants, and changes in mass balance. Antarctica is also sensitive to global change and is a key area for detecting and monitoring environmental change. The parameters to be monitored in Antarctica, the deficiencies in the present measurements, and future methods and techniques were listed by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) as part of an overall global change research strategy for Antarctica and are summarized in this paper.
