How do you make a scientific discovery? What paths must be taken, and what role do time and chance play? "Dans les pas d'Archimède" is a series of podcasts from Aix Marseille Université, in which researchers tell the story of a discovery they have made.
In this episode, we explore ocean deserts with Sophie Bonnet, oceanographer at the Institut méditerranéen d'océanologie and director of the HOPE research project, which is based in Nouméa, New Caledonia, and studies the way in which tropical oceans trap carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
