This work is in partnership with @wwf.org.uk and British Antarctic Survey, and was hosted at sea by Hurtigruten Expeditions.

Why scientists are counting tiny Antarctic krill from Space Differences in seawater colour could reveal how tiny Antarctic creatures are faring in a warming world.

Recent PhD graduate, Dr Cait McCarry, has just returned from an expedition to the Southern Ocean to measure the optical properties of krill. This will let her develop a new algorithm to monitor them from space.
