    PRESSURISED: 059 - eDNA with Georgia Nester
    Jun 15 2025
    eDNA with Georgia Nester | The Deep Sea Podcast | Episode 59 Welcome to the PRESSURISED version of episode 59, just the science, none of the waffle

    For this month’s interview, we speak with Dr. Georgia Nester, a colleague of Alan’s from the University of Western Australia, about eDNA (Environmental DNA is any genetic material left behind by organisms in an environment). She talks about how several collection methods, eg.: Niskin bottles, sponges and paper filters, located on the deep-sea lander system, can retrieve different types of eDNA from the deep. Georgia also touches on how diel migrators can really mess with eDNA data, and larvae gave her a surprise when she kept getting hits from very deep-living fish in her surface samples. Georgia even used a water sample to locate surprise eDNA evidence of the Giant Squid in Australian waters, which Al takes as a chance to remind Thom of his Antarctic colossal squid failure.

    Alan talks about how valuable he thinks eDNA is, how it can give a great snapshot of what can’t be seen on the footage or in the submersible, and how it might be able to narrow down species that are difficult to catch, like Bassozetus cusk eels.

    eDNA with Georgia Nester
    Jun 6 2025
    eDNA with Georgia Nester | The Deep Sea Podcast | Episode 59 “Exploration is about the place, adventurism is about the person, science is about the question” Professor Alan Jamieson In an episode recorded earlier than usual, which is to say not recorded late, and so perhaps recorded right on time?... we are talking about environmental DNA or eDNA. Thom is headed off to Norfolk Island, north of New Zealand, to characterize the unique life in the region and hopefully not be eaten by sharks. Alan’s been up to secret things, organizing everyone’s lives and, for a change, is recording this episode from the same country as the last one. In the news, Thom and Alan discuss a recent paper about the extent of ocean exploration, the valuable research it was based on, and the unfortunately defeatist tone. There is a lot left to do, but we have done so much! Also in the news: Bottom trawling releases not only organic carbon into the ocean but also pyrite, which reacts with oxygen in the water and reduces the oceans’ ability to absorb carbon from the air. An art installation pairs a Sri Lankan artist with JAMSTEC and NuStar Technologies for a collection of steel cubes located 7,000 meters (23,000 feet) below the ocean close to the Marianas Trench. The cubes are housed in a seismic monitoring system designed for registering tectonic plate movements. And finally Al and Thom discuss gene mutation in deep-sea fish and a new paper that gives evidence to an old theory that some deep-sea fish are “ancient survivors,” from dinosaur times, while others are “new immigrants,” post mass extinction. For this month’s interview, we speak with Dr. Georgia Nester, a colleague of Alan’s from the University of Western Australia, about eDNA (Environmental DNA is any genetic material left behind by organisms in an environment). She talks about how several collection methods, eg.: Niskin bottles, sponges and paper filters, located on the deep-sea lander system, can retrieve different types of eDNA from the deep.

    PRESSURISED: 058 - Antarctic ice-seabed interactions
    May 9 2025
    Welcome to the PRESSURISED version of episode 58, just the science, none of the waffle

    We are still talking about Antarctica, the continent that keeps on giving!

    For this month's interview, we speak with Devin Harrison - Marine Geoscientist/Postdoctoral Researcher at Kelpie Geoscience - Devin is a postdoctoral research fellow at Kelpie Geoscience. His research utilises high-resolution topographic models of the seafloor and complementary geophysical and geospatial datasets to understand the geomorphic evolution and process landform relationship of the deep sea and the continental shelves. Devin is particularly interested in the glacial geomorphological record and the evolution of glacial environments from the last glacial maximum (~20-25 thousand years ago) to the present day.

    We’re really trying to make this project self-sustaining, so we have started looking for ways to support the podcast.

    May 3 2025
    We are still talking about Antarctica, the continent that keeps on giving! Alan and Thom discuss trying to stop working momentarily, constructing a treehouse, and acquiring a shark. In the news, we rattle off a list of newly discovered species with some very cool (but hard to pronounce) names. There has been a lot of squiddy news. Footage of divers swimming with a giant squid has resurfaced; in an exclusive for the podcast, Alan has recorded more amazing Magnapinna (bigfin or elbow squid) footage. And the biggest bit of news: the colossal squid has been seen alive in its natural habitat for the first time! Thom and Kat were part of the press conference. Megalodon (the not-deep-sea and very extinct shark) has been reassessed based on what we do know. It was likely longer and slimmer than we thought, and we have estimations for their speed and size at birth. We also have a new coelacanth population and a classic car found in the deep.

    It’s the last in our run of episodes about Antarctica. We are all back home, and we promise to stop bothering the poor continent. Thom couldn’t talk about it until after the press release, but the Schmidt Ocean Institute cruise he was on had to look at the seabed under a 150-meter-thick ice shelf right as it moved out of the way. We talked to the science leads on that cruise, Patricia Esquete and Sasha Montelli. We learned about the hydrography and glaciology of that region and then the seabed and communities that were revealed when the ice shelf moved away.

    It’s the last in our run of episodes about Antarctica. We are all back home, and we promise to stop bothering the poor continent. Alan and Thom discuss returning to an inbox of horrors and readjusting to time away. More cable cutting in our news updates, blobfish being voted fish of the year, and the tongue-eating louse potentially being invertebrate of the year. We don’t want to say we influence the news, but it seems a little spooky.

We learned about the hydrography and glaciology of that region and then the seabed and communities that were revealed when the ice shelf moved away.

    Coming to you from an Airbnb, above a ski hire shop, next to a construction site in Ushuia, Argentina… It’s a very special episode as we continue to pester Antarctica.

    We are here for today is a very special birthday. Our favorite and most elusive colossal squid, Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, has been described for 100 years but never seen in its natural environment! We are having a birthday bash for the big girl.

    Joined by Kat Bolstad of the Auckland University of Technology, Squid Squad, we learn what we do and don’t know, as well as the project Thom and Kat came up with to try to find it.

    We’re really trying to make this project self-sustaining, so we have started looking for ways to support the podcast.

    Coming to you from an Airbnb, above a ski hire shop, next to a construction site in Ushuia, Argentina… It’s a very special episode as we continue to pester Antarctica. Alan checks in from Barcelona for mysterious reasons. We’ll have to get the truth our of him in the future… Lots is going on in the news; deep-sea fish keep turning up, including a little Melanocetus anglerfish - sometimes called a black seadevil. This has had a real impact on people. The media tried to call it a monster, but the people fell for this little fish. An orfish, the doomsday fish, also turns up, but is that really a sign of doom? There’s a new giant isopod, and it’s named after Darth Vader - Bathy-normouse! We get excited about Beryllium-10 and ponder neutrinos. But what we are here for today is a very special birthday. Our favorite and most elusive colossal squid, Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, has been described for 100 years but never seen in its natural environment! We are having a birthday bash for the big girl.
