PRESSURISED: 058 - Antarctic ice-seabed interactions

from The Deep-Sea Podcast Hosted by Thomas Linley

Welcome to the PRESSURISED version of episode 58, just the science, none of the waffle We are still talking about Antarctica, the continent that keeps on giving! For this month's interview, we speak with Devin Harrison - Marine Geoscientist/Postdoctoral Researcher at Kelpie Geoscience - Devin is a postdoctoral research fellow at Kelpie Geoscience. His research utilises high-resolution topographic models of the seafloor and complementary geophysical and geospatial datasets to understand the geomorphic evolution and process landform relationship of the deep sea and the continental shelves. Devin is particularly interested in the glacial geomorphological record and the evolution of glacial environments from the last glacial maximum (~20-25 thousand years ago) to the present day. We’re really trying to make this project self-sustaining, so we have started looking for ways to support the podcast. Here’s a link to our page on how to support us, from the free options to becoming a patron of the show. We want to say a huge thank you to those patrons who have already pledged to support us: Elena Thanks again for tuning in; we’ll deep-see you next time! Check out our podcast merch here! Feel free to get in touch with us with questions or your own tales from the high seas on: [email protected] We’d love to actually play your voice so feel free to record a short audio note!

Does ice impact the deep seabed? We discuss the ways that Antarctic glaciation affects the deep-sea habitat around Antarctica.
