We've all heard creepy noises in the forest, but you probably haven't heard one like this...In this episode, we hear an artist's take on what a kelp forest looks like below the water surface and listen to a 'creepy' sound from the beneath waves as host Euan Paterson meets SAMS artist-in-residence Helena Hunter and marine ecologist Alasdair O'Dell.We discuss how science helps art, and vice-versa, and find that although they have very different methods of collecting 'data', artists and scientists seek to achieve a similar goal: to help us better understand the world around us. So, are they all that different? The Ocean Explorer podcast is produced by the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS), an ocean research charity and partner of UHI based in Oban.In each episode, we take a deep dive into marine science topics with SAMS scientists and special guests.Interested in working or studying with us, or helping with our work?
