Heather Lynch: Penguins of Antarctica

Brand Update in Progress - We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to enhance your experience.

Antarctica’s name alone conjures imagery of the harshest environment on Earth, but it is more than its monochromatic colour scheme of snow and ice. Meet the many species of penguins that waddle and swim through the freezing water, along with an abundance of other life, on a journey south with quantitative ecologist Heather Lynch. 

National Geographic Explorer Dr. Heather Lynch is dedicated to understanding the population dynamics of Antarctic wildlife, with a particular focus on Antarctic penguins. She has more than a decade of field experience on the continent. She is an Associate Professor at Stony Brook University with a joint appointment in the Department of Ecology & Evolution and the Institute for Advanced Computational Science.
