Copepods: Zooplankton & Microscopic Life in Arctic Lakes

Based at the Climate Impacts Research Station, we take you into the field with scientists as they investigate climate change in an Arctic environment. We're with Steph Owens and Danny Lau, sampling copepods, a type of tiny crustacean that lives in the water to measure growth rates in different types of pond to see how they react to an increase in organic matter, which is likely to occur with climate change.

Om Podcasten

A climate change podcast from the front lines of Arctic climate research. Based at the Abisko Scientific Research Station in northern Sweden, each episode we'll join a different team of scientists out in the field as they conduct their research in the arctic environment. From carbon emissions from changing soil types as the permafrost thaws to the movement of plant species' range as the warmer winters and longer growing seasons change their environment, we'll find out how their cutting-edge research helps us to understand climate change better.
