In this episode of Ocean Pod, Dr Nina Wootton and Professor Bronwyn Gillanders are joined by Nick Freymueller, a paleoecologist and biogeographer whose research explores how species respond to a changing climate.. Nick recently completed a joint PhD between the University of Copenhagen and the University of Adelaide, using fossils and ecological modelling to understand how Arctic species like the bowhead whale have survived dramatic shifts in climate over time.
From whale fossils and ancient DNA to modern conservation, this episode dives into what the past can teach us about resilience, adaptation, and the future of our oceans.
