After each week's episode our MSci students Kieran and Elin will be updating the Exploring our Oceans blog. They will share their thoughts about the episode and relate it back to what they are learning here at Southampton.
This week Kieran shares the experience of watching the first episode with this fellow students here on campus.
I attended a live screening which the Marine Conservation Society had organised, which was heaving with very excited young scientists and other enthusiasts.
Expert commentary from our staff
Research undertaken by staff here at the University of Southampton has informed much of the science that is covered in Blue Planet II.
Dr Jon Copley, Associate Professor in Ocean Exploration & Public Engagement, was a scientific advisor for the series.
"Blue Planet II immerses us in the wonder of the ocean more than ever before. The previous Blue Planet inspired many students to study marine biology, so it's been great to contribute to this series, and I hope that it will move us to think deep for our future."
