Dr. Iliana Baums: Coral scientist studying the shallows and the deep sea

Ocean Allison Podcast

Iliana is an associate professor at Pennsylvania State University studying the evolution and ecology of corals - both in the shallow waters as well as in the deep sea. In this episode we discuss our recent ECOGIG expedition studying the continued impacts of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill on deep sea corals and their surrounding ecosystems, what motivates Iliana to study corals, and the importance and excitement of exploring the deep sea.
