World-first video footage of the elusive colossal squid has been captured by US researchers. It lives in the deep Antarctic waters, can reach up to seven metres in length, and weighs up to 500 kilograms. Schmidt Ocean Institute's remote drone filmed a baby colossal squid alive 600 metres down in its environment for the first time. AUT Associate Professor and squid expert Dr Kat Bolstad says this is a very 'exciting' development. "We've been studying these animals, we've known about them for a century - personally, I've been studying them for over 20 years." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The pictures made it look like a parody. Eleven minutes after taking off from a West Texas launch site, Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin space capsule touched down with its all-female celebrity crew. Bezos opened the capsule door and greeted his fiancé. One by one the women filed out, each in their snazzy blue, flared space outfits. Having technically been in space for just four minutes, the popstar Katy Perry knelt down and kissed the ground. I feel the same about space tourism as I do about climbing Mt Everest. In the broadest possible terms, the idea is really appealing. I'd love to go to space! But as it stands today, actually appreciating how much resource is involved, and the extent to which money rather than talent is the only thing separating anyone from the loftiest heights... I can't bear the thought. We all know Jeff Bezos isn't spending billions upon billions to push the boundaries of scientific understanding. He's going as a vanity project. It all feels a bit gross. Perhaps when space tourism is a little more normalised and they can achieve economies of scale, I'll quietly eat my words and find the whole thing a little more palatable. But for what it's worth, I'd hand my explorer-of-the-week award not to Katy Perry and Jeff Bezos' other half, but to the crew of the Schmidt Ocean Institute's Falkor vessel, who just captured the first ever footage of a colossal squid in its natural environment. Colossal squid are the largest invertebrates on the planet – 500kgs without a spine! And yet for all that science has achieved, we know remarkably little about them. It's only a century since the species was first discovered, and we know most of what we know about them today because of their predators. Sperm whales, in turns out, are much better at tracking down colossal squid than we are. 600m below the surface of the South Atlantic, somewhere off the coast of the Antarctic South Sandwich Islands, in an area so remote that the next closest humans were on the International Space Station, the group of scientists used an unmanned submersible to film the most extraordinary footage of a juvenile colossal squid. Forget anything that Katy Perry or Jeff Bezos' wife-to-be might be seeing out the window of their shuttle; set against the absolute black of the deep deep, the squid was purpleish and orange, elegant, brilliantly, beautifully alien. Isn't it amazing that our species can send a rocket with a popstar to space, and yet it's taken us until 2025 to actually record an Earth-based tentacled beast that can grow as long as a bus and weigh as much as a cow? I just think it's such a timely reminder. For whatever fascinations and discoveries await us in the infinite depths of the cosmos, there are still so many miracles and mysteries much closer to home, in the infinite depths of the real blue origin.

It's the last in our run of episodes about Antarctica. We are all back home, and we promise to stop bothering the poor continent.   Thom couldn't talk about it until after the press release, but the Schmidt Ocean Institute cruise he was on had to look at the seabed under a 150-meter-thick ice shelf right as it moved out of the way. We talked to the science leads on that cruise, Patricia Esquete and Sasha Montelli. We learned about the hydrography and glaciology of that region and then the seabed and communities that were revealed when the ice shelf moved away.   We're really trying to make this project self-sustaining, so we have started looking for ways to support the podcast.

On a recent expedition to Antarctica, researchers made a startling discovery after part of a huge ice sheet broke off. In the frigid waters originally hidden below, scientists discovered what appear to be new species of crustaceans, fish and other life forms. How is this possible and just how many more new life forms are waiting to be found? Jyotika Virmani, executive director of the Schmidt Ocean Institute, joins The Excerpt to share details of this remarkable discovery.

It's the last in our run of episodes about Antarctica. We are all back home, and we promise to stop bothering the poor continent. Alan and Thom discuss returning to an inbox of horrors and readjusting to time away. More cable cutting in our news updates, blobfish being voted fish of the year, and the tongue-eating louse potentially being invertebrate of the year. We don't want to say we influence the news, but it seems a little spooky.

El retroceso glaciar en la Antártida, en el polo sur, deja al descubierto zonas nunca exploradas. Un equipo del Schmidt Ocean Institute navegó en estas aguas remotas para observar la biodiversidad. RFI conversó con la jefa de la expedición. En 2023, durante una expedición en la Antártida, científicos estadounidenses descubrieron en las profundidades del polo sur un extraño invertebrado con 20 brazos, de color blanco con reflejos morados, que no superaba los 20 cm de largo. A esta singular especie que tenía un aspecto extraterrestre, se le otorgó el nombre de Promachocrinus fragarius, o estrella pluma fresa en alusión a la textura de su piel que recuerda de la dicha fruta.Este hallazgo nos recuerda que las aguas gélidas que bordean el único continente que carece de población humana, aun resguarda muchas sorpresas en materia de biodiversidad.Aunque carece de asentamientos humanos, la Antártida, continente dedicado a la ciencia, y que no es propiedad de ninguna nación, cuenta con su biodiversidad propia: pingüinos, ballenas y otras criaturas marinas viven en osmosis con las temperaturas bajas del polo sur. Pero el cambio climático podría perturbar este equilibrio. Hasta 2015, la banquisa antártica, capa de hielo que rodea el polo sur no mostraba grandes variaciones, contrariamente a la banquisa del polo norte que retrocede año tras año. Pero en 2023, sufrió un deshielo histórico. Y año tras año cada invierno, la masa de hielo se recupera menos que antes de 2015. Aún no se ha determinado si este fenómeno es el resultado directo del cambio climático como en el polo norte.En este contexto, la misión científica del Schmidt Ocean Institute navegó al oeste de la Península Antártica, en el mar de Bellinghausen, en estas aguas descubiertas por el retroceso glaciar.RFI conversó con Patricia Esquete, bióloga y codirectora de la misión. Desde el buque científico Falkor 2 explica a RFI la importancia de esta misión en aguas remotas. Con un grupo de científicos, zarpó el 10 de enero, aprovechando el verano antárctico con temperaturas que rondan los -8 grados celsius.Entrevista completa:

Los polos de nuestro planeta están siendo víctimas directas del cambio climático. Pero para los científicos, la mala noticia es también una oportunidad de acceder a zonas hasta ahora inaccesibles, antes cubiertas por glaciares o banquisas. Una bióloga marina a bordo de una inédita expedición en la Antártida, nos explica lo que están logrando descubrir en materia de biodiversidad. Hasta 2015, la capa de hielo antártica que rodea el polo no mostraba grandes variaciones, contrariamente a la banquisa del Polo Norte que, a raíz del calentamiento global, retrocede año tras año. Pero en 2023, el sur sufrió un deshielo histórico y desde entonces también pierde terreno regularmente. Lo que no se sabe aún a ciencia cierta es si el fenómeno del sur se debe al cambio climático, como en el polo opuesto.En 2023, durante una expedición en la Antártida, científicos estadounidenses descubrieron en las profundidades del Polo Sur un extraño invertebrado con 20 brazos, de color blanco con reflejos morados, que no superaba los 20 cm de largo. A esta singular especie se le otorgó el nombre de Promachocrinus fragarius, o estrella pluma fresa, en alusión a la textura de su piel que recuerda dicha fruta.Este hallazgo nos recuerda que las aguas gélidas que bordean el único continente que carece de población humana, aún conserva muchas sorpresas en materia de biodiversidad. De ello hablamos con Patricia Esquete, bióloga y codirectora de la misión científica del Schmidt Ocean Institute, en la Antártida.

In this dialogue, Prof Christo Doherty, the Chair of Research in the Wits School of Arts, speaks Ale de la Puente, an independent artist-researcher from Mexico who is doing a residency in Johannesburg as part of the Goethe Institute's international Studio Quantum programme. Ale has studied industrial design, goldsmithing, boatbuilding, navigation, astronomy, physics, and philosophy. She is known for her poetic and conceptual explorations of time and space across a wide field of mediums, ranging from installations and sculptures to drawings, photography, and video, including art science expeditions in search of symbolic natural phenomena, how we signify them, and how, very importantly, we relate to the given meanings in art and life. Ale is a fellow of the National System of Arts Creators in Mexico. She has exhibited her work both nationally in a wide range of international galleries from the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico to the Polytechnic Museum (Moscow) and the Bass Museum of Art, in Miami, Florida to name but a few. Her work is part of leading public and private collections. Ale first developed art-science projects in collaboration with the Astronomy Institute and Nuclear Science Institute of National Autonomous University of Mexico, UNAM, going on to work with the Schmidt Ocean Institute in California, the Roscosmos in Russia, and the Kosmica Institute in Berlin and Mexico City. Amongst her many collaborations with scientists are the projects "Desire", "Matters of Gravity" and "Finding the Centre" which we will discuss in this podcast, as well as the project she is beginning in Johannesburg as part of the Goethe Institut's Studio Quantum initiative - an international events and artist-in-residence programme which is exploring emerging quantum technologies through the lens of art. In this podcast we discuss how Ale came to art practice, beginning with her accidental discovery of Industrial Design and her first art-science collaborations with the Institute of Astronomy at the National Autonomous University of Mexica. We then unpack what went into the public space art-intervention she called "Desire" where , working with artisan firework craftsmen, she built an artificial comet that flew in the evening sky above Mexico City in 2016. We explore how she navigates the challenges as an artist engaging with the scientific lab through her experience of working at the European Council for Nuclear Research (CERN) where she has had two residencies, We then look at her collaborative project with 6 other artists called Matters of Gravity (2012-14), where they elaborated the different implications of zero gravity using the facilities at Star City in the Yuri Gagarin Cosmosnaut Training Centre outside Moscow. Finally we discuss the lessons that Ale has drawn from her extensive engagement with scientists working in a wide variety of disciplines and how she is going about her work on her project, entitled "Is it going to rain" with the Quantum Studio project in Johannesburg.

It turns out, we were making that far harder than it needs to be, we can do all this from home! Several of the big names in deep-sea exploration live-stream (or dive-stream if we're being cute). With just a few seconds delay, you can see deep-sea exploration as it happens and may be present for very significant finds. You never know what you're going to find down there. The big players in this space are the Schmidt Ocean Institute, Nautilus Live from the Ocean Exploration Trust and Ocean Exploration/Okeanos Explorer from NOAA. We are lucky enough to chat with Kasey Cantwell, the Operations Chief of the NOAA Ocean Exploration Expeditions and Exploration Division. We talk about the amazing opportunities this new way of doing science presents. From allowing 300 experts to take part, to swapping out your expert team when you find something unexpected and even the physical and societal barriers that can be removed. But it's not just about getting science done, it's about sharing these experiences with everyone. Online communities are forming around these streams and illustrations, poetry and memes are just as valid outputs.   Check out our podcast merch! Please do send in any pics of you wearing the merch.

For episode 9 of the Seabed 2030 podcast we've used a recording made of the session hosted by the International Hydrographic Organisation during the UN Ocean Decade Conference in Barcelona in April. The session was called "The Seabed Data we need for the Ocean We Want" and started with three keynotes moderated by Claire Jolly of OECD - Dr Mathias Jonas, IHO Secretary General; Mr Mitsuyuki Unno, Executive Director of the Nippon Foundation; Professor Gideon Henderson, Chief Scientific Adviser of DEFRA, UK; followed by a panel session moderated by Sam Harper of IHO consisting of lawyer Dr Virginie Tassom Campanella; Mr Virgil Zetterlind the Director of 'Protected Seas'; Mr Pierre Bahurel of MERCATOR; and Dr Jyotika Virmani of the Schmidt Ocean Institute. Unfortunately due to a technical issue the keynote by Dr Jonas failed to record but all of the others are on this podcast, but without the Q&A session as permission could not be sought from members of the audience.

Hello Earthlings! In this week's episode, our host Lisa Ann Pinkerton (CEO of Technica Communications),, delves into the indispensable yet underappreciated role of rectifiers in the green hydrogen economy with guest Bryan Allen, Director of Hydrogen and Energy Storage at DynaPower. Together they explore how rectifiers, devices converting AC to DC, are pivotal in hydrogen production systems, particularly in green applications involving renewable energy sources like solar.Allen, with over two decades in the electrical power space, explains the role of rectifiers in connecting the AC and DC worlds, thus facilitating the operation of hydrogen electrolyzers. This episode not only demystifies the technical aspects of green hydrogen production but also celebrates rectifiers as the unsung heroes in this crucial sustainable energy process. Additionally, Allen highlights DynaPower's contribution to the Advanced Clean Energy Storage Hub in Delta, Utah, underscoring the project's significance in the US hydrogen economy landscape.Restoring Our Faith in Humanity this week are recent marine biology discoveries off Costa Rica's Pacific coast by the Schmidt Ocean Institute's Falkor research vessel, spotlighting the discovery of new octopus species and emphasizing the importance of preserving deep-sea biodiversity.Key Topics: The Role of Rectifiers in the Green Hydrogen Economy: Exploring how rectifiers, devices that convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), are fundamental in enabling the production of green hydrogen from renewable energy sources.Insights from Bryan Allen: Featuring insights from Bryan Allen of DynaPower, discussing his experiences in the electrical power space, the importance of rectifiers in hydrogen production systems, and DynaPower's involvement in the Advanced Clean Energy Storage Hub project in Delta, Utah.Historical AC/DC Debate: A brief exploration of the historical debate between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla over AC and DC power, providing context on how this debate impacts current energy infrastructure and technology choices in renewable energy production.

Científicos de varios países exploran actualmente las aguas profundas del Pacífico, una región poco visitada y mal conocida. RFI habló con el jefe científico de esta expedición del Schmidt Ocean Institute que permitió identificar cerca de 100 especies marinas nuevas. Entre la comunidad científica circula la idea de que conocemos mejor la superficie de la luna que el fondo de los océanos de nuestro planeta tierra. Actualmente, menos del 1% de los fondos marinos fueron debidamente cartografiado. Y fue precisamente para mejorar el conocimiento del océano que una expedición marina zarpó del puerto de Valparaíso en febrero, financiada por el instituto filantrópico Schmidt Ocean, con destino a los montes submarinos de las costas chilenas y peruanas.Hasta finales de abril, a bordo del barco Falkor, un equipo de científicos internacionales explorará los montes submarinos de las dorsales de Nazca y Salas y Gómez. El biólogo de la Universidad Católica del Norte en Coquimbo, Chile, Javier Sellanes dirigió una primera expedición y antes de embarcarse para la segunda parte de esta exploración en marzo-abril, habló con RFI sobre la extraordinaria biodiversidad que descubrió su equipo gracias a un robot submarino.RFI: ¿Cuáles son los objetivos de esta misión?Javier Sellanes: Estos montes submarinos aquí de los dorsales de Nazca y de Salas y Gómez son remotos y muy poco explorados. Y lo que sabemos es más bien para la parte superficial, para las cimas de los montes. La idea de este en crucero era explorar un poco la parte más profunda, las laderas de los montes submarinos. RFI: ¿Hablamos de qué profundidad aproximadamente? Javier Sellanes: El objetivo era de los 2000 m hasta los 1000 m de profundidad. En algunos casos llegamos incluso a la cima de los montes que están entre los 500 y 20 metros de profundidad.RFI: Javier Sellanes, háblenos de los equipos científicos que utilizaron para explorar el océano profundo. Desde el navío Falkor, operaron un robot submarino llamado SuBastian.Javier Sellanes: El Falkor es la plataforma. Y su robot submarino el SuBastian, es un vehículo con capacidad para ir a 4500 m de profundidad y está con diversas cámaras que filman en muy buena resolución y que tiene capacidad de tomar muestras. Tiene dos brazos robóticos de última generación que permiten tomar muestras, muestras de agua, puede ir registrando datos oceanográficos en tiempo real, o sea que es una plataforma de investigación fantástica de última tecnología. Además, el barco bueno cuenta también con capacidades para mapeo del fondo submarino, muy avanzadas también para datos oceanográficos.Otro de los equipos que utilizamos en este crucero es un Lander, un módulo autónomo que puede estar cargado con distintos paquetes de investigación con distintos sensores, en este caso con trampas para capturar anfípodos que son unos crustáceos, por muy característicos de estas profundidades. Se deja un tiempo en el fondo, en este caso para que capturara a estas especies de crustáceos y transcurrido este tiempo el barco, por decirlo de alguna manera, lo llama entonces el equipo de este vuelve a la superficie.  RFI: Tras esta primera expedición, han indicado haber descubierto 100 especies marinas nuevas. ¿De qué se trata?Javier Sellanes: Nosotros teníamos registradas 400 especies para esta zona y ahora agregamos 200 más. Una de las características que tiene esta zona es el nivel de endemismo. Casi la mitad o más de la mitad de las especies que viven en esta zona son exclusivas de esta zona. No hay en ninguna otra parte del mundo. Entonces tú cuando recolectas especies en esta zona hay, altísimas chances de que sean especies nuevas para la ciencia. Tenemos por ejemplo un grupo emblemático de esponjas de mar, por ejemplo. En esta zona para la zona había solo registradas dos formalmente dos especies de esponjas y nosotros logramos recolectar al menos 40 especies distintas.Y así también con otras especies de corales, por ejemplo, probablemente tenemos. también 40 o 50 especies distintas de corales y a eso le podemos sumar crustáceos, moluscos y otros grupos que hemos visto.Así que incluso 100 especies es un número un poco conservativo, es decir, y es en base solo a lo que nosotros logramos recolectar. RFI: ¿Cómo explicar que algunas especies puedan vivir? Sobrevivir a 2000 m de profundidad con poca luz y una fuerte presión del agua. Javier Sellanes: ¡Quizás las especies que vienen a 2000 m de profundidad se preguntarán lo mismo de nosotros! ¿Cómo pueden vivir en la superficie con toda salud y sin esa presión? Son adaptaciones que tienen justamente para vivir a esa a esa profundidad. Quizás la presión para ellos no es un problema porque sea una siempre han vivido en esa en esa presión.Uno de los factores limitantes obviamente es el alimento. Viene principalmente del fitoplancton, que son estas algas microscópicas que están en la superficie y después eso se transfiere hacia la profundidad. Entonces, claro, si el alimento a esa profundidad es limitante, entonces las especies tienen distintas adaptaciones para, por ejemplo, alimentarse una vez cada tanto tiempo y después tener un metabolismo muy lento que le permita almacenar esa energía hasta el próximo evento en el que van a poder alimentarse.Quizás esa es una de las adaptaciones principales para vivir a esa profundidad: manejar el tema este de la energía, conservarla. Por eso muchas especies de esta zona son especies con movimientos lentos, que ahorran conservan su energía.   RFI: ¿Por qué es importante a nivel científico, seguir explorando las profundidades marinas? Javier Sellanes: Para conocer lo que tenemos en estos hábitats tan maravillosos, tan fantásticos, conocer esta diversidad única y de esta forma poder implementar mejores medidas de protección a futuroUna de las características que tiene esta zona es el nivel de endemismo de la fauna. Más de la mitad la fauna que está ahí, solo está en esta parte del mundo. Si se pierde ahí se pierde para el Mundo, se pierde para la humanidad. Y entonces son además hábitats muy frágiles. Son zonas remotas que están muy poco alteradas por acción antropogénica (acción del hombre), entonces son muy sensibles a cambio.  Uno de los problemas en estos montes submarinos es que como atraen fauna también, atraen recursos pesqueros. Entonces las pesquerías de ciertas especies en muchos montes submarinos son muy importantes. En estos montes todavía no hay no hay acción pesquera demasiado evidente, pero cuando empieza a ver esta acción pesquera por la fragilidad que tienen estos montes submarinos, se ven alterados muy rápidamenteEntonces la importancia de esto es primero conocer lo que tenemos, darle la relevancia que tiene a estos hábitats la importancia que tiene en el contexto de la biodiversidad. Y también en base a esto, tratar de generar a futuro mejores medidas de protección de la que ya tienen algunos. Ya en esta expedición fuimos a montes que algunos no tienen ninguna medida de protección u otros que están en parques marinos y otros que están en áreas protegidas, pero que inclusotambién se puede hacer pesca. RFI: ¿Cuánto nos falta por conocer en las profundidades de los océanos? Javier Sellanes: Siempre se está refiriendo a que conocemos más la superficie de luna que el fondo de los océanos.Es una fracción muy baja lo que está mapeado del fondo marino. Por eso es que una de las noticias también de esta expedición es que se logró cartografiar completamente un monte submarino y otros 3 también. Cuatro montes submarinos en total.  No sé si el 10 o el 15% del fondo marino está cartografiado apropiadamente. Eso no nos permite conocer muy bien los hábitats que hay en estos fondos marinos. De la fauna que vive en estos fondos, es lo mismo. En 35 días de exploración uno puede encontrar decenas de especies nuevas para la ciencia. Y eso una lo podría extrapolar, quizás a la vastedad del océano. Mucho todavía lo que nos falta por conocer del océano, del fondo, de su topografía, de los animales que viven en estas profundidades. RFI: ¿Cuál es la ruta de la segunda expedición?Javier Sellanes: En el crucero anterior nosotros exploramos montes submarinos de las dorsales de Nazca y la de Juan Fernández. El próximo crucero zarpó el 24 de febrero hacia los montes submarinos de las dorsales de Salas y Gómez. Comienza, por decirlo así, en Isla de Pascua, en Rapa Nui y se extiende a partir de ahí hacia el continente.Y recordar siempre también que todas las inmersiones del robot se transmiten en vivo. Todo el Mundo puede acceder en tiempo real a lo que está viendo el robot en el canal Youtube Smith Ocean Institute.

Hoy hablamos con el diseñador de sonido y compositor José Luis González Castro, creador del juego ‘SubROV: Underwater Discoveries'. El objetivo de la simulación es pilotar un robot submarino ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle), embarcarse en inmersiones para explorar los océanos y realizar tareas científicas en todo el mundo. Está parcialmente financiado por la National Science Foundation y cuenta con el apoyo del Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences y el Schmidt Ocean Institute. Estas instituciones proporcionan asesoramiento científico y recrearán en el juego varias de sus inmersiones de investigación.

On this episode, hosts Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham welcome Peter Neill to the show to talk about the new World Ocean Explorer DEEP SEA exhibit, a virtual aquarium launched in partnership between the World Ocean Observatory and the Schmidt Ocean Institute. THE DEEP SEA is an educational, interactive online platform for ocean exploration and discovery, utilizing high-resolution video, models, and descriptive materials of newly discovered deep-sea ocean species and environments observed during science expeditions. The DEEP SEA exhibit was designed to bring three-dimensional ocean literacy and marine science education to a worldwide audience of educators, students and individuals interested in the full spectrum of biodiversity and related value provided by the ocean–the largest, most essential natural system on earth. The virtual aquarium allows users to explore deep-sea ecosystems that cannot be observed in a traditional aquarium setting, such as hydrothermal vents, whale falls, and interactions with 3D models of newly discovered species. Peter Neill is founder and director of the World Ocean Observatory, a web-based place of exchange for information and educational services about the health of the ocean. Throughout his career, Mr. Neill has contributed to organizations devoted to marine affairs, education, and culture.

On this episode recorded live from the National Ocean Exploration Forum, hosts Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham sit down with Dr. Carlie Wiener, Director of Communications and Engagement Strategy with the Schmidt Ocean Institute. They discuss Carlie's background and how she came to work with Schmidt; background the Schmidt Ocean Institute and the work it does; introducing the RV Falkor (too), the Institute's new research vessel; introducing World Ocean Explorer DEEP SEA exhibit; the challenge and importance sharing ocean exploration with the public; and, how we can be better at telling stories by broadening diversity in ocean exploration.

Hoy conocemos la compañía Freire Shipyard. Fundada en 1895, en la actualidad construye y repara los más complejos buques offshore, oceanográficos, hidrográficos, de investigación, pesqueros, yates de lujo, grandes veleros y patrulleros. Astilleros Freire, ubicada en Vigo, es todo un referente en la construcción de buques oceanográficos, fabricando en la actualidad dos buques para dos instituciones oceanográficas muy importantes a nivel internacional, como son el Schmidt Ocean Institute y el Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. Charlamos con su director comercial, Santiago Sío Dopeso, que nos confirma que este tipo de embarcaciones se fabrican ‘a medida' de las necesidades del comprador, y son cada vez más habitables y tecnificadas. Auténticos laboratorios flotantes, los nuevos buques oceanográficos no tienen nada que ver con el BIO Hespérides con base en Cartagena, que aunque todavía está plenamente operativo, se construyó hace algo más de 30 años.

https://www.armatusoceanic.com/podcast/022-dive-streaming   One of the most exciting parts of our job is going to places that no one has ever been before and seeing things that no one has ever seen. It turns out, we were making that far harder than it needs to be, we can do all this from home! Several of the big names in deep-sea exploration live-stream (or dive-stream if we're being cute). With just a few seconds delay, you can see deep-sea exploration as it happens and may be present for very significant finds. You never know what you're going to find down there. The big players in this space are the Schmidt Ocean Institute, Nautilus Live from the Ocean Exploration Trust and Ocean Exploration/Okeanos Explorer from NOAA. We are lucky enough to chat with Kasey Cantwell, the Operations Chief of the NOAA Ocean Exploration Expeditions and Exploration Division. We talk about the amazing opportunities this new way of doing science presents. From allowing 300 experts to take part, to swapping out your expert team when you find something unexpected and even the physical and societal barriers that can be removed. But it's not just about getting science done, it's about sharing these experiences with everyone. Online communities are forming around these streams and illustrations, poetry and memes are just as valid outputs.   In recent news we hear how preparations are going for Alan's upcoming cruise. We talk about the octopus garden providing a nice warm spot to brood eggs, living underwater for long periods of time and the evolution of early vamperoids. No episode would be complete without our regular check-in with Don Walsh to hear about his involvement with the early days of ROV and AUV research. Check out our podcast merch!

In this month's episode, we discuss ocean mapping, exploration, and characterization. We were perfectly prepared for this topic 2 weeks ago when we were thrilled to host none other than Dr. Robert Ballard, world famous ocean explorer and discoverer of the RMS Titanic. We had an engaging discussion about his recent book Into the Deep, A Memoir by the Man who found Titanic. Today, we will explore the remarkable field of ocean discovery that Bob Ballard helped to advance, and to a greater extent, popularize for current and future generations. Ocean Mapping, Exploration and Characterization has big blue economy implications. Mapping, for example, is critical for fisheries management, offshore energy development, and safe marine transportation. Exploration and characterization support identification of sources for critical minerals, energy, and regions requiring conservation. Mapping and exploration are also helping us identify our Extended Continental Shelf, an area of nearly 1 million square miles which we hope to add to our EEZ. As with our past episodes, we have a rock star lineup of guests, including: Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi and Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. Dr Alan Leonardi, President and CEO, COL, Former Director, NOAA OER, the National Program for OE. Dr. Leslie Sautter, Professor of Geology at College of Charleston, Director of the Benthic Acoustic Mapping and Survey (BEAMS) Team. Cassie Bongiovani, ARL, University of Texas, Former lead mapper of the Five Deeps Expedition. Allison Fundis, COO, Ocean Exploration Trust. Dr. Jyotika Virmani, Executive Director, Schmidt Ocean Institute. RADM Sam Perez, USN(ret), CEO, Ocean Infinity America.

How does music impact your life? Does it make you happy or sad, giddy, or intense? Does it make you relax or reflect on life? Does it change the way you think about and relate to reality? It does all those things for me. So, I wanted to explore the intersection between art and science and how one can make us think differently about the other. Ben Cosgrove's art is inspired by nature and our relationship with it, so who better to speak to. Your Forest Podcast by Matthew Kristoff The Trouble With Wilderness with Ben Cosgrove Episode highlightBen Cosgrove is a travelling composer-performer whose music explores themes of landscape, place, and environment. He has held artist residencies and fellowships with institutions including the National Park Service, the National Forest Service, Harvard University, Middlebury College, the Schmidt Ocean Institute, and the Sitka Center for Art & Ecology. His nonfiction has appeared in Orion, Taproot, Northern Woodlands, Appalachia, and other publications. Ben's fourth studio album, The Trouble With Wilderness, was released on April 23rd, 2021. In this episode, he talks about his relationship with nature and the role art plays in helping us relate to nature and the way it affects our decision-making in environmental management.

I have to imagine that if my work or if that of any other environmental artist is influencing the thinking or eventually the work of a scientist, it's by appealing to them as a person first and a scientist second”. 1.05.17 - 1.05.29: “I am of the opinion that... a lot of our broader environmental problems and issues are... not the result of... malevolence but of neglect.”Takeaways Playing about the world (6.50) As a pianist, Ben identifies as a folk songwriter more than a classical composer, whose music is inspired by the environment, landscape and place. As a child, his piano teacher encouraged him to use music to understand his place in the world and he now expresses his feelings through music about geography. Greater than the sum of its sounds (11.24) Ben has moved from an objective data-driven musical portrait of an environment to a more emotionally resonant use of data to inspire his music. He talks about a piece he created based on a study on two species of megafauna, where their interactions, both pleasant and conflicting, were depicted using a cello and a viola. Soundscapes and conversation (16.41) Ben's music is an interpretation of his interest in “topography and what it feels like to be a person-sized person in differently shaped landscapes”. His travels feed his nuanced understanding of being in a place and compel him to pay attention to how qualitatively different each place is. What does your soul feel like? (19.55) Ben's natural interests and abilities in discovering the nature of the self combine with his interest in scientific understandings of different landscapes and places. Though he does not make music with the intention of advocacy, he hopes that his joyful self-expression helps others rediscover their connection with even mundane and lesser-noticed landscapes like sidewalk weeds. Inspiration begins at home (27.45) Ben's new album, The Trouble With Wildnerness, is named after “an argument against conflating wilderness and nature or even wilderness and wildness”. He admits that it took being stuck at home during the pandemic for him to discover the beauty of nature at his doorstep. His new music evokes the smaller features of ecosystems instead of the sweep of landscapes. Connecting through interpretations (35.36) Ben considers landscape painters and nature essayists as more his role models than musicians. He finds value in others unexpectedly emotionally resonating with his musical interpretation of nature. “The best thing art can do… [is] providing a point of connection that might otherwise be hard to articulate”, he claims. “Half of the work of the song is letting it be interpreted by somebody else” (38.50) Ben is mindful that “there is a lot… that art can do to frame public understanding of what a place is and what it means”, whether positive or negative and could present a narrow or reductive definition of a place too without the artist intending to. However, he appreciates how being interpreted lends his music new meaning and allows him to be a part of his audience's lives. “I write for people and scientists are people” (44.29) Ben has done a few residencies where he has created music in response to scientific research, using art to communicate his feelings to others, who may find value in his illustration of science. Though he is unaware of any research inspired by his music, he is confident that his music can “do a bit to show the public what science can do”. “Getting those conversations started makes the world run better” (1.02.47) Ben believes that the ways in which people act as stewards of one environment or landscape over another have a lot to do with the art they consume about it that has helped frame those places in their minds. He hopes his music compels people to discover and think critically about how they feel about a place, even if it is in disagreement with how he expresses his feelings. Stay in touch!

Episode 188 - Ben Cosgrove. Dan Sterenchuk and Tommy Estlund are honored to have as our guest, Ben Cosgrove. In the spring of 2021, landscape-inspired composer and traveling pianist  Ben Cosgrove released The Trouble With Wilderness, a lush, textured, and expansive set of twelve new songs that consider the role of nature and wildness in the built environment. “I found I was spending a lot of time on stage talking about national parks and oceans and wilderness areas, and not enough about the places that people are more likely to encounter in their everyday lives,” explains Cosgrove, whose career has included artist residencies and collaborations with Acadia and Isle Royale National Parks, White Mountain National Forest, the Schmidt Ocean Institute, the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, and the New England National Scenic Trail, as well as solo performances in 48 states. He assigned himself the challenge of writing a set of songs that would allow him to correct this oversight, and quickly found the decision to be eerily well-timed: almost immediately after he began writing and recording demos, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic would force virtually everyone on the planet both to find a new appreciation for the world just outside their front door and to reconsider the impermeability of whatever boundary they might have imagined to exist between the natural world and the human one. It also put Cosgrove, a musician who has traveled constantly for over a decade, in the unusual and terrifying position of having to sit still. “It really made me kind of have to walk the walk, in terms of the ideas I was trying to illustrate with this new music. Instead of driving eight hours to someplace new each morning, I was going on these daylong rambles all over the outskirts of town pretty much every day for months. I was amazed to find what strange, beautiful, and interesting things I noticed as I passed all the same ordinary-seeming places again and again and looked at them more and more closely.” The production by indie-folk maestro Dan Cardinal (Josh Ritter, Darlingside, Lula Wiles, Session Americana, The Ballroom Thieves) both emphasizes the physicality of the instruments involved and elevates the sounds to places that are uncannily gorgeous and sometimes almost surreal. The result is an uncommonly beautiful set of songs and a massive step forward in Cosgrove's idiosyncratic and increasingly mature body of work. Like the vernacular landscapes he looked to in composing it, the music on The Trouble With Wilderness sits on the narrow balancing point between order and wildness and manages to lean simultaneously into both.

75% of the Earth’s oceans remain unmapped… and we know Mars better than we know our planet. The exponential development of tech has superseded expectations for oceans and climate. Did you know in late 2015, it was estimated that it would take 200-600 years to map the ocean floor in high resolution? Now, only 6 years later, we’re expecting the results in only 10 years.Dr. Jyotika Virmani, Director of the Schmidt Ocean Institute, joins Niko Woischnik, founder of TOA, on this week’s episode. Jyotika is the “ocean influencer”, and holds the notion of storytelling, hope, and showcasing the beauty of the ocean to keep our planet alive.Jyotika and Niko deep-dive into Seaspiracy, biodiversity, how the pandemic has affected our onlook of science and exploration, and how the Schmidt Ocean Institute discovered a new coral on the Great Barrier Reef?!

Podcast episode 38, 3rd December 2020 - this week SUT CEO Steve Hall interviews Professor Ralph Rayner, who has served the global ocean science and technology community in many capacities since the late 1970s. Ralph's unusually broad career has included periods in research, industry, policy, and supporting international sustained ocean observing at governmental level on both sides of the Atlantic. Initially fascinated with the technology of diving and training as a scuba diver as a student, Ralph found his way into a career in underwater technology via a biology Bachelor's degree, then after a Masters in Underwater Science and Technology he undertook PhD work in the remote Chagos islands of the Indian Ocean. Ralph then entered industry, working in a variety of fields connected by a common thread of ocean technology, data and an ever-deepening understanding of the broad ocean science picture, eventually attaining senior level in several well-known companies. He first joined SUT in 1978 thanks to his interest in underwater technology and marine science education, and has served several times on Council, most recently as SUT's President. Ralph is Chair of Sonardyne Group, as well as supporting the US Integrated Ocean Observing System through his role in the NOAA IOOS Program Office. He serves on the advisory Boards of the Schmidt Ocean Institute and the Trustee Board of Plymouth Marine Laboratory. Ralph's influence in our community has been very much a result of his keen interest in a broader than usual range of subjects, and he's still learning, exploring, and eager to spread the word about the value of ocean science and technology for the benefit of our global community, including supporting the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, and encouraging closer ties between SUT and the Marine Technology Society Find out more about SUT at www.sut.org If you'd like to attend our AGM on 14th December, see https://www.sut.org/event/sut-agm/ to register.

Everyday Rockstar (0:00:00) Lisa and Richie talk with this week's featured Everyday Rockstar. You can nominate yourself or someone you know to be featured on the show by emailing thelisashow@byu.edu.   The Science of Sarcasm (0:08:36) How many of you have already been sarcastic today? If you're trying to be funny, sarcasm is the best tool to turn a mundane conversation into comedic gold. But do you ever stop and think about why so many people use this tool of irony? We wanted to understand sarcasm, how humans first started using it and why. So, we invited Dr. Penny Pexman, a professor of psychology from the University of Calgary, on the show to talk about the psychology behind the world's greatest invention, sarcasm.   Your Child's First Bank Account (0:22:39) Your teen just got their first job stocking shoes at the Nike store. With a regular paycheck, they can't just stick it in their piggy bank; it's time to help your teen get a bank account. But, where do you start? Looking for the perfect checking or savings account for your teen is a lot different than choosing a bank for yourself. So to help you navigate this milestone in your teen's life, we've invited Liz Frazier, our favorite family financial planner and new Director of Financial Education for Copper—the teenage banking app.   The Cost of Work Stress (0:35:42) Paperwork, demanding bosses, and deadlines—these are the composites of a stressful work environment (and that's not even including difficult coworkers). These aspects of work seem to be ubiquitous to workplaces around the country despite the fact that such an environment is harmful to the employees. It's harmful to the businesses bottom line too—work-related stress drains the US economy of nearly 300 billion dollars annually. Here to discuss the physical and fiscal effects of workplace stress on the US workforce and economy is the Executive Director of The American Institute of Stress, William Heckman.   The Future of Entertainment (1:01:20) We're all missing live entertainment right now. But slowly the entertainment industry seems to be adapting to the current COVID lifestyle. New movies and shows are being released on streaming services, allowing us to enjoy films like Hamilton, Mulan, and Pixar's Onward from the comfort of our own homes. But as we're seeing these changes, we have to wonder, what's in store for the future? What will entertainment look like next year or the year after? What will happen to movie theatres? Here to share his thoughts with us is TV executive and producer, Darren Campo.   Breakfast Hacks (1:15:42) Back to School means quick and early breakfasts and breakfast on the go. Kids don't wake up early enough to sit and enjoy a 5-star meal with pancakes, eggs, bacon, and homemade orange juice. And parents don't have the energy to make big breakfasts every morning. So, what do we do? How can we give our kids the energy they need each morning without going crazy in the kitchen? Joining us today is Bonnie Taub-Dix, an award-winning author and blog creator. She also has worked hard with her own kids to create healthy eating habits. She has some great breakfast hacks to help us out at the beginning of the school year.   Recent Deep-Sea Discoveries (1:29:32) Did you know that we, as humans, have only discovered 5% of our oceans? 5%! The thought of a whole 95% of our oceans remaining a mystery to us can seem hard to comprehend, as well as daunting. But luckily, as science and technology advance, we are able to learn more about oceans, which make up 70% of our planet's surface. Lucky for us, today we are speaking with Dr. Carlie Wiener from the Schmidt Ocean Institute to talk about their deep-sea explorations, including their most recent discoveries.

Today on Bytemarks Café, we'll find out what is like to be an artist in residence at a science organization. We'll talk to two artists and find out what they learned while resident at the Schmidt Ocean Institute and the Bishop Museum.

Today on Bytemarks Cafe, we'll talk with the team from the Schmidt Ocean Institute to find out about their latest expedition. What do their findings from the central equatorial Pacific tell us about El Niño and its effect on the weather in Hawaii? 5 PM on HPR-2.

First we'll look at the latest tech news and happenings in Hawaii and beyond. Then joining us today is Ken Berkun to tell us about his Windward Entrepreneurs Meetup. Finally, we talk about the research vessel Falkor and the Schmidt Ocean Institute with marine technician Jimbo Duncan and UH researcher Brian Glazer
