As the Weddell seal field study season progresses here in Antarctica, we'll be posting videos about various aspects of both the science, and the field work and camp life of the research team on the ice.

To get started with our videos about the Weddell seal science work of the research team, here's a brief video introduction to the Erebus Bay Weddell seal population study, its long history, and the value of this research work taking place in the pristine marine environment of Antarctica's Ross Sea. This video features an interview with one of our lead researchers and principal investigators, Montana State University population ecologist Jay Rotella.
