Podcast Episode #10

Maggie is a marine biologist and ecologist with more than 30 years of experience doing research in Antarctica. Her work on krill and the chemical interactions of near shore organisms has prompted an island, Amsler Island, to be named in her honor. Hear how Maggie has seen the effects of human-induced climate change in her own lifetime by simply visiting Antarctica over the years.

Read about Maggie’s Antarctic adventures on UAB in Antarctica, and see her in my short film Antarctic SeaScience Expedition.
