Abbie Smith

I am a Fisheries Acoustics scientist with the Australian Antarctic Division. I work with echosounder data from the Krill Observational Mooring for Benthic Investigations (KOMBI) platforms, which monitor deep-sea krill all year round. My work focuses on the role krill play in Southern Ocean nutrient and carbon cycles to support carbon sequestration to the deep ocean.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM

Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.

For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
