新西兰的研究目标是对河口热浪进行预测,以拯救贝类和鸟类。 New Zealand study targets heat wave prediction in estuaries to save shellfish, birds.

一个由100万美元资助的奥克兰大学研究项目旨在了解和预测新西兰河口突发的热浪,这种热浪可能造成大量贝类死亡和有毒藻类繁殖。 A University of Auckland research project, funded with $1 million, aims to understand and predict sudden heat waves in New Zealand's estuaries, which can cause massive die-offs of shellfish and toxic algal blooms. 该研究由卡琳·布赖恩教授牵头,将研究潮汐潮流和影响河口温度的大气条件等因素。 Led by Professor Karin Bryan, the study will examine factors like tidal currents and atmospheric conditions affecting estuary temperatures. 新西兰约有350个河口作为海洋生物和海鸟的重要栖息地,调查结果有助于评估气温上升对食物链和支助物种生存的影响。 With around 350 estuaries in New Zealand serving as vital habitats for marine life and shorebirds, the findings could help assess the impact of rising temperatures on food chains and support species survival.
