Polar Marine Pollution
from Impact Storytelling Podcast (Ocean and Water Conservation Stories) · host Sabine M. Probst Saavedra
In this episode, I’m joined by Julia Giebichenstein, a PhD candidate at the University of Oslo and a member of the Nansen Legacy project. Her research focuses on the seasonal and interannual variation of legacy and emerging pollutants — including persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and mercury — across the northern Barents Sea pelagic food web. She combines pollutant measurements with dietary tracers, such as stable isotopes, to link pollutant levels with diet and to track how pollutants move from small plankton to top predators like the polar bear.JuliasIG: julia_in_the_arctic.Impact Storytelling Podcast IG: impact. storytelling.podcast
