At 120-feet long, and holding 36,000 gallons of water, the Scripps Ocean-Atmosphere Research Simulator (SOARS) is a unique facility at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. SOARS is much more than a wave generator, it allows scientists to replicate ocean conditions, including wind, waves, water chemistry, temperature, and light, in a controlled environment. By simulating ocean environments in a controlled laboratory setting, researchers are able to study ocean-atmosphere interactions, climate change, and more. Scripps Institution of Oceanography Lead Engineer Douglas Alden and Researcher Grant Deane give an inside look on how scientists are able to study how human activities are changing the ocean and atmosphere, and how these changes impact global climate and other areas like human health and marine life protection.

Perhaps the most famous example of observed evolution in a species is that of the Peppered Moth, which largely turned black in some English cities during the Industrial Revolution so as to use soot-covered trees as camouflage, and then turned back to their natural grey colour upon the advent of cleaner fuels.This demonstrates natural selection, but it also shows the impact of human activity on the species around us, and that impact has only increased and intensified in the 21st century…Patrick Greenfield is a Biodiversity and Environment Reporter for the Guardian and the Observer who has been writing about this. He joins Seán to discuss.

(Sep 11, 2024) The Adirondacks' master plan calls for research into how much human activity can damage delicate lakes and ponds. But that scientific work has never been done. There's growing pressure on the DEC to finally conduct "carrying capacity" studies for the Adirondacks' water bodies. Also: North Country Congresswoman Elise Stefanik clashed with former Governor Andrew Cuomo in a hearing yesterday over nursing homes during the COVID pandemic.

From the way we catch food, to how we generate energy, human activity inevitably impacts on wildlife and the environment in unintended ways. So this week we're looking at ways to reduce this collateral damage. We visit a windfarm in Finland that's using AI to predict bird flight paths and stop individual turbines before they cause damage. And we join some fishermen in Cyprus, who are using special green lights to warn turtles away from their nets.Presenter: Myra Anubi Producer/Cyprus reporter: Claire Bates Finland reporter: Erika Benke Editor: Jon Bithrey Sound mix: Hal Haines

A lot of people insist Red Tide is a naturally occurring phenomenon that has been around for thousands of years. Period. And the link between human activity and the increasing length and intensity of Red Tide has not been exactly at the forefront of interest by the State of Florida. But now, a scientist in Sarasota and four colleagues are making a dent in the armor of silence around Red Tide and human activity. Our news team has more on that. Then: There was a memorial service in a Sarasota neighborhood this Sunday for the victims of what some call a massacre. The cutting of more than 100 trees by New College, that is. Tyler Oldano has that story. Next: City of Sarasota commissioners are providing full support for one of their own who is subject to a lawsuit by a resident who says she was defamed by Commissioner Kyle Battie. Ramon Lopez reports. Finally: The US Supreme Court's Monday ruling on presidential immunity is making ripples in Florida. A law professor at Stetson College in St. Petersburg called it "earth shattering". We're going to play excerpts of an interview she gave to partner station WMNF.

AI can be used for unsavory things, like any technology. But researchers at the nonprofit Global Fishing Watch have revealed a promising use case — enlisting AI to accurately track human activity on the oceans, according to its new study published in the journal Nature. There’s a lot out there that has long floated under the radar of monitoring systems, including the so-called dark fleets involved in illegal and unregulated fishing. Marketplace’s Lily Jamali spoke with David Kroodsma, director of research and innovation at Global Fishing Watch, about the group’s work.

Top headlines for Friday, November 3, 2023In this episode, we start by discussing the lawsuit Texas has filed against Planned Parenthood, alleging a $1.8 billion fraud of the state's Medicaid program. We then transition to the divisive topic of homosexuality in the United Methodist Church, which has led close to 100 Ohio congregations to separate from the denomination. From church controversies, we move to the medical field, where a Finnish psychiatrist is challenging the decision-making surrounding surgeries for trans-identified minors in the US. Lastly, we delve into archaeological science with researchers claiming to have found evidence of ancient human activity—and possibly a hint to the location of Noah's Ark—in remote Eastern Turkey.Subscribe to this Podcast Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Overcast Follow Us on Social Media @ChristianPost on Twitter Christian Post on Facebook @ChristianPostIntl on Instagram Subscribe on YouTube Get the Edifi App Download for iPhone Download for Android Subscribe to Our Newsletter Subscribe to the Freedom Post, delivered every Monday and Thursday Click here to get the top headlines delivered to your inbox every morning!

With MIT scientists fron the Navajo Nation, ALVIN HARVEY described the differences between the two MIT's (yes, there are two!), what it means to be in relationship with space? "space justice," how space is alive, remembering not to do donuts on Mars, how relationships cannot be destroyed but renewed, and how humans are really not as disconnected from space as we may think. Remember, any support from the "Ancestral Podcast MERCH" www.relationalsciencecircle.com/shop helps pay Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and our editors, to follow protocols and keep this podcast going. SHOWNOTES: - think about what it means to go away from your home? to go to University, college, or away for a job. How does this change you? Can those changes, or scars become armour? -Think about what happens when you are forced from your home, homeland, community, plant medicines, teachings, and how significant those wounds and scars can be? - humility and mistakes: how much room do you leave for those? to learn and grow from them? -part of this is to remember and acknowledge your helpers- these can be people, gifts, medicines, trees, animals, etc. that have helped guide you on your journey. Because this journey is difficult, and we cannot do it alone. Space Justice: How do we travel to space in a good way? -"Blending science & tradition: sharing remote sensing technologies with Indigenous communities and their land" (article) https://www.nasa.gov/feature/blending-science-and-tradition-sharing-remote-sensing-technologies-with-indigenous - The Settler Logics of (outer) Space: https://www.societyandspace.org/articles/the-settler-logics-of-outer-space - Dr John Harrington: Indigenous and Anti-Colonial Views of Human Activity in Space. https://www.media.mit.edu/events/panel-discussion-with-dr-john-herrington-indigenous-view-of-human-activity-in-space/ - Indigenous & Anticolonial Views of Human Activity in Space. https://www.media.mit.edu/events/mit-anti-colonialism-seminar-series-panel-discussion-with/ - IRM and the Science of Being Off-Earth. https://irc.skc.edu/colloquium-day-3/ - Thinking about tribal sovereignty, space justice, and peace-making- disconnecting community from space and the consequences of not connecting. - what is your relationship with Space?

In today's episode we continue our series on the early peopling of the Americas, focusing on the paradigm shifting Cerutti Mastadon find, and its multitude of implications. Joining us today is a dynamic husband and wife team, Steven and Kathleen Holen. Steven Holen is the Director of Research at the Center for American Paleolithic Research. He has over 50 years of archaeological experience and has worked at several museums across the Great Plains. For the past 30 years, he has focused his research on the question of how and when humans first arrived in North America. He has excavated numerous mammoth sites in the Great Plains that have evidence of humans modifying mammoth limb bones for marrow extraction and/or tool production. The evidence he has uncovered suggests that humans have been in the Great Plains for at least 30,000 to 40,000 years. Kathleen Holen has pursued her second career in Archeology and received her MA in Archaeology with Distinction in 2009 from the University of Exeter. Her first career was as a Nurse Practitioner and she retired from that profession in 2010 to pursue archaeology. Kathleen founded the Center for American Paleolithic Research in 2012 and continues as the Administrative Director. Kathleen participated in the research of Steven Holen since their marriage in 2001. She studies prey animal bone modification and its implications for human behaviour, expedient bone tool manufacture and use, cognitive archaeology, and the archaeological importance of dog domestication. Together they continue to investigate early human migration into the Americas and have published two book chapters that provide evidence of some of the earliest humans in North America based on their mammoth bone research. Most recently they have published an article with nine co-authors titled, “A 130,000-year-old archaeological site in southern California, USA” in the prestigious journal Nature, the leading scientific journal in the world. They continue their research with an active field program and collections-based research in museums through the Center for American Paleolithic Research To learn more about the Holens and their work, please visit: Center for American Paleolithic Research: https://caprmammoth.org Nature Journal Article: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature22065.epdf?author_access_token=RSCU4SMOOjkevRWGleRiQNRgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0Odq55Wqltd4FPUqYwCTOB2lQCO5faqB4dJcP7_NvwjKIPtA_ca5VDGdykzKcb_19hzPfRLnzswmKKl7KnI0fcb

Physicists have traditionally simplified systems as much as possible, in order to shed light on fundamental properties. But small, simple parts build up into large, complex wholes. Are there new rules and laws of nature that apply specifically to the realm of complexity? This has been a popular question for a few decades now, and we have some answers but not as many as we would like. Neil Johnson is an expert on complex systems generally, and information networks in particular. We discuss how self-organization can arise from individual units following their own agendas, and how we can mathematically characterize such behavior. Then we talk about information networks in the modern world, including how they have been used to spread disinformation and find recruits for radical fringe groups.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Neil Johnson received his Ph.D. in physics from Harvard University. He is currently professor of physics at George Washington University, where he heads an initiative in Complexity and Data Science. In 1999 he presented the annual Christmas Lectures at the Royal Institution in London. He was the recipient of the Burton Award from the American Physical Society in 2018. Among his books are the textbook Financial Market Complexity and the trade book Simply Complexity.Web pageGoogle Scholar publicationsWikipediaAmazon author pageLecture on Complexity in Human Activity

66 million years ago, an asteroid caused Earth's Fifth Extinction, destroying the dinosaurs and most other life forms. Now Earth is facing another extinction, as fish, plants and animals vanish forever. But this time, it's not the asteroid, it's us.

In this episode, we hear from John Harte, Ph.D. and professor at University of California, Berkeley. Harte has studied the effects of climate change on our lives and our ecosystems in various habitats around the world. The science states quite clearly and unambiguously that the planet is warming at an unprecedented rate, and that these changes are due to human activity. Additionally, Harte describes a feedback effect in which the ecosystem responds to these changes in a way that actually exacerbates the problem.  Climate change threatens all of life on earth, yet denialists and political pressures are impeding our transition to more sustainable ways of living. Click play to hear Harte discuss global warming, the biggest culprits, and specific ways we can help reduce our impact.
