In this episode, Cara chats to oceanographer Professor Jonathan Sharples about his work applying Physics to explore the relationship between processes in the ocean, such as tides and currents, and the growth, distribution and characteristics of plankton populations. We also talk about his academic journey from Astrophysics to Physical Oceanography, what it’s like to take part in a research ‘cruise’ and the experience of seeing hundreds of dolphins in the Celtic Sea.
