Podcasts about ocean leadership

Dr. Alan Leonardi is the president and CEO of the Consortium for Ocean Leadership (COL), which represents the leading ocean science, research, and technology organizations from academia, industry, and the larger nonprofit sector (to include philanthropy, associations, and aquariums) from around the United States. Prior to COL, he spent 18 years at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), most recently as director of the Office of Ocean Exploration and Research (OER). In this role, Dr. Leonardi oversaw and supported expeditionary exploration activities, which combined traditional at-sea exploration and science technologies, emerging advanced technologies such as autonomous maritime systems, and high-speed networks and infrastructure for live communications – including high-definition video of the seafloor – to scientists and other audiences ashore. At NOAA, he also served as acting director and deputy director of the Office of Policy, Planning, and Evaluation; manager for the Environmental Modeling Program; and deputy director of the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory. Dr. Leonardi has advanced ocean exploration, research, and technology through service on several councils and advisory boards, including as co-chair of the National Ocean Mapping, Exploration, and Characterization (NOMEC) Council and as a member of the Deep Ocean Stewardship Initiative (DOSI)Advisory Board, A Trans-AtLantic Assessment and deep-water ecosystem-based Spatial management plan for Europe (ATLAS), Integrated Assessment of Atlantic Marine Ecosystems in Space and Time (iAtlantic), and the Scientific Advisory Board that provided advice and guidance to the Shell Ocean Discovery XPRIZE. Dr. Leonardi received his master's and doctorate degrees in physical oceanography from Florida State University and his undergraduate degree in meteorology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

But the accelerating impacts of climate change will drive increasingly severe humanitarian crises, political instability and conflict, posing large negative consequences to human society which may never be undone. The Asia–Pacific region is considered to be “Disaster Alley” where some of the worst impacts will be experienced. Australia’s political, bureaucratic and corporate leaders are abrogating their fiduciary responsibilities and are ill-prepared for the real risks of climate change. In this striking new Breakthrough report we look at climate change and conflict issues through the lens of sensible risk-management to draw new conclusions about the challenge we now face.DOWNLOAD reportbreakthroughonline.org.au/disasteralleyGUARDIANhttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/jun/21/australia-warned-it-has-radically-underestimated-climate-change-security-threatSOCIAL MEDIAhttps://twitter.com/djspratt/status/877319859540901889https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10154494525095741EXTRACT “Climate change an accelerant to instability in unexpected ways”http://www.climatecodered.org/2017/06/climate-change-accelerant-to.html(more…) 19 Jun 2017|Categories: Community Show

What will it take to raise the awareness of the ocean amongst our legislators and voters? Hear Daniel J. Basta, director of the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, NOAA, and Mike Dunmyer, Executive Director of Ocean Champions share their ideas about this issue.

Dr. Ron O'Dor, Senior Scientist, Census of Marine Life, Consortium for Ocean Leadership, tells us about the first Census of Marine Life—a 10-year exploration carried out by scientists from 80 nations. It reveals what, where, and how much lives and hides in the world’s oceans. He’ll explain how the census was carried out and what it shows about life under water.
