Dr Sandra Zicus

Antarctic Climate & Ecosystems CRC, Australia

Communications Manager

In ‘past lives’, I have worked as a science and environmental educator and communicator with teachers, students, rural landowners, non-governmental organisations, and resource management agencies in Australia, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Mexico, the Philippines and the United States. I earned my PhD in Geography from the University of Hawai’i in the Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Biology Program, and have always been intrigued by the way different aspects of our world connect and interact. Most of my prior experience has been in tropical and temperate regions, so the SIPEX voyage is an exciting opportunity for me to learn more about the polar regions. During this voyage, I will help communicate the research being done through work on the website, writing and photography, as well as assist with the biology program.
