Why Science & Education?


Introduction as to why we launched the Science & Education program?

Why is Citizen Science important?

Because Verena said so!

Meet the team

Tudor Morgan and Verena Meraldi bring together some of the leading scientists and experts from around the world to join our voyages as Guest Scientists, and they drive our focus on sustainability and community in the regions where we sail. Emily Baxter and Henry Evans work closely with our Expedition Teams to oversee the delivery of our on-board Science & Education program, from the citizen science projects we support to our diverse lecture and activity programs.

They are all specialists in their fields and have held various posts within the scientific research community, using their knowledge and expertise to contribute to ongoing research projects and provide learning opportunities for our guests.
