CEAMARC: Collaborative East Antarctic Marine Census, 2007-08

The Collaborative East Antarctic Marine Census (CEAMARC) surveyed marine life and habitats near Terre Adelie and George V Land in East Antarctica during 2007-08. Scientists from Australia, Japan, and France collected data to understand the evolution and survival of organisms and predict responses to climate change. The findings were intended for publication in a special journal volume in late 2010.

Use Cases

• Modeling species distribution based on habitat survey data mentioned in the description
• Analyzing biodiversity patterns in East Antarctic waters based on the marine census
• Studying the impact of climate-related changes on polar marine organisms based on the project's stated aim

Strengths

• Data collected by an international scientific collaboration from Australia, Japan, and France
• Survey conducted during a defined period (2007-08) as part of the International Polar Year
• Focused on a specific geographic region (adjacent to Terre Adelie and George V Land)

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data is from a 2007-08 survey; freshness should be verified for contemporary applications
