"This is whale earwax... it's like tree rings, it's carrying evidence from all the years of its life."
Professor Helen Czerski is passionate about physics and the ocean. From using the earwax of giant sea creatures to measure stress levels to debunking the myth that we know more about the Moon than the deep ocean, Helen delights in sharing the ocean's extraordinary power and the science behind it.
Join us as we sit down with Helen, author of Blue Machine, to discuss the wonder and mysteries of our vast oceans. From the ancient Polynesians who navigated the Pacific by reading the waves to permanent residents of the deep such as the Greenland shark that can live for hundreds of years.
We'll discuss currents, invisible ocean walls, underwater waterfalls and what it truly means to survive and thrive on an ocean planet.
