CEAMARC: Collaborative East Antarctic Marine Census, 2007-08

A 2007-08 collaborative survey of marine life and habitats in East Antarctica adjacent to Terre Adelie and George V Land. The Collaborative East Antarctic Marine Census (CEAMARC) was part of Australia's International Polar Year contribution, aiming to understand evolutionary processes and predict responses to climate change. Data was collated and analyzed by scientists from Australia, Japan, and France, with findings intended for publication in a 2010 special journal volume.

Use Cases

• Modeling species distribution based on surveyed marine life and habitats.
• Analyzing biodiversity patterns to understand evolutionary survival processes.
• Predicting organism responses to future climate-related environmental changes.

Strengths

• Data from a defined international scientific expedition in 2007-08.
• Focus on a specific geographic region in East Antarctica.
• Results were intended for peer-reviewed publication in a 2010 special volume.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to the specific survey.
