Meet Prof. Jenny Gales: marine geoscientist, University of Plymouth, and one of the researchers behind Voyage of Discovery.

She leads ACE, the Antarctic Canyon Experiment, an ERC-funded project measuring Antarctica's turbidity currents for the first time, underwater avalanches so powerful a single one can move more sediment to the deep ocean than all of the world's rivers combined.

In this Voyage Short, she tells us what got her into it, what still surprises her, and why research matters.
