Learn about the latest Antarctic research with scientists Damon Stanwell-Smith and Freya Alldred
In this episode of Behind the Science, polar researcher Damon Stanwell-Smith shares an update from the Viking Octantis in Antarctica and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the science taking place on board our expedition vessels. Then, enjoy an in-depth conversation with Freya Alldred, a seaweed biologist whose work explores how marine macroalgae record environmental change in polar regions. From collecting giant seaweeds in remote southern waters to processing samples in the onboard laboratory, Freya reveals how these living organisms help scientists understand nutrient cycles, human impact and the changing health of fragile ecosystems.
