Episode 242
Welcome, listeners, to Part 2 of our mini-series recorded on the CSIRO research vessel (RV) Investigator!
Have you ever tried your hand at a lucky dip? What about hook-a-duck? In this week’s episode we’re going to hear about the deepest lucky dip possible: scooping rocks with a net on the bottom of the ocean.
Chief Scientist Professor Jo Whittaker tells us about how this is possible, and is joined in the episode by fellow geologists and the crew on board who help facilitate the work. And, afterwards, join Olly as she’s taken on a tour of the ship’s galley and stores!
