BLAKE Expeditions
Doubtful Sound 2022

In 2022 delegates will travel to Doubtful Sound to learn from world class scientists and environmental leaders while undertaking scientific research and exploration.

Doubtful Sound is the deepest of New Zealand’s 14 fjords and provides a unique opportunity to better understand how fjord systems work and the ability of fjords to soak up carbon.

Fjords are significant carbon sinks and play an important role in storing carbon and regulating climate.

Students and teachers will work with a range of scientists, to explore the region and map and understand how carbon is buried in sediments of the fjord. This research will help understand the size, mechanics, and stability of carbon sinks across the world.
