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 Elin talks about her predictions for the conservation message of the final episode.
A changing ocean is not only a threat to the marine environment – as we’ve seen in each previous episode, all life is intertwined with the ocean so any change can heavily effect humans too.
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.
This week Dr Jon Copley, Associate Professor in Ocean Exploration & Public Engagement and scientific advisor to Blue Planet II, has written a piece on our 'Exploring our Oceans' blog about the expedition to Antarctica that he took with the Blue Planet II team.
