This is Dr Tengku Nilam Baizura Tengku Ibrahim, one of our #100polarwomen who investigates how pollutants such as microplastics, rare earth elements and trace metals affect Antarctica’s fragile aquatic ecosystems, helping science support a healthier planet.
This is Sofia Chung, one of our #100polarwomen & a marine biologist who looks at #krill & how black carbon could have an impact in their physiology, with a focus on their distribution, ecology and response to environmental change.
This is Prof. Dr. Wan Maznah Wan Omar, one of our #100polarWomen & a biologist whose #Antarctic journey began more than 20 years ago when her fascination for how microscopic life responds to Antarctica’s extreme environmental gradients took her to the Ice.
This is Dr Susana Flecha, one of our #100polarwomen and a marine biogeochemist who listens to the #SouthernOcean breathe, studying invisible gases that play a critical role in shaping our climate and future.

This is Julianne Burns,one of our #100polarWomen & a PhD student exploring how Antarctica’s ice sheets responded to warming in the past,using sedimentology & other clues preserved in the landscape to understand the connection between ice, #ocean & #atmosphere.
This is Grace Cordsen,one of our #100polarwomen exploring how people interact with polar environments, examining the impacts of tourism, heritage, science & education - can experiencing these places inspire lasting changes in how we understand & care for them?
This is Girija Kalyani Burada, PhD, one of our #100polarwomen and a climate scientist who studies how atmospheric rivers and weather systems shape Antarctica’s climate, ice, snowfall and melting in a warming world.
