The hunt for ancient DNA under the sea ice

Danielle Grant is a PhD-student that hunts ancient DNA under the sea ice in the Arctic. As part of the EU-funded AGENSI project Grant is working on understanding the past variability of sea ice in the Arctic by finding fossile DNA in the sediments on the ocean floor north of Svalbard. Learn about her work together with our host Stephen Outten from Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center and co-host Ingjald Pilskog from Western Norway University of Applied Sciences.
