Most people picture Antarctica as this frozen, still place at the bottom of the world. But it’s actually one of the most dynamic, restless environments on Earth. It has a literal pulse: a rhythm of growing and shrinking sea ice that keeps our entire global climate stable. But lately, that pulse has started to skip a beat. Antarctic sea ice is suddenly and drastically declining, and my research aims to find out why.

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.
