Marine biophysicist Dr Russell Arnott of Incredible Oceans describes how a whole plethora of marine animals use the laws of physics to survive and thrive in all parts of the ocean, right down to the distant deep. Marine biology meets physics in a range of examples, from the acoustic properties of whales to the tiny shrimp that packs a supersonic punch.

As a marine biologist, Dr Russell Arnott has presented across the world, with live appearances on numerous radio and TV programmes. He has featured on Sky News and the Channel 5 Saturday Show, and on BBC Radio 4’s Natural Histories.

His research has taken him all over the world from the Southern Ocean with the British Antarctic Survey up to the Gulf of Bothnia in Northern Sweden.

He has presented at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, Scripps Institute of Oceanography and the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton among others. With a passion for ocean conservation and a talent for engaging people of all ages, he seeks to instil his love for our ocean into people everywhere.
