To receive future pods as soon as they're live, please consider an upgrade to a paid subscription.WhoJoel Gratz, Founding Meteorologist and CEO of OpenSnowRecorded onNovember 17, 2022About OpenSnowOpenSnow is a snow and weather forecasting service. It gives you all this, depending on whether or not you want to pay for it:Gratz founded OpenSnow 11 years ago with an email list of 37 people. The company's list now numbers 3 million. Or so. It's like counting flakes in a storm. There are lots of them. The service pinpoints snowfall everywhere on the planet. So Backcountry Bro, you're covered. Lift-Served Larry (that's me), you're covered too. Uphill Harvey – we really wish you'd just pick a side and stop f*****g up the grooming before the lifts open.Anyway, if you love snow and want to know how much of it is going to fall, and where and when, then this app should be your Excalibur. Wield it wisely, Fellow Snowbum.  Why I interviewed himYou know how some people want to live in Florida and make exasperated sounds when more snow materializes on the radar and plan wintertime vacations to places like Aruba? Well I am not one of those people. And neither is Joel Gratz. Wintertime is for skiing. And to enjoy skiing as much as possible, it helps to follow the snow around. That's what Joel, and his brilliant website/app/service, OpenSnow, do.Everyone reading this newsletter is programmed in a different way from Human V1.0. We run toward storms that most humans flee. With urgency. Like some snowy version of a firefighter. Like insane people. Because we know what the genuflecting and hysterical weatherman does not: that snow is potent and intoxicating; that it changes the world and everything in it, including the people who immerse themselves within. If an adult charges into a sandbox or waterpark or ballpit, we regard them suspiciously. That stuff is for kids. But if they spend the day bouncing through snow and enter the bar boot-clicking and semi-dazed and white-draped and grinning madly and asking for a tallboy, we ask them to stand up at our wedding.No one gets this but skiers. And so no one could make a truly ski-centric weather app other than a skier. Someone whose headline, upon analyzing an incoming storm, isn't DEAR GOD DO NOT STEP OUTSIDE STOCK UP ON AMMUNITION AND DRY RATIONS BECAUSE THIS IS IT PEOPLE, but rather DEAR GOD IT'S ABOUT TO SNOW 90 INCHES IN TAHOE GET THERE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!There are plenty of ways to track the weather, of course. Lots of apps, lots of weather services, lots of social media groups. I haven't found one better than OpenSnow, where I can look up any specific ski area and see an hour-by-hour and day-by-day snowfall and weather forecast for 10 days into the future. And that's all I really care about: where will it snow, how much, and when? With a meteorology degree on his wall and a couple decades in his mad-scientist's snow lab, Gratz is as well-equipped to deliver this information as anyone on the planet.What we talked aboutHow early a ski weather guy wakes up; Joel's wintertime and powder-day routine; the secrets of good powder skiing; how a meteorologist was born; Shawnee, Pennsylvania; do they even want snow in the Poconos?; Penn State meteorology; skiing Tussey; an Alpine Meadows powder day on racing skis; Boulder as innovation incubator; how a Vail old-timer outsmarted the guy with the fancy meteorology degree; the mystery of mountain microclimates; the missed Steamboat powder day that inspired the creation of OpenSnow; an email goes out to 37 people on a Tuesday night; a fortuitous conversation with Chris Davenport; how long it took OpenSnow to really establish itself; “a lot of your good fortune is just being born when and where you were”; the several simultaneous tech innovations that enabled widespread online weather forecasting; breaking down the various global weather services (GFS, Euro, etc.), and how they work; “modern meteorology is a miracle of cooperation and funding from taxpayers like us all around the world”; translating raw data and forecasts into the thing skiers most care about: how much is it going to snow, when, and where?; removing the human from the forecasting equation; why and how OpenSnow scaled from Colorado to the rest of the world; why OpenSnow doesn't capture every ski area in the world (yet); snow forecasts for any mapdot on the planet; why OpenSnow shifted to a subscription model and what it meant for the business; La Niña; breaking down the strong early start for the West and the weak weather in New England; dumb meteorology jokes; the two things you need to make snow; breaking down the unique weather systems that determine snowfall for the Cottonwoods, Mt. Baker, Keystone, Tahoe, the Great Lakes, and northern Vermont; how wind impacts snow quality; and America's snowiest places.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewThe image in the “About OpenSnow” section above distills the benefits of the paid subscription tier succinctly: to tap the service's best features, you need to pay. It's worth it. I subscribed long before our partnership, and I continue to.But OpenSnow wasn't always so arranged. For years, Gratz and his team lived on advertising. At some point, they activated a paywall to access certain features, but much of the site remained free.That changed last year, when OpenSnow migrated the majority of its content to its paid tier. Gratz explains why in the podcast, but this business decision resonated with me for obvious reasons. To remain relevant and useful, most digital ski-focused media platforms require an intense and consistent focus. That requires time, energy, passion, and commitment – all attributes that our capitalist society has deemed worth paying for in the form of labor. Labor, we decided a long time ago, cannot be free. Thus, products produced with labor – and media is a product – require a pricetag to access.This is easier to understand when you're purchasing a toaster or a car than when you're buying access to a podcast or a snow forecast. It helps to remember that, in the scope of history, the internet is still pretty new. I grew up without it, and I'm not that old. We're still figuring out how to price the considerable volume of information that we find there. Most of it, I'll admit, is worthless, but some of it is worth quite a bit. But several generations of Americans arrived at the internet with the understanding that it was a frivolous add-on, a place to waste time and get in trouble, a soul vacuum that was the domain of creeps and morons. They have a hard time acknowledging the evolution of the web into a utility, an essential pipeline of connection and information, a place of intangible things with tangible value.That was the challenge OpenSnow faced in finding a path to long-term sustainability. And it is the challenge I face with The Storm. I did it for free for as long as I could. The first 2,076 hours of labor were on me. Then I asked for money. The transition went beyond my expectations. Hundreds of people upgraded their subscriptions right away, and hundreds more have upgraded since. New paid subscribers join just about every day. The Storm is now a sustainable operation. And so, having made the same decision – on a much larger scale – is OpenSnow.I'm sure you've read about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a rat's nest of floating plastic refuse covering more than 600,000-square-miles of the Pacific Ocean. Most of its contents are microplastics – the smashed-up bits of water bottles and medicine containers and candy-bar wrappers. You just know that floating somewhere in there is a Yeti cooler and fully intact G.I. Joe hovercraft (I keep waiting for Disney to release: Toy Story: Tales of the Garbage Patch, featuring a scrappy band of discarded toys who A-Team their way back to the mainland), but most of it is useless garbage.The internet is a lot like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch: an unfathomable well of junk, sprinkled with a few treasures. There's a reason I occasionally step out of my ski-area-manager lane to interview journalists or individuals running ski-related websites: I want to help you find the G.I. Joe Killer W.H.A.L.E.s, the things worth scooping out of the water and taking home.Why you should use OpenSnowWhile OpenSnow is a Storm advertising partner, this podcast was not part of, and is not related to, that partnership. OpenSnow did not have any editorial input into the content or editing of this podcast - which is true of any guest on any episode. I don't do sponsored content. The Storm is independent ski media, based on reporting and independently verified facts - any opinion is synthesized through that lens, as it is with any good journalism outlet.That said, it's a great service, and one that I use every day of the winter – that's why I partnered with them. And part of our partnership is this special link where you can get two free months of OpenSnow. So you should probably take advantage of that so they want to keep working with me:Podcast NotesJoel references Baker's record snowfall year – it was 1,140 inches from 1998 to '99. You can read about that and some other big snow totals here.The Storm publishes year-round, and guarantees 100 articles per year.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is not hyperbole. It's not just some small island composed of plastic bottles. It's more than 220 million pounds of trash and it's three times the size of France. It's a pretty big mess but a non-profit organization is continuing to advance plans to clean it up.The Ocean Cleanup, the benevolent minds behind the Trashfence, just released a new video detailing the latest iteration of their strategy for making the Garbage Patch go away. The organization has already successfully tested its System 2 operation but it began transitioning away from System 2 in July and plans to keep gradually increasing the size and capacity of its garbage collection operation. That, in turn, will make cleaning up the Garbage Patch a more cost-efficient process.System 3 is three times the size of its predecessor, with a span of about a mile and a half between the two lead vessels pulling a massive net to catch the trash. That plastic waste funnels back toward a retention zone that can hold up to 55,000 pounds of garbage. Once it's full, a third vessel pulls the retention zone out of the water and loads the trash into shipping containers that are dropped off back on shore.To optimize trash collection, System 3 uses drones to patrol the areas around the vessels and pinpoint garbage hotspots within the Patch. The organization said it also uses computational modeling to help predict the location of trash hotspots, which are formed by the ocean's circulating currents.

The world's oceans contain five gyres, which are large systems of circular currents created by global wind patterns and the Earth's rotation.   Gyres act like gigantic whirlpools.  Anything that floats into one of them eventually ends up in the center.   Ever since floating plastic waste started entering the ocean, it has poured into these gyres […]

Building The World's Largest Animal Crossing Outside of LA There's a spot on Highway 101 in Agoura Hills, it's pretty inconspicuous. There's brown and green rolling hills on either side of the highway. Homes are sprinkled here and there. And then a small metal gate that leads off on a hiking trail. You probably wouldn't know it, but soon this spot will be the location of the world's largest animal crossing. This crossing will reconnect habitats that have been cut off from each other for three quarters of a century and it'll do it over a highway that is constantly buzzing with cars — 300,000 pass by this spot every single day. In this piece we're going on a geography voyage — from the north side of the highway to the south, and up the hills, above the highway, to get the real view. We'll start here — there's a big open space on the northern side of the highway. It's at the entrance to Liberty Canyon and where I meet Beth Pratt. “You have oak trees, a little creek area here. And we're listening to, actually, an Anna's hummingbird giving a little song for us that is actually resonating even over that, that noise of traffic,” Pratt said. She is the California Regional Director for the National Wildlife Federation. “For me what's kind of remarkable, but also sad. It's the last sixteen hundred feet of protected space on both sides of the freeway,” said Pratt. Read the rest on sciencefriday.com.   Life Has Found A Way On The Great Pacific Garbage Patch The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a huge collection of trash floating in the North Pacific Ocean. It's made up mostly of plastic—things like water bottles, shoes, and fishing gear, but also a large amount of microplastics, tiny bits of broken-down plastic that can be invisible to the naked eye. A giant, swirling patch of trash seems bad. But recent research has revealed a complicating factor: Marine life has colonized the garbage patch, making the floating plastic their new homes. As the classic Jurassic Park quote goes, “Life finds a way.” Joining Ira to talk about life on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is Linsey Haram, AAAS fellow at the U.S. Department of Agriculture based in Alexandria, Virginia. Her research on the Garbage Patch was done for the Smithsonian.   Enzymes Are Taking On Our Plastic Problem Flip over a plastic water bottle, or a takeout container, and it's very likely you'll find the number “1” stamped on the bottom. This is the sign of the problematic plastic PET, which is a large source for plastic pollution. It's estimated that only a third or less of this type of plastic is recycled into something new. Scientists are getting creative in trying to outsmart plastics that don't want to be recycled. Some are looking into enzymes that can break down plastic into its more basic molecular building blocks. The idea is that these smaller molecules are easier to turn into new things, making upcycling an easier task. Joining Ira to talk about the frontier of enzymes as recycling powerhouses is Jennifer DuBois, professor of chemistry at Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana.   Indigenous Knowledge Is Central To Climate Solutions As the United States observes Earth Day this year, many will be thinking about their personal relationship with—and responsibility to—the planet. But in an era of multiple planetary crises, including extinctions, global warming, and contaminated water, what about the Indigenous peoples whose millennia-old relationship with their land has been disrupted and sometimes severed by colonialism and other displacements? Indigenous environmental scientist and author Jessica Hernandez talks to Ira about the harms the Western science has perpetuated against colonized people, as white environmentalists created national parks on Indigenous lands and “helicopter scientists” continue to do research in the global south while using the wealth of Western institutions. And she explains why greater recognition of Indigenous science, and partnerships that center Indigenous peoples and their research questions, is good for the entire planet.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.    

Finding an abandoned ship in the Garbage Patch, interview with Andy Schell

My AP Biology Thoughts  Unit 8 Ecology EPISODE TITLE: Pacific Garbage Patch and Its Impacts on WildlifeWelcome to My AP Biology Thoughts podcast, my name is Angelina and my name is Emily and we are your hosts for the Unit 8 Ecology podcast on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and Its Impacts on Wildlife. Today we will be discussing the Garbage Patch's harmful effects on aquatic life and how it relates to the AP Biology Curriculum.  https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/great-pacific-garbage-patch/ (https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/great-pacific-garbage-patch/)  Segment 1: Overview of Pacific Garbage Patch and Its Impacts on WildlifeBackground info:  The patch is a vortex of plastic waste and debris which is very calm and stable but surrounded by four currents that sweep debris into the center  Two distinct collections of debris, the Western and Eastern Garbage Patches  Pacific: Garbage is spun and linked together by the North Pacific Subtropical Convergence Zone, where warm water ( South ) meets cool water ( Arctic ) Much of the debris is not biodegradable and has taken a significant toll on the aquatic wildlife  Most of the debris is plastic, which is not biodegradable but rather breaks down into microplastic particles Segment 2: Evidence that supports how the Patch Harms Wildlifehttps://theoceancleanup.com/great-pacific-garbage-patch/ (https://theoceancleanup.com/great-pacific-garbage-patch/)  According to National Geographic, oceanographers and ecologists discovered that about 70% of marine debris sinks to the ocean floor, so the patch may also be an underwater heap of trash  Marine debris is known to be harmful to wildlife  Ex: Loggerhead sea turtles often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish  Ex: Albatrosses mistake plastic pellets for eggs and feed them to their chicks, which then die of starvation or ruptured organs  Ex: Seals and other animals get entangled in abandoned nets and other waste  hear about turtles a lot because of many companies movements to stop using straws, but we dont always hear about the other species being affected so it is definitely important to learn about these organisms as well BIG ONE: Marine debris can disturb marine food webs As microplastics collect near the ocean's surface, they block sunlight which prevents plankton and algae to grow  Many organisms depend on these producers for food Since they are at the foundational levels of the food web, when they are negatively impacted, the whole web is as well  Segment 3: Connection to the CourseEnergy flow: Affects all wildlife (trophic structure) Kills species, leaving less energy in ecosystem If organisms consume garbage, the organisms feeding on them will be indirectly feeding on garbage Bioaccumulation Impacts humans as well We should all do little things to help the environment Thank you for listening to this episode of My AP Biology Thoughts. For more student-ran podcasts and digital content, make sure that you visit http://www.hvspn.com (www.hvspn.com).  Music Credits:"Ice Flow" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Subscribe to our Podcasthttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/my-ap-biology-thoughts/id1549942575 (Apple Podcasts) https://open.spotify.com/show/1nH8Ft9c9f6dmo75V9imCk (Spotify) https://podcasts.google.com/search/my%20ap%20biology%20thoughts (Google Podcasts )   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC07e_nBHLyc_nyvjF6z-DVg (YouTube)   Connect with us on Social MediaTwitterhttps://twitter.com/thehvspn ( @thehvspn)

What are we tossing into the Ocean. Let's talk about the Great Garbage Patches.

Etwas ändert sich. Wir treffen unsere Gäste nun im Netz. Aktivistin Jennifer Timrott spricht zu uns aus Süderlügum in Nordfriesland. Ozeanexperte Ivan Murillo-Conde stammt aus Kolumbien und arbeitet in Kiel. Gemeinsam sprechen wir via StudioLink über ein Thema, was uns, Dieter Bethke als Ideengeber sowie Rechercheuse Daniela Mett, Ende November während der internationalen Woche zur Abfallvermeidung bewegt hat: Plastik. Unmengen an Plastik, die im Meer und anderswo Jahrhunderte vor sich hin rotten, ohne jemals komplett zu vergehen.

Did you know there's an 80 year disaster going on in Pennsylvania? Did you also know we eat a credit card of plastic every week? The Wiki boys sift through the garbage of humanity- first by getting filthy in the small town of Centralia, PA then by swimming through the muck of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.   

In this week's episode, we are talking about an on-going disaster, the Great Pacific garbage patch. A floating mass of garbage in the ocean that is more than TWICE the size of Texas. Let's learn, get bummed out, and do our best to reduce, reuse, and recycle.Instagram: disastrouspodcastTwitter: disastrouspodCWebsite: disastrouspodcast.com 

Our society’s recklessness and disregard seems to be making the Earth less hospitable to our society, so James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana take a look at the accelerating destruction of, and increasing threats to, our habitat (01:21) and discuss ways that societies can make preserving the planet we live on more of a priority (32:55).

Ens referim avui al pa

Il Garbage Patch State, scientificamente definito Pacific Trash Vortex, è lo stato fondato dall’artista italiana Maria Cristina Finucci nell’aprile del 2013. Caratteristica unica di questo stato, situato nell’Oceano Pacifico, è quella di essere composto interamente di rifiuti (soprattutto plastica), galleggianti sulla superficie dell’acqua. Creatosi più o meno a partire dagli anni ‘70/’80 questo “arcipelago” deve la sua esistenza alla lentissima degradabilità della plastica e di altri materiali derivanti dai carbonfossili, materiali con una durabilità plurimillenaria e da noi utilizzati una sola volta e subito gettati. Il G.P.S ci fornirà dunque l’occasione di parlare di processi cumulativi e di gestione dei rifiuti, di società consumistica e quindi improntata all’usa e getta, e per contro della necessità di un modello di decrescita tendente ad una società a “rifiuti zero” e “carbon free”.
