The Gobabeb Namib Research Institute is one of science's best-kept secrets: a remote field institute embedded in one of the world's most interesting deserts - the Namib. My association with Gobabeb stretches back for nearly forty years, from the time I was a Research Officer at the University of Cape Town, to most recently a residency as a Fulbright Scholar.
iI have produced several documentary format series to highlight the fascinating people who come through Gobabeb and their work.
What's happening at Gobabeb? is a series of short interviews with resident and visiting researchers and students to help spread the news about the fascinating work being done there.
The Gobabeb Namib Research Institute has a fascinating history and unique culture that should be told. When I had the opportunity, I would sit down with people who could tell their stories about Gobabeb's history and its culture.
