Scientific Research in Antarctica - Clipreel
Scientists Kirsten Thompson and Nacim Guellati collect water samples and explain eDNA sampling in the waters around Elephant Island.
eDNA monitoring uses filters to trap free-floating DNA that has been left behind by animals. In the laboratory, the DNA can help identify marine biodiversity, specifically whales, seals, birds and fish. The research will contribute to a better understanding of Antarctic waters, a marine ecosystem that is rapidly being altered by climate change.
Greenpeace is back in the Antarctic on the last stage of the Protect the Oceans Expedition, a year long pole to pole tour. We have teamed up with a group of scientists to investigate and document the impacts the climate crisis is already having in this area.
See transcript for more details.
