    PRESSURISED: 055 - Antarctic Fishes
    Feb 15 2025
    Our short and to the point PRESSURISED version of episode 55. If you don't have time for the full episode and want to get right to the science without any of our waffle, this is the place to be! Read the show notes and find the full episode here: https://www.armatusoceanic.com/podcast/055-antarcticfishes Now it’s Thom’s turn to hit Antarctica. He’s out with the Schmidt Ocean Institute on the Antarctic Climate Connections expedition to the Bellinghousen Sea, to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula. He will record, edit and upload a podcast from there… somehow. This episode may sound a little rougher as a result, but the content is gold as ever… Underrated belter alert. We talk to Antarctic fishes expert Thomas Desvignes about the fishes that are only found there and their amazing adaptations. Of course, we also have a remote coffee with Andrew. We’re really trying to make this project self-sustaining so we have started looking for ways to support the podcast. Here’s a link to our page on how to support us, from the free options to becoming a patron of the show. We want to say a huge thank you to those patrons who have already pledged to support us: Thanks again for tuning in, we’ll deep-see you next time! Check out our podcast merch here! Which now includes Alan’s beloved apron and a much anticipated new design...

    Antarctic Fishes
    Feb 8 2025
    The gang has swapped places, Alan is back in Perth and now it’s Thom’s turn to hit Antarctica. He’s out with the Schmidt Ocean Institute on the Antarctic Climate Connections expedition to the Bellinghousen Sea, to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula. He will record, edit and upload a podcast from there… somehow. This episode may sound a little rougher as a result, but the content is gold as ever… Underrated belter alert. The Prof managed to have some downtime with the family in Antarctica and has some great stories to tell, he’s a chopper guy now. He’s over subs and only into helicopters now… the subs of the sky. We talk to Antarctic fishes expert Thomas Desvignes about the fishes that are only found there and their amazing adaptations. Of course, we also have a remote coffee with Andrew.

    PRESSURISED: 054 - Going to Antarctica
    Jan 10 2025

    Our short and to the point PRESSURISED version of episode 54. If you don't have time for the full episode and want to get right to the science without any of our waffle, this is the place to be!

    https://www.armatusoceanic.com/podcast/054-antarctica

    It’s a big one! With The Professor down in Antarctica and Dr Thom not too far behind him, we’ve got an update live from the field. We’re talking about Antarctic submarine dives, below-freezing trenches, unexpected uses of glacial ice and, of course, the importance of growing a beard…

    But they’re not alone! This month we’re joined by the incredible Shaylyn Potter (Marine Scientist, Sub Pilot and polar diver) as she talks us through the intricacies and unique nature of this environment. We learn about what makes an iceberg different from a bergy bit (yes, that’s a real word), and why plans don’t always go as planned in the south.

    We’re really trying to make this project self-sustaining so we have started looking for ways to support the podcast. Here’s a link to our page on how to support us, from the free options to becoming a patron of the show. We want to say a huge thank you to those patrons who have already pledged to support us!

    Thanks again for tuning in, we’ll deep-see you next time!
