    About This Project

    This expedition will explore the Amazon, Patagonia, and Antarctica by sailing and conducting water-based sampling. Using environmental DNA (eDNA) from water, we will track vertebrate biodiversity and reveal how climate change and human activity reshape ecosystems. Vertebrate diversity is expected to vary across regions, leaving detectable signatures in the eDNA. Local students and indigenous groups will join in citizen science, linking global research to community knowledge.
