At The Ocean Embassy, Anna Madlener, marine robotics engineer and ocean enthusiast, interviews scientists, engineers, researchers, policymakers, politicians, with one vision: to share the manifold work done to protect our oceans, give an insight into the technological developments required to discover life in the water; an insight into the struggles of transferring knowledge interdisciplinarily or getting important research into meaningful, impactful legislation. We will talk about ways and means to attract new talent, funds, and technology, and why it so so essential to explore the deep sea.

#11 Emma Bolton — Scientific diving, assessing marine biodiversity and understanding environmental DNA

Today's guest Emma Bolton is a marine biologist from Brighton/London and currently a research scientist at Basecamp Research. Previously, she worked for the British Antarctic Survey as a scientific diver, conducting important research under sea ice.

In this new episode, we discuss Emma's journey to become a scientific diver and her 20-month deployment on the Southern Pole. Afterwards, we talk about her important work at Basecamp Research where she collects environmental DNA to discover new species and assess biodiversity. Marine environments are particularly interesting and essential to study in this regard — find out why!
