Sailing for Science in the Polar Seas
Manage episode 482352461 series 3380224
In this episode, we explore how small, low-impact research platforms are changing the way science is conducted in the polar regions. As research activity in the Arctic grows, so does the need to reduce its environmental footprint—while increasing the value it brings to both the natural world and the communities who call it home.
We’ll hear why collaboration between scientists and infrastructure experts is essential, and how smart design, efficient logistics, and shared values are making polar research more effective, sustainable, and respectful. From practical field strategies to rethinking the way research stations are built, this conversation highlights how teamwork and innovation are shaping the future of science in fragile environments..
Joining us are:
- Patrick Aebischer: Founder of the Forel Heritage Association
- Cornelius Eich: Head of Partnership & Sustainability at Boris Herrmann Team Malizia
- Arved Fuchs: Expedition Leader at OCEAN CHANGE
- Morten Rasch: Polar Scientist at Activ Expeditions
- Romain Troublé: CEO of the Tara Ocean Foundation
- Danièle Rod: Executive Director of the Swiss Polar Institute
The conversation is moderated by Antje Boetius, then-Director of the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, and Co-Chair of the Polar Dialogue.
This panel was recorded live at the 2024 Arctic Circle Assembly, as part of the Polar Dialogue.
