Planet Beyond Podcast
Exploring oceans in a submersible
Denise Swanborn is an expedition manager with Nekton. She recently completed her PhD in marine science, at Oxford. In this episode, recorded on International Women’s Day, she talks to Jon Baston-Pitt about her own path to marine exploration, and describes the excitement and wonder of a career spent exploring the depths.
Denise’s work has taken her around the world, as she explores life in the mesophotic, or medium light layer of the ocean. This is in many ways the nursery of the ocean, where Denise took to inaccessible depths in submersible vessels around the Seychelles for her PhD.
