When not working with her horses, Dr Linda Armbrecht (@IMASUTAS) is pioneering techniques to extract ancient DNA from Antarctic seafloor sediments, unlocking secrets from up to a million years in the past.
Dr Linda Armbrecht — Dorothy Hill Medal 2025
As a marine scientist at IMAS, Linda extracts ancient DNA from Antarctic sediments, revealing how past life adapted to climate change, enhancing our grasp of Earth’s history.

The first Kasten core deployment has extracted a tube of mud from the #Antarctic seafloor. Once in the lab, the sampling begins for traces of ancient eDNA (@AusAntarctic) and porewater, and measuring for thermal conductivity. #DMV

🌊 "As an oceanographer, I’m excited about the prospect of getting ocean, ice and climate data from a region where few observations have been collected.
The only way to get information like this is to be there."
