Tiny animals, mighty impacts: modelling polar species on the move

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Alexander R Epstein .

Polar marine species include charismatic polar bears and penguins, but also many species of plankton and fish. These lesser-known species are small, incredibly abundant, and crucial for healthy ecosystems and climate regulation. Using examples from both the Arctic and Antarctic, I will demonstrate how we can use data driven models to i) understand the distribution of these species, and ii) provide evidence to support conservation and management decisions in the face of climate change. As well as highlighting some exciting advances and ongoing work in this field, I will finish with some reflections of a different note – how creative forms of storytelling including music and poetry can help us re-connect with and communicate our research.
