    #5 It's cold beneath the surface: Working for British Antarctic Survey, in a changing climate, with Professor Lloyd Peck

    FIRSTLY I'd like to introduce Dr Reuben Shipway, a marine biology lecturer from the University of Plymouth, who makes his Beneath the Surface guest co-host debut in this episode WOOO.  In this episode, We speak to Professor Lloyd Peck, a polar marine biologist who studies how organisms adapt to the cold. Lloyd works for British Antarctic survey and has featured as part of David Attenborough's Frozen planet. We talk about Lloyd's childhood, the reality of working in Antarctica over the years, what it takes to be a scientist and the reality of the climate crisis.  I was very privileged to have this conservation with Lloyd, i was inspired by his story, intrigued by his science and his honest take on the climate crisis gave me lots ponder. This is an extremely thought provoking and inspiring episode for anyone who lives on this planet :)  Feel free to get in touch with me to discuss any questions/feedback/ guest ideas! I'd love to hear from you all.

    #1: Life after Beneath the Surface with Louise-Océane Delion

    In this episode I am catching up with Louise-Océane Delion to find out what her life has been like since graduating university and her last episode on the PBTS podcast. We talk all things uni, seagrass restoration, sustainable seafood, sailing expeditions and future plans. Louise gave lots of advice for current students on placement options, how to make the most out of your degree and also life after university. It was really great to chat to Louise because she has been where my fellow students and I currently are in the process of becoming a marine biologist. To keep up to date with Louise's adventures follow @twosealions on instagram   To learn about the sort of work that Louise and the crew of the Pheonix expedition are doing go to: https://phoenix-expedition.com/en/home/ Feel free to get in touch with me to discuss any questions/feedback/ guest ideas!

    #0 We're back Beneath the Surface!

    WE ARE BACKKKKKK for season 2 of Plymouth Beneath the Surface!  My name is Lauren and I am a second year marine biology and coastal ecology student at Plymouth university. I am really excited to have taken over this podcast.  In this podcast you'll meet people from Plymouth that have oriented their lives around the ocean, discuss current topics,local conservation initiatives and discover why Plymouth is the best place in the world to study and work in the field of marine biology (sorry, Southampton).

  7. 🌎 Episode #14: Understanding & alleviating our impact on biodiversity ... with John Spicer

    🌎 Episode #14: Understanding & alleviating our impact on biodiversity ... with John Spicer

    For this final episode, I am interviewing John Spicer. John is a professor at the University of Plymouth and is a world-renowned expert on the effects of climate change on marine organisms. His research focuses on marine organisms and how they adapt to climate change, looking at the effect on ocean acidification, hypoxia (low oxygen) and rising temperatures. John has contributed a substantial wealth of knowledge to the field over three decades, with more than 180 research papers, multiple academic books, writing for popular culture, and advising national and international policymakers. But John has also been one of my lecturers at university, and has been one of the most influential and inspirational people I have listened to and learnt from during my degree. My first encounter with him was 4 years ago, when I first started uni when he was giving us lectures on global biodiversity and threats facing it.  I couldn't do an episode with John, as he played such an important role in my journey in Plymouth, and is so appreciated among students. So here we are, for the final episode of the series, John and I, talking about biodiversity. In this episode, John explains what biodiversity is, what are the main threats affecting it, and what we can do to alleviate our impact on biodiversity.  John highlights the importance of living a considerate life, and asking ourselves not "can we do it" anymore, but "do we want to do it" when it comes to changing our way of life.  Take a deep breath and join us for this inspiring conversation, talking about human nature, religion and faith, interconnection of living organisms and our place within the ecosystem that is the Earth.  Thanks for listening 🌎🙏🏼🦐🌱💙💚  More information about John: https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/research/john-spicer His book Biodiversity: A Beginner’s Guide: https://www.waterstones.com/book/biodiversity/john-spicer/9780861540174 Email: J.I.Spicer@plymouth.ac.uk Twitter: @realdocspicer To dive deeper into the biodiversity crisis and the main challenges facing it: The Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (2019) You can find me here: Instagram: @plymouthbeneaththesurface Twitter: @twosealions.

    🐬 Episode #13: An insight into the world of marine mammals ... with Clare Embling

    In this new episode, I'm chatting with Clare Embling. Clare is an associate professor in marine ecology at the University of Plymouth. Her research focuses on the ecology and conservation of marine vertebrates (marine mammals, seabirds and fish), habitat modelling, bioacoustics, and human impacts on marine species (e.g. impacts of increasing noise in the sea) and she is the leader of the Marine Vertebrates Research Unit at the University. Clare has been one of my lecturers, and I particularly enjoyed one of the last modules I did with her on the ecology and conservation of large marine vertebrates. Clare is extremely passionate, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the world of marine vertebrates, especially marine mammals.  In this episode, we talk about the different species of cetaceans found in British/Plymouth waters, the threats they're facing, what conservation actions should be taken but Clare also shares with us some important and inspiring moments of her career and life. This conversation is filled with inspiration, advice, knowledge & joy.  I hope this episode makes you smile - it surely did when I was recording and editing it.  Thanks for listening! 🐬🐋⛵🎶🎧🎣 More about Clare & her work:  Research: https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/staff/clare-embling & https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/research/marine-biology-and-ecology-research-centre/marine-vertebrates Email: clare.embling@plymouth.ac.uk Twitter: @ClareEmbling  Instagram: marinevertscru You can find me here: Instagram: @plymouthbeneaththesurface Twitter: @twosealions.
