Description

Brigham Young University-Hawaii's assistant professor Spencer Ingley goes on a once-in-a-lifetime, all-expenses-paid research trip. We talked to him about his background in biology research, his passion for environmental stewardship, and the awareness he hopes to raise.

Airbnb and Ocean Conservancy has a once-in-the-lifetime trip for five volunteers to Antarctica. More than 140,000 people around the world applied to help research microplastics on one of earth's most untouched continent.

During the month-long expedition, Ingley will attend training in Chile, fly to Antarctica, collect snow samples, visit and explore the South Pole, and return to Chile to finish their study. http://www.byui.edu/radio/byu-hawaii-professor-to-perform-research-in-chile-and-antarctica
