Women In Polar Science

Andrea Herbert, PhD

What’s the work that you do?

I do a little bit of everything. I’m on the edge of academia, occasionally coordinating teaching projects at university, guiding on polar expedition vessels, or consulting on Antarctic projects for a colleague’s consulting firm.

What keeps you going?

Knowing that it’s a privilege to be involved in polar endeavours. I get a kick out of both physical in-person activities in icy environments and the more removed desk-based approach, e.g., about how best to manage our engagement with the Polar Regions.

What’s your message to the world?

Women are invaluable in polar work!
