Episode 91: Dr Amelie Meyer (IMAS) - Part 1

This episode features Part 1 of Craig's interview with Dr Amelie Meyer who is an Australian Research Council Discover Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) Fellow, at the Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes (CECE), Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS), University of Tasmania. She is currently a CECE Chief Investigator and she works on climate variability, polar science and ocean circulation to look at how and why polar regions are influenced by climate.  In this Part 1 you will hear Amelie talk very engagingly about her 'highly migratory' path from high school (which included a year in Oregon, USA), to an undergraduate degree and a MSc at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton in the UK, then a PhD based at IMAS, and on to a postdoc at the Norwegian Polar Institute in Tromsø. The latter included 85 days of research while on a remote sea ice-drift and the Institute's vessel RV Lance, investigating ocean-ice interactions in the changing Arctic. Part 2 of Amelie's interview will feature in the next episode of Vibes Under The Sea.
