The ocean floor and the underlying sediments are the biggest library of our planet’s history. On board of research vessels, we can map and sample this library to better understand how the ocean and its surrounding continents developed through time. In my work, I am mainly interested in how Antarctic ice sheets grew throughout time and how we can predict their future fate.

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.
