Paul Ponganis from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UCSD
gives a talk entitled "Emperor Penguins: Pushing the Envelope of
Hypoxemia" at the Crary Lab science building in McMurdo. He works at Penguin Ranch, near McMurdo,
where they strap instruments to the backs of emperor penguins in order
to study their physiology while diving. The emperors are known to dive
as deep as 500m and for as long as 26 minutes.
