he Far South is changing rapidly. We have already seen warming oceans and vast decreases in sea ice coverage. The future state of our climate depends on what happens next.
Join us for a special Island of Ideas talk in Burnie with physical oceanographer Dr Edward Doddridge as he takes us to the vast ocean surrounding Antarctica.
Drawing on historic Antarctic expeditions, satellite observations and supercomputer modelling, Ed will reveal how changes in the Far South are reshaping ocean systems across the globe.

Edward Doddridge is a prize-winning jam maker and Physical Oceanographer at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies in Tasmania. He uses super computers, mathematical theory, and observations to explore the ocean and sea ice around Antarctica. He studied Maths and Physics as an undergraduate at the University of Tasmania and obtained his doctorate from the University of Oxford, where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar. He subsequently worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before returning to Tasmania.
