S4 Ep7: Carbon cycling, biogeochemistry, and cruising on RRS Sir David Attenborough - with Emily Rowlands, Laura Taylor & Kat Turner

Ever wondered what it’s like to do science on a ship travelling through Antarctica's Southern Ocean? In this episode, host Nadia Frontier is joined by early-career scientists Emily Rowlands, Laura Taylor, and Kat Turner, who are gearing up for the next BIOPOLE scientific mission on the RRS Sir David Attenborough. From getting used to life on board, to being put in charge of managing important ocean sampling, they chat about the excitement and challenges of working on polar science at sea.
Together, Emily, Laura and Kat explain the significance of the BIOPOLE project - and the connections between Antarctica's ecosystems, nutrients, ice, and the major role that the ocean plays in absorbing carbon from Earth's atmosphere. Plus, Kat shares her experiences capturing sounds of the Antarctic for The Seventh Continent, a unique music project that brings an epic journey life.
The Seventh Continent (the latest album from the Sounds of Space Project) is available on all major streaming platforms, and for free on Bandcamp: https://soundsofspaceproject.bandcamp.com/album/the-seventh-continent
