Antarctic Tech - Boxfish Research

Jonny Harrison - Winter Is Coming...
Antarctica Unfrozen
03/23/19 • 17 min
Jonny has a rather incredible 'job', he is the Winter Leader at Scott Base. We caught up and had a chat about what a Winter in Antarctica entails and how the team keeps grounded and stimulated through what I can consider, pretty much an out of this world experience!
Winter in the Antarctic may not be so dark at all...
Thank you Jonny for the incredible Antarctic Aurora photographs and time-lapses.

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.

Bruce Stevenson - Sh*t Happens
Antarctica Unfrozen
03/23/19 • 12 min
Bruce is the kind of guy where the only place I can imagine meeting him is in fact at the bottom of the world in Antarctica. Bruce is the Water Engineer at Scott Base and while that may sound like quite a standard job description, he’s absolutely integral to ensuring the bases critical hydro systems stay running through both the Summer and Winter seasons! Was a pleasure talking sh*t with you Bruce, both literally and figuratively!
Oh, Bruce also happens to be the only Base resident that jams the bag pipes in his spare time! You always need someone who can play the pipes around right?

Dr Daniel Price - Man On A Mission
Antarctica Unfrozen
03/23/19 • 32 min
Danny Price is a man of many talents. He's a climate researcher, Antarctic traverse expert, passionate climate campaigner, Edmund Hillary Fellow, he’s also the co-founder of Offcut Caps but mostly importantly just a really nice guy! Enjoy this fascinating episode, you may just be shocked, surprised and you may just be inspired.

Dr Andrew J. Wright - Marine DJ
Antarctica Unfrozen
03/23/19 • 15 min
Andrew's excitement and passion shines through his voice, if anything this guy is just a rare kind of producer. So really it’s no wonder he’s found himself recording wildlife audio to see what secrets it holds! Lucky for us a podcast is also completely based on audio (ha how good) and now it’s his turn to reveal some of the secrets of his epic work.

The lovely Killer Whale Audio, mid podcast, was recorded under permit by K070 and Regina Eisert, thank you! Also thank you to Regina for this photograph of Andrew in the field.

Dr Rochelle Constantine - Ocean Wonder Woman
Antarctica Unfrozen
03/23/19 • 43 min
An accomplished biologist, an inspirational lecturer, and a relentless champion for the marine environment. Rochelle is based out of the University of Auckland’s School of Biological Sciences and Institute of Marine Science. I really didn’t have to much of an idea on where my conversation with Rochelle would go! I was pleasantly surprised when we found ourselves chatting about subjects like humpback whale migrations, we also found out that Antarctica holds a what I consider one huge Summer food festival for ocean enjoying animals every year and some of Rochelle's precious moments with nature during her career. We need more people like Rochelle in this world. Enjoy!
Thank you Paul Ensor of this gorgeous photo of Rochelle on the Antarctic Whale Expedition.

Dr Michelle LaRue - Emperor Lifestyles
Antarctica Unfrozen
03/23/19 • 23 min
Michelle is a rather incredible scientist for many reasons. Why? Well, one of them is because she conducts much of her work partially from space... This episode is dedicated just about entirely to arguably the most famous Antarcticans, the Emperor Penguin. She is also a great communicator of science and is all for having a yarn about it! Thank you, Michelle, for your time.

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!
