A young, talented and diverse group of Antarctic researchers working in the field alongside some of the sector’s research veterans was a hallmark of the Denman Marine Voyage (DMV).
The two-month-long voyage to the largely unexplored Denman Glacier and Shackleton Ice Shelf region of East Antarctica presented unprecedented scientific opportunities, to gather data and learn more about the Denman system, and how and why it is changing.
It also presented another golden opportunity – a chance to reach out and share the science with students as it was happening, through an organised outreach program.
As it would turn out, the program went on to include students of all ages and from around the world – even, in different languages.
Outreach Coordinator Neve Clippingdale (Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS)) led the program, which was made possible through an ACEAS legacy grant.
