The Delmarva Peninsula sits between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, two hours from Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington DC, and it is one of the last relatively undeveloped stretches of the entire eastern megalopolis. It is also the third most vulnerable spot in the country to sea level rise. That combination makes it one of the most interesting places in America to talk about land conservation. National Land Realty agent Sue Hudson and Matthew Heim of the Lower Shore Land Trust join this episode to break down how conservation easements actually work, what they do and do not restrict, and why the reputation they have for locking land away and killing its value is mostly wrong. Matthew explains how his organization has protected 25,000 acres across three Maryland counties, how payments to landowners can run several thousand dollars per acre, and why many easement holders immediately reinvest that capital back into their farming operations. The conversation also goes deep on what is actually happening to this landscape, saltwater intrusion drawing visible lines through crop fields, ghost forests appearing where coastal marshes are advancing inland, and a sinking tectonic plate compounding everything. For landowners on the Eastern Shore and anywhere else facing development pressure, water impact or generational transition questions, this episode is a ground-level look at what conservation tools are actually available and how to find them.   Lower Shore Land Trust https://www.lowershorelandtrust.org/   Talk with Sue Hudson https://nationalland.com/real-estate-agent/sue-hudson    Visit National Land Realty to see our Listings!  https://nationalland.com/ 

First up on the podcast, producer Kevin McLean talks with Staff Writer Paul Voosen about the latest on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC. Researchers have long been concerned that global warming could cause a collapse in the AMOC, which would trigger dramatic cooling in Northern Europe. But recent data and models suggest the AMOC may be more resilient than previously thought. Next on the show, Scott Marek, assistant professor in the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University School of Medicine, talks with host Sarah Crespi about brainwide association studies (BWAS) for childhood brain development. BWAS measure structure and function across many brains and look for correlations between these measures and behavior, disease, and environment. In this work, Marek and colleagues focus on how socioeconomic factors—captured by zip code—are strongly correlated with certain brain differences in more than 4000 children ages 9.5 to 11. The work also suggests lack of sleep and excess screen time could mediate the influence of socioeconomic conditions on differences in brain structure and function.

The National Science Foundation has announced it will begin removing most of the Ocean Observatories Initiative, a collection of roughly 900 instruments in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans that gathers fixed-point data on temperature, carbon dioxide levels, and more. The move is part of a broader trend within the current administration to shelve climate science research and reporting.   Also, today the Agora and Acropolis of Athens, Delphi on Mount Parnassus, and other Greek archaeological sites preserve not only cultural heritage, but also animal and plant species, including some that were around in ancient times and are described in historical accounts and Greek mythology. And the indigenous residents of Bougainville island in Papua New Guinea say their home used to provide them with everything they needed—shelter, fertile land, and clean water. That is until a copper and gold mine run by British-Australian company Rio Tinto set up shop and operated in the 1970s and 80s. Today, heavy metals like copper sulfate and cadmium still pollute waterways, and Theonila Roka Matbob, the 2026 Goldman Environmental Prize Winner for Islands and Island Nations, has been fighting for years to pressure Rio Tinto into taking full responsibility for remediating this damage. --   Save the date and sign up for the next virtual Living on Earth Book Club event on July 14 at 5 pm PDT / 8 pm EDT!

This is our 5th of five episodes with various River Forecast Centers of the United States. In the uppermost northeast corner of the US, the Northeast River Forecast Center is bound on three sides by water: the Great Lakes to the west, Canada's lakes and bays to the north, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. The mountains of this region collect this moisture from various weather events and send that water down the river valleys. In this episode we talk with Bill Leatham, a Senior Hydrometeorologist with the Northeast River Forecast Center. This landscape is impacted by its regional waterscape, the hurricanes in the Southeast and even the weather patterns of El Niño and La Niña. What winter weather did they receive? When did their snow melt? Are they experiencing a drought? What type of storms do they expect this summer?

Every spring, something remarkable happens in the tidal waters of Black Creek in Esopus, New York: tiny, translucent eels — just an inch and a half long and barely the weight of a postage stamp — swim in from the Atlantic Ocean, following a journey that began in the Sargasso Sea nearly a year before.In this episode, guest host Sierra DeVito joins the Hudson River Eel Project at Black Creek Preserve, where Professor Susan Hereth of SUNY New Paltz leads a team of college and high school students in weekly data collection on the American eel — one of nature's most elusive and mysterious creatures. No one has ever witnessed eels spawning. No one knows exactly what draws them to the Hudson, or to Black Creek specifically. And yet, year after year, they return.We wade in with the crew as they haul the fyke net, count and weigh glass eels, record field data, and release the eels upstream. We also hear from students about what it means to do real science in the real world — and why it matters.In this episode:The remarkable (and still poorly understood) life cycle of the American eel, from the Sargasso Sea to the Catskill tributariesHow community scientists collect data that feeds into long-term fisheries researchThe black market for glass eels — and why a single eel can be worth serious moneyWhy getting students into the muck may be the best environmental education of allFor more information or to inquire about volunteering with the Hudson River Eel Project, visit the NYS DEC website — https://dec.ny.gov/nature/waterbodies/oceans-estuaries/hudson-river-estuary-program/community-science-volunteer-opportunities

From Issue 1 of the Police Science Dr Magazine "I believe evidence-based policing is a trending topic and we should follow this path because it is necessary for you to have strong evidence to support our decision-makers and once we have academia beside us it's really important, because we are not alone and we start in this process right now. This is something really new here in Brazil, in Rio de Janeiro specifically. I don't see any initiative so far, so what we are trying to do is to bring academia closer to the police to work together and to investigate together, to study together, to discuss. I think this is the path that once we have better informed decisions based on academic evidence, it will help us a great deal, I believe." "We have a strong problem here concerning drug dealers, concerning illegal firearms, so we need to better investigate how these firearms, how drugs arrive here in Brazil, specifically in Rio de Janeiro, because we don't have international borders, we are on the coast, we are bordering the Atlantic Ocean, so borders in Brazil are far away from my home town, my home state, and we don't produce drugs, we don't have coca plantations, we don't produce firearms but we have a lot of problems with drugs and firearms here, so we need to study more in depth what's happening and take some actions based on informed academic decisions." "It's really a huge problem, because we have huge borders and our borders are porous. For you to have a rough idea, Brazil has 17,000 km of land borders and we share borders in Brazil with 10 different countries in South America, among these 10 we have Colombia, Peru and Bolivia, the three major producers of coca in the world. So, cocaine arrives pretty easily in Brazil, just in terms of comparison, the United States South border with Mexico has roughly 3,000 km of land borders and Brazil has 17,000 km of land borders with 10 different countries, and three major producers of coca, so just considering these numbers you can understand how huge is our challenge here in Brazil to control our borders, to avoid international trafficking, to counter international organised criminals is really huge problem."   www.PoliceScienceDr.com/mag1

The Panama Canal links the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. With all that water around it, it's hard to imagine the canal running low. But that's happened several times in recent years. And it could happen more often in the decades ahead—a result of our warming climate. The canal is crucial to the global economy. For ships traveling between the east and west coasts of the United States, it cuts the journey by about 9,000 miles and many days. On average, about 35 big ships pass through it every day. But in 2023 and '24, the number was cut to as few as 24 per day. Ships were stacked up on both ends of the canal—stranded by historic drought conditions. Ships pass through a series of locks that lift them over higher ground in the middle of Panama. The locks are fed mainly by a large freshwater lake. Each passage uses tens of millions of gallons, most of which empties into the ocean. The drought was triggered in part by El Niño, which warms the eastern Pacific. It blocks rainfall over Panama, while increasing evaporation. As the climate warms, El Niño-like conditions may become more common. A recent study found that additional warming might make canal operations even tougher. And under a worst-case scenario, major droughts could become common—turning the Panama Canal into a major bottleneck. The canal's operators are planning to build a new lake to boost the water supply—hedging their bets against warmer days ahead. The post Drying Out appeared first on Marine Science Institute. The University of Texas at Austin..

What do ocean rowing, flood modelling and insurance innovation have in common? More than you might think.  In this episode, Matthew Grant is joined by Harry Vardigans, Head of Insurance at Fathom, for a conversation that spans Atlantic Ocean rowing, catastrophe modelling and the evolving nature of risk in insurance.  Later this year, Harry will join three teammates in an attempt to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean, travelling from the Canary Islands to Antigua in a nine-metre boat. What starts as a discussion about one of the world's toughest endurance challenges quickly becomes a fascinating exploration of how individuals and organisations prepare for uncertainty, manage risk and make decisions in complex environments.  Drawing on both his upcoming expedition and his work helping insurers better understand flood risk, Harry reflects on the parallels between navigating an ocean crossing and navigating today's insurance market. From weather forecasting and route optimisation to insurance availability and regulatory change, the conversation highlights how better data and improved modelling can transform previously uninsurable risks into manageable opportunities.  In this conversation, Harry shares:  What it takes to prepare for a 3,000-mile Atlantic rowing race  The practical realities of managing risk in one of the world's most demanding endurance challenges  How weather forecasting and climate intelligence influence decision-making at sea  Why ocean rowing has become a more insurable risk over time  The role regulation plays in creating new insurance opportunities  How Fathom and Swiss Re are combining expertise to advance flood modelling capabilities  Why flood risk assessment has changed significantly over the last five years  The benefits of maintaining a consistent global approach to catastrophe modelling  Lessons from scaling a specialist insurtech business in a competitive market  How the philosophy of continuous improvement can apply to both sport and business  Why ambitious projects often begin with simply committing to the first step  Follow Harry's Atlantic crossing Harry and his crew, Rogue Wave, will be sharing updates as they prepare for and complete their Atlantic crossing.

Harry's recommendation Harry recommends Will It Make The Boat Go Faster? by Ben Hunt-Davis and Harriet Beveridge. The book explores how a relentless focus on actions that directly contribute to your goal can drive exceptional results, a philosophy that has shaped both his approach to business and his preparation for crossing the Atlantic.

It’s a heinous story that shocked the New York community, 34-year-old Erin Merdy drowned her 7, 4 and 3 month old children in the Atlantic Ocean. Merdy left their bodies along the Coney Island shoreline where it took authorities hours to find them. A judge showed leniency to Merdy, going against prosecutors who wanted her sentenced to life without parole. Once you hear how her life turned upside down, from a young woman with hopes of a health care career to a hopeless single mother suffering from postpartum depression, his lesser sentence may be more understandable.

In “American Barbecue's European Adventure,” Gravy reporter Eve Troeh takes us to meet restaurateurs in Prague, Czech Republic (Big Smokers) and Berlin, Germany (Big Stuff Smoked BBQ) who have gone to great lengths to import the techniques and equipment needed to bring American barbecue to their communities. Along with developing their own recipes, working closely with suppliers to select the right breeds and cuts of meat, and perfecting their overnight smoking process, they have also had to cultivate an understanding of and appreciation for BBQ among their customers. While “low and slow” smoked barbecue may seem ubiquitous in the United States, it takes some translating when it crosses the pond into an entirely different culinary context. Adrian Miller, author of the book Black Smoke, which chronicles Black contributions to American barbecue, helps explain what makes American barbecue unique—and even unexpected—in other parts of the world. And while Czech and German immigrants contributed to the early formation of barbecue in central Texas and other Southern enclaves, the reception of American barbecue abroad today shows that its history is not a straight line from the 1800s to now. Instead, it's a conversation that has crossed oceans and generations in a longstanding back-and-forth that can be seen and tasted on modern-day trays of brisket, pulled pork, sausage, and more. At Big Smokers in Prague, chefs Sylvie Jackson and Tomas Oujezdsky show guests that burnt ends—though they may sound suspect—are actually delicious. And at Berlin's Big Stuff Smoked BBQ, Tobias Bürger introduces customers to a hot sandwich. The popularity of Southern-style “low and slow” barbecue seems to know no bounds, and in this episode, Troeh follows the journey of that smoking tradition across the Atlantic Ocean.

The Southeast River Forecast Center hosts a landscape that has the Appalachian Mountains in the north, is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to its east and the Gulf of Mexico to its south, has the Florida Peninsula jutting into those ocean waters, and lowlands between the oceans and mountains. Rain and hurricanes are powerful and important parts of the climate in the Southeast and this region has the most rivers of all the River Forecast Center domains. Did this region have a warm and dry March like much of the country did?  How was their winter precipitation?  What type of summer river flow do they anticipate and what happens here if El Nino is truly the emerging influence? This is the 4th episode in a series hosting interviews with five of the thirteen River Forecast Centers in the US.

Committed vs. Convenient: The Choice That Drives Results   Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Are you in the committed mode? Are you in the convenient mode? And here's what we find out almost 100% of the time. You're not getting the results you want, you probably fell into the convenient mode. And I understand. I live in a shore state, New Jersey. We have a beach, backs right up to the Atlantic Ocean. And guess where everybody is from now until Labor Day? There. Guess where they're not? At networking events, schlepping out to a trade show, and taking the extra phone call. They blocked out their calendar. All of a sudden their Calendly link has nothing on it. That's where they're at, right? So last week I got the op, hey Carl, you wanna go to that concert? Or hey Carl, are you coming to the networking event that you have to drive to New York for? That's an hour and a half away, one way. Which one do you think I wanted to go to? Now, turns out I went to the networking event. Made two nice contacts. Missed the concert. Okay, that's what happens. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO. 

South Africa cheered on the Alexforbes Angel Wings crew ever since they set sail in the gruelling Cape2Rio Yacht Race… and now skipper Sibusiso “Sibu” Sizatu is sharing the incredible story behind the historic victory on this week's “Good Things with Brent Lindeque”. The team captured hearts across the country after overcoming a major setback in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, when their boom snapped during the crossing. Instead of giving up, the young South African crew adapted, stayed calm and continued racing thousands of kilometres without one of the yacht's most important parts. And somehow… they still won the Cape2Rio on handicap. The crew, made up of young sailors from communities including Masiphumelele, Khayelitsha, Grassy Park and Athlone, has become a symbol of courage, teamwork and what's possible when talent meets opportunity. Speaking on the podcast, Sibu shares what really happened out there on the ocean, the pressure of leading the race, and why this victory means so much more than sailing. You can catch the full conversation now on “Good Things with Brent Lindeque”.

In 1982, American sailor Steven Callahan survived 76 days alone in the Atlantic Ocean after his sailboat sank in the middle of the night. In this episode of the Align Podcast, he joins Aaron to share his mind-blowing story. From catching fish and collecting drinking water to managing fear, loneliness, and physical pain, Steven reflects on the mental and spiritual lessons that emerged during one of the most well-known survival stories ever recorded. He also explores resilience, human adaptability, and what life at sea taught him about purpose, suffering, and connection to the natural world. ALIGN PODCAST EPISODE #595 ========== OUR GUEST ========== Best selling author, marine adventurer, artist, and consultant to Oscar-winning directors, Steven Callahan has built his fifty-year career in the maritime and communications businesses on a rare blend of hands-on, real-world experience, technical know-how, philosophy, and the creative arts. Callahan considers the sea the world's greatest wilderness. He often wrote about adventuresome shorthanded offshore sailing events for maritime audiences, but by exploring the universal human issues and emotions that are amplified at sea and through the stress of survival, Callahan's creative work has been able to span both dedicated marine and general audiences. Adrift, Seventy-Six Days Lost at Sea (Houghton Mifflin) chronicles his 2,000-mile (1,800 nautical mile) survival drift across the Atlantic in a six-foot diameter inflated raft in 1982. ================ STEVEN CALLAHAN ================

When most people think about cruising, they picture the Caribbean, Alaska, or the Mediterranean. But what if the journey itself became the destination?In this episode of All Things Travel, Ryan and Julie dive into the unique world of transatlantic cruising — those longer, slower-paced sailings that cross the Atlantic Ocean while offering the chance to truly settle into life at sea.They discuss what makes these cruises so appealing, from relaxing sea days and incredible onboard experiences to surprisingly affordable pricing and the opportunity to combine ocean crossing with a Mediterranean adventure. Along the way, they break down who these cruises are best suited for, important things to consider before booking, and why seasoned cruisers often fall in love with this style of travel.The episode also features a sample 14-night itinerary aboard Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas, sailing from New Jersey to Rome with stops in the Azores, Spain, and Italy. From volcanic landscapes and ancient Roman ruins to Barcelona's vibrant culture and Tuscany's rolling countryside, this itinerary showcases how a transatlantic cruise blends immersive exploration with relaxed luxury.Plus, Ryan shares details about an upcoming Rocky Mountaineer journey through the American Southwest and the Mighty Five National Parks — a trip filled with dramatic landscapes, iconic train travel, and unforgettable scenery.Whether you're dreaming about Europe, curious about repositioning cruises, or simply looking for a more relaxed style of vacation, this episode will help you decide if a transatlantic cruise belongs on your travel wish list.Ready to start planning your next adventure?

The deadly Hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean last month continues to keep people on edge worldwide. U.S. health officials are monitoring dozens of people across the country for symptoms. Eighteen of them were on the Dutch cruise ship and are being quarantined in health facilities in Omaha and Atlanta. When reports of the outbreak began, many were reminded of the 2020 pandemic, when COVID-19 caused worldwide lockdowns, economic turmoil, and millions of deaths. But while officials across the globe are concerned about the spread of hantavirus, most are confident this will not be a repeat of the crisis the world faced six years ago. Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield is one of those experts who says, “This is not COVID.” He joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to discuss the alarm the hantavirus is causing. He explained how hantavirus spreads and why it can be dangerous for those who are infected. He also explained how it's different from COVID, which was a mystery at the time. Redfield also discussed the mistakes made during the COVID crisis and how learning from them will help the world deal with future outbreaks. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on the Fox News Rundown Extra, we share our entire interview with Dr. Robert Redfield. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

But once they told the story, it would set the Ufology community on fire. (The Buff Ledge Abduction) (The Buff Ledge Abduction) *** What is the Bermuda Triangle? What's going on in this mysterious patch of the Atlantic Ocean where dozens of ships, planes, and people have disappeared without explanation?

This is a subject we've referenced many times, but never covered: The Bermuda Triangle!

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Iran's months-long internet blackout is exposing growing cracks inside the regime itself, as politically connected elites reportedly receive privileged online access through controversial “white SIM cards” while millions of ordinary citizens remain digitally cut off from the outside world. North Korea reportedly adopts a chilling new constitutional provision requiring automatic nuclear retaliation if Kim Jong Un is assassinated, raising fresh concerns about a potential “nuclear dead man's switch” inside the isolated regime. An international maritime operation delivers a major blow to global drug cartels after authorities crack down on what investigators describe as a transatlantic “cocaine highway” stretching across the Atlantic Ocean. And in today's Back of the Brief—the man accused of targeting President Trump during last month's White House Correspondents' Dinner pleads not guilty to multiple federal charges as questions surrounding the security breach continue mounting.

On May 2, the World Health Organization got an alarming report: People aboard a ship in the Atlantic Ocean were falling ill. The culprit is now confirmed as hantavirus, a pathogen that some rodents carry that can infect humans in rare, but often deadly, instances. Multiple passengers have died, and more people are showing symptoms. So, we're talking to Emily Abdoler, an infectious disease doctor at the University of Michigan, about the news – how common is hantavirus in humans, what are the consequences of getting it, and how can at-risk people protect themselves from it? If you found this episode interesting, listen to our episode on Rocky Mountain spotted fever.Interested in more science in the news?
