Ecosystem Understanding - Weddell Seal Case Study
Antarctica Unfrozen
07/05/21 • 31 min
In this episode Host, Shinae talks to Sarah and Simon about their endeavors on the ice working hands-on with Weddell Seals. Don't miss this unique perspective which demonstrates how understanding one (cute) creature in Antarctica can help to answer critical questions that concern the entire ecosystem!

Marine Food Webs 101
Antarctica Unfrozen
04/15/21 • 62 min
Iconic, charismatic megafauna that call the Southern Ocean home are pretty special! We’re talking about the killer whales, seals and smaller, but still iconic, penguins! But what about their food? Microscopic phytoplankton and krill warrant just as much attention, if not more because they are the foundation of the entire Southern Ocean ecosystem! Today Shinae is joined by Marine Ecologist, Dr. Matt Pinkerton from the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NZ), to have a chat about the Southern Ocean food web, from microscopic organisms to top predators!

Ice 101
Antarctica Unfrozen
03/08/21 • 29 min
Shinae discusses all things ice-related with fascinating insights from two experts and adventurers in their respective fields! Dr. Dan Price (University of Canterbury) and Prof. Pat Langhorne (University of Otago) give clear explanations on a critical aspect of the Antarctic environment - ice. From Sea ice to Ice Sheets and everything in-between!

Remote Sensing - Antarctic Science from Space?
Antarctica Unfrozen
12/22/20 • 44 min
Ever thought about how scientists measure sea ice thickness without a giant drill and metre ruler or how to spy on Antarctic seals from space? Then you’ll particularly love this one because we are joined by two remote sensing specialists, Prof. Wolfgang Rack and Masters Student, Shanelle Dyer!

Science Under the Ice
Antarctica Unfrozen
11/30/20 • 36 min
Have you ever wondered what it must feel like to jump into the near-freezing Antarctica waters through an ice hole and spend the next 30 minutes to an hour surrounded by sea spiders, giant sponges and seals?! Well, tune in for an epic chat with Marine Ecologists, Dr. Drew Lohrer and Dr. Leigh Tait from the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, otherwise known as NIWA.
Drew is a principal scientist at NIWA who has made a massive contribution to the advancement of marine ecology. His main area of research focuses on the organisms that live on the seafloor and their contribution to ecosystem function in estuaries and along coastlines. His work in Antarctica has shown that these communities are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change and ocean acidification as they respond to change more rapidly than initially thought.
Leigh travelled down to the ice in 2019 with Drew for his first Antarctic expedition where he operated a BOXFish ROV, taking our knowledge of the under-ice environment to new depths, literally! Leigh is also a marine ecologist at NIWA, he specialises in ecophysiology ecological structure in the marine environment.
Sit back and tune in as we discuss all things benthic ecology, kinds of communities exist under the ice in Antarctica, how sea ice influences them and how resilient they are to climate-related changes! We also touch on Science Under the Ice, an epic outreach project which takes you on real and virtual research expeditions to Antarctica where scientists like Drew and Leigh explore how climate change will affect the marine biodiversity in Antarctica.

Oceanography 101
Antarctica Unfrozen
08/12/21 • 33 min
Kia ora everyone and welcome back to another episode of Antarctica Unfrozen Season 2! Today’s knowledge-rich guest is Dr. Natalie Robinson of NIWA. Natalie (@PolarGirlNZ on Twitter) is a marine physicist, specialising in polar oceanography, but she’s also an amazing voice for the future generation of environmental scientists with some priceless advice. There is much to digest in this episode and we touch on various subjects throughout, but by the end of it, your understanding of Antarctic (and by default, global) Oceanography and Sea Ice will be much closer to crystal clear... Enjoy!
