As part of the AWT Science Stories series, we’re excited to share two fascinating talks that take you from the ends of the Earth to our own local shores. First, join our Senior Ecologist, Tara Cox, as she recounts her journey to Antarctica, where she strengthened her expertise in using drone technology to monitor wildlife populations in one of the planet’s most extreme environments. Following this, the focus shifts closer to home with Changing Crabs on Alderney’s Rocky Shores, presented by Senior Ecologist Consultant, Alex Purdie, exploring how local marine life is responding to change.
