  • 14. Biodiversity, Food Webs, and Climate Resilience in Antarctica with Dr. Jose Xavier
    2024/11/12

    In this episode, we sink our teeth into the Antarctic food web with marine ecologist Dr. Jose Xavier. Dr. Xavier, an expert in predator-prey interactions in the Southern Ocean, shares his insights on the complex relationships between species like penguins, squid, and krill. The conversation explores how biodiversity supports ecosystem resilience and how climate change threatens these delicate food webs. Dr. Xavier also discusses his research on squid beaks, the impact of climate change on top predators, and how marine protected areas can help safeguard the region. Tune in for a fascinating look at the Antarctic ecosystem, how it's changing, and what can be done to protect it.

  • 13. Exploring Antarctica's Wildlife from Space with Dr. Michelle LaRue
    2024/11/05

    In this episode of South Pole, we explore the use of satellite imagery to track Weddell seals and Emperor penguins in Antarctica. Dr. Michelle LaRue, a leading researcher in the field, explains how high-resolution imagery from space provides crucial insights into these marine predators' populations, habitats, and behaviors. We dive into the challenges of studying wildlife remotely, the surprises in population estimates, and the innovative Satellites Over Seals (SOS) project. Tune in to discover how this technology is shaping our understanding of Antarctic ecosystems and its potential for future research and conservation efforts.

  • 12. Ice Sheet Loss and Sea Level Rise with Dr. Heiko Goelzer
    2024/10/29

    In this episode of South Pole, we learn about sea level rise with Dr. Heiko Goelzer, an expert in ice sheet modeling at the Norwegian Research Center, to explore the dynamics of Antarctica's ice sheets and their contribution to rising sea levels. The conversation delves into the differences between ice sheets, ice shelves, sea ice, and icebergs, while addressing the potential 57-meter sea-level rise if all Antarctic ice melted. Dr. Goelzer explains the complex climate tipping points related to ice sheets and the future scenarios of climate change. The episode offers insights into the latest research on ice loss and how it might affect global coastlines, while emphasizing the urgency of addressing climate change.
