Event Details

A one-hour lecture to learn about the vibrant marine ecosystems of the Arctic and Antarctic.

Join Amanda Hunter, marine biologist and polar expedition guide, on a captivating journey across the polar oceans in celebration of Earth Day. Dive into the vibrant marine ecosystems of the Arctic and Antarctic, from tiny phytoplankton to majestic seals and whales, while uncovering the vital role of sea ice in Earth's climate. Amanda will also discuss the fascinating physical and chemical properties of polar waters and how they shape marine life. Examine the effects of human activities — from early exploration to the pressing challenges of climate change, pollution and overfishing — to better understand why conserving these remote regions is vital to the health of our planet.
