In 2017, she was chief scientist on a research expedition to Greenland. In all that time, she's become an expert in collecting animals from the seafloor, gathering tiny plankton, sampling seawater, mud and rocks. She's mapped thousands of kilometres of seabed using sonar. She studies of impact of climate change on past, present and future seas, assesses plastic pollution and advises governments how to protect these fragile, important parts of the planet. In 2022 she is taking up a senior position at the British Antarctic Survey.Dr Helen Scales is a marine biologist and best-selling author.
