Eleanor Honan has kindly agreed to talk to us about her Antarctic research on Tuesday Feb 17th at 7pm via zoom.
In this talk, Ellie will discuss why and how we study polar seabirds and how their vomit (!) can be used as an archive to reveal past changes in sea-ice dynamics, as well as sharing what life is like on an Antarctic research base.
Ellie is a polar marine ecologist, working on one of Antarctica's most enigmatic seabirds, the snow petrel. She is a lecturer in marine biology and ecology at the University of Liverpool and is preparing to submit her PhD with the British Antarctic Survey and Durham University. She has lived and worked on research vessels and on the ice in Antarctica, the Norwegian Arctic and Southeast Alaska, and is the lead training officer for the UK Polar Network, where her focus is on increasing accessibility to polar fieldwork.
Margaret Farrell will provide zoom Link closer to the time.
