Send us a textIn this episode of Shoreside, host Nicholas Magno explores the uncertain future of Eagle Island, a fragile stretch of wetlands that connects Wilmington to Belville, North Carolina. Once central to rice cultivation and shipbuilding, the island now sits at the intersection of climate vulnerability and development pressure. With sea levels rising and ghost forests replacing hardwood swamps, half a billion dollars' worth of infrastructure in New Hanover County may be at risk by 2030.We talk with Roger Shew, senior lecturer in Earth and Ocean Sciences at UNC Wilmington, who outlines the impact of dredging, saltwater intrusion, and misguided development proposals on the area. Shew also shares a vision for Eagle Island rooted in resilience—transforming it into an ecotourism and education hub that respects its history and its delicate ecosystem.From shifting grasses to six-story hotel proposals, this episode reveals why what happens to Eagle Island is about more than just a patch of land—it's about how we live with water in a changing world.We found this 2021 report by NC State University Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning to be a good read about Eagle Island.Support the showwww.shoresides.org
In this episode, Emily interviews Garrett Dunne, a 5th-year PhD candidate in the College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Realizing that they were being dramatically underpaid, Garrett and his peers used the data from PhD Stipends to advocate for a significant stipend increase in their department. Subsequently, they joined up with grad students in other schools within the University of Alaska system to unionize and bargain for better pay and health insurance. Garrett's account of their relatively quick process includes several concrete tips for graduate students at other universities who are advocating to increase their stipends and improve their benefits, including who is in the best position to lead the charge.

Watching documentaries about the Titanic inspired deep-sea microbiologist Beth Orcutt to study life at the bottom of the ocean - a world of ‘towering chimneys, weird shrimp and octopus nurseries' that she has visited 35 times.But Orcutt says there is so much we still don't know about the deep sea, which is a problem for the sustainable development of this environment. Orcutt works at Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in Boothbay, Maine, where her research helps to understand how deep-sea mining might impact unique ocean communities.Research on similarly destructive activities, such as deep-sea trawling, show decades-long recovery times for keystone species such as corals and sponges, or in some cases no recovery at all.Orcutt works through the Crustal Ocean Biosphere Research Accelerator (COBRA) project funded by the US National Science Foundation to bring academics, policymakers and science communicators together to accelerate research about the deep sea and translate that knowledge for decision makers.This is episode 14 of How to Save Humanity in 17 Goals, a Working Scientist series podcast that profiles scientists whose work addresses one or more of the SDGs. Orcutt's work addresses Sustainable Development Goal number 14: to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine sources.Episodes 13–18 are produced in partnership with Nature Sustainability, and introduced by Monica Contestabile, its chief editor.This episode ends with a sponsored slot from La Trobe Institute for Sustainable Agriculture and Food in Melbourne, Australia, where we hear about how its researchers are focusing on the SDGs and the university's holistic approach to food security.

Part 1:We talk with Melissa Gira Grant about the strict anti-abortion laws passed in Texas. These are aimed at controlling women, even paying bounties to anyone, including people outside Texas, who can accuse a woman of having, or even seeking an abortion. The goal is to intimidate women and those who help them. It givers abusers yet another method to intimidate and injure women. Part 2:We talk with Predro DiNezio, Associate Prof. of Atmospheric and Ocean Sciences.We discuss the role of El Nino, and La Nina in the formation of hurricanes, and the likelihood of the increase in the number and power of hurricanes. Combined with higher sea levels already in place, the intensity and effects of storms and storm surges are likely to be greater than ever before. What should we be prepared for?

The elephant seals are back! The elephant seals have made their annual trip back to the California Coast! During the winter months, Elephant Seals turn to love...and fighting... and feeding... and laying around in the sun and rain. This is the prime viewing season at Año Nuevo State Park and Point Reyes National Seashore, where you can watch the two-ton male seals fight bloody battles over the females, the females feeding their large and growing pups, and listen to the odd noises they produce (although they probably think humans make strange noises). This is a rebroadcast of a 2022 interview with Dr. Theresa Keates, who holds a UCSC PhD in Ocean Sciences and is currently a Legislative Analyst with the California Energy Commission. Keates' dissertation research centered on deploying oceanographic tags on elephant seals, which offer both a source of valuable oceanographic data from remote regions as well as a unique platform to investigate these very large marine mammals.

Alaina Weinheimer is a postdoctoral fellow at the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences where she examines how bacteria fight viruses in the ocean. She is particularly interested in jumbo phages, which are phages with really large genomes (> 200 kb). Until recently, they have been largely overlooked in both culture-based and sequencing studies due to their unusually large size that rivals bacteria! While pursuing her bachelor's degree in Biology at Penn State, Alaina worked in coral reef ecology labs where she was exposed to the numerous threats to coral and the potential roles of microbes and viruses in mediating or exacerbating these threats. Alaina was a 5 Minute Genius™ speaker for the 2023 Maine Science Festival; you can watch her talk on our YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/9GGe6kZfTHI?si=jcD4QnGj8GticN_JOur conversation was recorded in June 2023.~~~~~~The Maine Science Podcast is a production of the Maine Discovery Museum.

Join William Padilla-Brown as we discuss the fascinating relationship between truffles and mammals, and how this connection may have played a key role in the evolution of intelligent life on Earth.It's possible that after the extinction event, which wiped out the dinosaurs, truffles were a vital food source for surviving mammals with their high nutritional content and unique chemical composition. In fact, researchers suggest that truffles may have been one of the first foods that triggered the part of the neural system responsible for learning and memory, which in turn may have led to increased cognitive function and the evolution of more intelligent mammals.In addition to the incredible history of truffles, William will also discuss the different types of truffles, their distribution, and their unique culinary and cultural significance. There is great economic and ecological potential with truffle cultivation for many local communities. William Padilla-Brown is a Multidisciplinary Citizen Scientist practicing social science, mycology, phycology, molecular biology, and additive manufacturing. William founded and is the current CEO of MycoSymbiotics, a permaculture research and production business based in Central Pennsylvania focused on innovative, practical applied biological science.

A Supermassive Black Hole The Mass Of 30 Billion Suns This week, astronomers reported that they may have found signs of one of the largest black holes ever detected–a space behemoth the mass of some 30 billion suns. The supermassive black hole, located in part of the Abell 1201 galaxy cluster, was detected using a combination of gravitational lensing and supercomputer simulations. First, the astronomers observed how the images of other more distant objects viewed by the Hubble Space Telescope were warped by the vast gravitational well produced by the black hole. They compared those images to thousands of simulations created via a supercomputer, and found that a simulation containing a supermassive black hole matched the real-world images. The work was reported in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Umair Irfan, staff writer at Vox, joins SciFri's Kathleen Davis to talk about the finding and other stories from the week in science, including the FDA's approval of over-the-counter Narcan, the real-world challenges of EV charging, and the creation of a meatball–made of mammoth. What's Driving A Rise In Mumps Cases In The United States? In 1971, the United States rolled out a revolutionary new vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella. The MMR vaccine nearly eradicated all three of those viruses by the start of the 21st century. Over the last several years, there have been numerous measles outbreaks cropping up across the country, especially among unvaccinated kids. What about mumps—that second “m” in the MMR vaccine? Since 2006, there have been mumps outbreaks too. But unlike measles, most of the people getting the mumps are vaccinated. And they're older too, mostly teens and young adults. New research suggests that the efficacy of the mumps vaccine wanes over time, unlike the ones for measles and rubella. Guest host Shahla Farzan talks with Dr. Deven Gokhale, co-author of a recent study on the reemergence of mumps. Gokhale recently completed his PhD from the University of Georgia's Odum School of Ecology, based in Athens Georgia. Foundational Food Sources In The Gulf Of Maine Are Failing At the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, researchers Barney Balch and Catherine Mitchell are looking at a map affixed to a large table. “We're looking at a chart of the Gulf of Maine, and right across the middle there's a line that's drawn from Portland, in Maine, to Yarmouth, in Nova Scotia,” Mitchell says. That line is the route along which Bigelow researchers have been taking regular measurements for the last 25 years. They've analyzed chemical and temperature data that help describe how the waters of the gulf are changing. One tool they use is a six-foot long cylinder with wings. “This is an autonomous underwater vehicle, or a glider,” Mitchell says. “So it's a big robot that moves up and down in a yoyo-like pattern, from the top of the ocean to the bottom of the ocean right across the middle of the Gulf of Maine. So it's measuring a bunch of science things as it goes. It looks a bit like a big yellow torpedo. It's got some wings on it.” Read the rest at sciencefriday.com. Is Spring Falling Out Of Sync? Each year, it feels like spring comes as a surprise—too early or too late. For example, new maps reveal that spring is 13 days late in Sacramento, California but two weeks early in Richmond, Virginia. And that could be a problem because plants and animals use environmental cues, like temperature, to know when to flower, migrate, breed, or emerge from hibernation. So when the seasons are thrown off, what happens to those natural rhythms that once flowed together seamlessly? Guest host Shahla Farzan talks with Dr. David Inouye, professor emeritus at the University of Maryland and a researcher at the Rocky Mountain Biological Station, and Dr. Theresa Crimmins, director of the USA National Phenology Network and research professor at the University of Arizona. They discuss the variability in seasons, and the cascade of effects these changes can have on ecosystems. Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
Martin MacPhail is a special one. His ability to immediately connect with people is a rare talent—one of many that he possesses. He's been a lifelong musician and after starting indie rock band Theset with his friends & touring cities, they landed a record deal and moved to Toronto. A record release and band changes later, the group morphed into Juno award-winning Blitz Berlin with Martin, Dean Rode & Tristan Tarr. Together, they now compose music for film, television shows, and trailers, including Top Gun Maverick, House of the Dragon, Bird Box, The Girl on the Train, Blade Runner 2036, and more.He was born and raised in Victoria, a place that instilled a profound love for nature in him. His mother worked at the Institute of Ocean Sciences, before becoming a stay-at-home mom—she was also instrumental in Martin's love for sound, enrolling him in a ‘Music for Wee Folk' program as a toddler. His father has a passion for astronomy & paleontology, often taking the family on fossil bed trips. Martin and his brother also grew up practicing a martial art called aikido (which, wonderfully, is how his parents once met). After high school, he studied physics & astronomy, before leaving it behind to dedicate himself to music. A lucky break led Martin, Dean and Tristan to scoring their first film as Blitz Berlin. The trio moved to Los Angeles in 2018 to be closer to the film & TV industry, finding a clever way to connect with the right people. Martin now splits his time between Vancouver & LA. In this conversation, we explore aikido philosophy & how it helped develop his moral structure; nature informing his perspective & his preference for mystery; the process of creating a score; how the industry works these days & finding success as a musician; the connection between his love for astronomy & his work as a composer; his love letter to music; and much more.

Dr. Spinrad is responsible for the strategic direction and oversight of the agency and its over 12,000 employees, including developing NOAA's portfolio of products and services to address the climate crisis, enhancing environmental sustainability and fostering economic development, and creating a more just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive NOAA workforce. Most recently, Dr. Spinrad served as a Professor of Oceanography and Senior Adviser to the Vice President of Research at Oregon State University (OSU). He was also Vice President for Research at OSU from 2010-2014. Dr. Spinrad served as NOAA's Chief Scientist under President Barack Obama from 2014 until 2016. He also led NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research and National Ocean Service from 2003-2010. While at NOAA, Dr. Spinrad co-led the White House Committee that developed the nation's first set of ocean research priorities and oversaw the revamping of NOAA's research enterprise, including the development of the agency's Scientific Integrity policy. Prior to initially joining NOAA, Dr. Spinrad held leadership positions at the U.S. Office of Naval Research and Oceanographer of the Navy, where he was awarded the Distinguished Civilian Service Award — the highest award given by the U.S. Navy to a civilian. He has held faculty appointments at OSU, the U.S. Naval Academy, and George Mason University; served as Executive Director at the Consortium for Oceanographic Research and Education; was President of Sea Tech, Inc.; and worked as a research scientist at OSU and the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences.

Dr. Spinrad received his B.A. in Earth and Planetary Sciences from The Johns Hopkins University, and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Oceanography from Oregon State University. Highlights from the Show NOAA has been around in various forms since 1802, when President Thomas Jefferson setup a survey of the coast to understand the risks to shipping, coastal communities and more, and it was President Nixon who established NOAA by brining together the various environmental intelligence organizations In the late 20th and early 21st century, NOAA added advanced capabilities and tools like satellites Today, NOAA is an almost $7B agency with over 12,000 people (which only costs about $0.06 a day per taxpayer) Lives, Livelihoods and Lifestyles are all impacted by weather and ability to forecast what will happen with it to know what its impact will be and how we can respond In inflation adjusted numbers, in the 1980s, there were 82 days between $1B disasters or worse; today, it's 18 days There were 21 billion-plus-dollar disasters, and we're at 9 now (early August) Hurricane Ida last year brought $30-40B in losses, and this isn't an anomaly anymore They rolled out the heat.gov website that could help insurers and reinsurers in looking at the forecasted impacts of heat on health and other factors around the country The hazards aren't new – floods, draughts, hurricanes, etc – but we're putting so much more energy into the system, which is resulting in unprecedented scale of these hazards In the last 30-40 years, we've been adding the equivalent of 2 Hiroshima atomic bombs worth of energy into the oceans every second They're now understanding the teleconnections, meaning the impact of weather activity in one part of the world's impact on the activity in another, like weather events in Australia and how that ties to weather events in New England One of the ways insurance companies can engage with NOAA on this is to think about what kind of forecasting and predictions are most helpful, like the timeframe we'd need to see data for There's a lot of value in talking about the future of insurance and prediction, and Insurance is a sophisticated participant in that conversation Government has responsibilities to say where people can't build (for example) From there, it's up to the market to decide the cost of risk where we can build, which means insurers understanding and pricing that risk The impact of Climate Change is a foregone conclusion at this point, and the science has gotten so good that it can tell you exactly what impact you'll see by when (like 10-12 inches of sea level rise in Norfolk, VA by 2050) Rather than giving up, we need to think about what we can do to adapt and protect given that fact, while we have time to mitigate Dr. Spinrad did this himself with a prior home he had in Oregan that didn't have a fire exposure initially, but did over time, so he cut back brush and trees to reduce the risk Part of NOAA's responsibility is around communication, and being the authority to turn to so people know who to trust for clear, actionable information, like going to the top doctor for a second opinion Get involved and collaborate with NOAA at climate.gov This episode is brought to you by Ecopia (ecopia.ai) and The Future of Insurance thought leadership series (future-of-insurance.com) from Bryan Falchuk.

As part of Science Week, a research group from NUI Galway will host the event, ‘Plastic Recycling in Ireland – How to improve plastic recycling together’. This event will focus on the fate of plastic after it has been used and how we can improve plastic recycling as users. It takes place today (Thursday, 12 November) at 5 pm and is free and open to the public. The Innovative Energy Technologies for Biofuels, Bioenergy and Sustainable Irish Bioeconomy (IETSBIO3) is an international research group led by Professor Piet Lens at NUI Galway. The group’s focus is on novel technologies for alternative fuels and renewable commodities from waste and wastewater treatment. Ireland is one of the biggest producers of plastic waste in the EU per inhabitant. Often, recyclable plastic ends up in the general waste bin or non-recyclable products are mixed within the recycling bin. Or even worse, plastic ends up on the streets, in rivers and the ocean. The event will feature presentations from professionals from industry, academia and society, followed by an open discussion where contribution is invaluable and all questions and suggestions for improving plastic recycling skills are encouraged. Presentations will be made by: Liam Dunne, General Manager, Panda Group will discuss – Domestic Recycling in Ireland. It will cover what happens to your plastic when it has been collected for recycling; how plastic is collected and then separated, and the most common problems of incorrect disposal and how this affects the recycling process; the measurements that Panda Group is taking to improve recycling practices. Dr Liam Morrison, Earth and Ocean Sciences, Ryan Institute, NUI Galway will discuss – To flush or not to flush – wet wipes as a source of microplastic in the ocean. This presentation will focus on white microplastics fibres in the marine environment from the inappropriate disposal of sanitary products in Ireland. Sediments adjacent to a wastewater treatment plant in Galway City are consistently strewn with white microplastic fibres that are comparable to those from commercially available consumer sanitary products (wet wipes and sanitary towels). Increased public awareness of microplastic pollution is required and human behaviour should shift away from the inapt disposal of sanitary products down the toilet. Michele Hallahan – Advisor to the Office of the Provost, TCD will discuss – The evolution of behaviour regarding recycling of plastics. It will focus on sustainability, based on the experience of the speaker, how the behaviour of the people has evolved in the last few years in Ireland. As well as a short overview about some of the programmes carried out to promote and improve plastic recycling skills. And in Michele’s opinion how we can improve it at home day by day. Professor Lens’ group at NUI Galway aims to achieve more environmentally friendly technologies and is working to further develop sustainable practices in Ireland at all levels, such as households, education, industries, and policy. By sharing the specific knowledge of different stakeholders it will help towards achieving a zero-waste and circular economy approach to environmental concerns. The group is funded by Science Foundation Ireland and is part of MaREI and the Ryan Institute at NUI Galway. To join the event on MS Teams, logon to
