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.

Host Dave Schlom is joined by guests from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of San Diego to profile the ocean science being done at one of the world's most important and historic places to study our blue planet.
As the U.S. swings a budgetary axe at the federal government, one of the biggest casualties is climate science. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) faces a brutal 20% workforce reduction—jeopardizing critical research just when we need it most. So, what's really at stake? And is Donald Trump Making America Dumb Again?This week on Cleaning Up, host Bryony Worthington takes us deep inside the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, where scientists are on the front lines of tracking our planet's most urgent environmental challenges.Meet Ralph Keeling, the scientist carrying forward his father's legendary legacy—the Keeling Curve, the definitive record of our atmosphere's rising carbon dioxide levels. His decades of meticulous measurements lay bare the stark truth about climate change and why these long-term observations are more vital now than ever.And that's not all. We also sit down with Professor Ray Weiss, the atmospheric detective who played a key role in saving the ozone layer. His work helped drive the Montreal Protocol—one of humanity's greatest environmental victories.With climate science under attack, what lessons can we learn from past successes? And what happens if we stop listening to the data?Leadership Circle:Cleaning Up is supported by the Leadership Circle, and its founding members: Actis, Alcazar Energy, Division Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP of Portugal, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, SDCL and Wärtsilä.

Unser heutiger Gast hat Biologie an der Technischen Universität München studiert und in Berlin im Fach Technischer Umweltschutz promoviert. Nach mehr als 15 Jahren in den USA – unter anderem am Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego und bei der kalifornischen Umweltbehörde – kehrte sie nach Deutschland zurück, wo sie seit 2015 am Umweltbundesamt tätig ist. Seit 2021 ist sie Vizepräsidentin dieser Behörde und setzt sich dort für den Schutz von Gewässern, Böden, sauberer Luft und Trinkwasser ein. Zudem lehrt sie als Honorarprofessorin an der Technischen Universität München. Ihr großes Thema: Wasser – die Ressource, die sie seit ihrem Studium fasziniert und die unser Leben und unsere Umwelt maßgeblich prägt. Seit mehr als siebeneinhalb Jahren beschäftigen wir uns mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. In über 470 Gesprächen haben wir mit fast 600 Menschen darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie geändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Warum ist Wasser eine so zentrale Ressource für den Schutz unserer Umwelt? Wie wirkt sich der Rückzug der USA aus dem Pariser Klimaabkommen auf die globale Umweltpolitik aus? Und welche konkreten Schritte müssen wir jetzt unternehmen, um unseren Planeten für kommende Generationen lebenswert zu halten? Fest steht: Für die Lösung der aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Ideen und Herangehensweisen. Und daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen.

First up this week, a ship that flips for science. Sean Cummings, a freelance science journalist, joins host Sarah Crespi to talk about the resurrection of the Floating Instrument Platform (R/V FLIP), a research vessel built by the U.S. Navy in the 1960s and retired in 2023. FLIP is famous for turning vertically 90° so the bulk of the long ship is underwater, stabilizing it for data gathering. Additional audio from Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Watch FLIP flipping here. Next on the show, viewing past lives using bones from medieval London cemeteries. Samantha Yaussy, a professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at James Madison University, joins Sarah to talk about a bony paradox. Do lesions or scars on buried bones mean the person was frail and ill when they lived or were they strong and resilient because they survived long enough for disease to damage their bones?

Please join us for the annual Keeling lecture in honor of Scripps Professor Charles David Keeling's life and invaluable contributions to climate science and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Tereza Cavazos's will present an overview of relevant climate drivers shared in the US-Mexico western border region, as well as their possible changes and impacts. From extreme weather to droughts, from the monsoon rains to the jet stream and El Niño events, these variations see no artificial borders; however, adaptation to climate change poses major challenges particularly south of the border. Delays in finding feasible and equitable actions can have severe consequences for present and future generations. Series: "Jeffrey B.

Listen Now to Dr. Jonathan Trent Transcript Interestingly Dr. Trent had his start in oceanography and the study of small water-based lifeforms at UCSC back in the 1970’s as an undergraduate. Later at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a post doc in Germany at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry he became one of the world’s experts in how biology was able to adapt to the most extreme conditions on Earth imaginable. He was brought back home to NASA Ames, where he, as an astrobiologist delved deeply into how such life might exist elsewhere in the solar system. NASA did an extensive interview of his career, posted here. Dr. Jonathan Trent Now, semi-retired in the Santa Cruz area, he brings home his knowledge of extreme forms of life in creating solutions to some of our biggest issues of today, namely the escalating food, water, and energy crisis. His latest project is called “UpCycle Systems,” and its goal is to create a cohesive green life support system for our growing need of Data Centers, places that are needed for cloud computing, AI, Crypto, memory storage, etc. In Dr. Trent’s vision, data centers will not simply use massive amounts of water and power, they will generate such resources by turning our organic waste into clean power and water, with excess energy to share. This works through the combination of several innovative technologies, including bioreactors and fuel cells. I think you’ll enjoy hearing Dr. Trent’s story, we sure did! Enjoy.. UpCycle Data Centers that will contribute clean water and energy to the community instead of taking it.
Episode 6 Featuring Amber Sparks, Co Founder of Blue LatitudesToday we are getting curious about our oceans and how we can protect and enhance ecological biodiversity. If you have seen an off shore oil and gas rigs in the ocean, you will know that they are pretty unsightly but what lies beneath them can be an abundant, colorful artificial reef. To talk more about this and many other ocean projects on this episode, is Amber Sparks the co founder of Blue Latitudes.Amber SparksAmber Sparks is a marine conservation biologist and entrepreneur, Forbes 30 under 30 awardee and even has her likeness displayed at the Smithsonian to inspire girls in the sciences. Born and raised in Laguna Beach, Amber has made waves as co-founder of Blue Latitudes through her work repurposing offshore oil platforms into artificial reefs. A graduate of UC Berkeley and Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Amber began her career supporting the launch of underwater street view at Google before co-founding Blue Latitudes LLC in 2015. At Blue Latitudes, Amber has spearheaded efforts to convert over a dozen offshore oil and gas platforms into permanent artificial reef habitats, conserving over 72 acres of habitat in oceans worldwide. Amber is also the co-founder of Blue Latitudes Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to addressing conservation challenges at the intersection of industry and the environment. Through her foundation, Amber works to educate stakeholders on the value of a healthy ocean, encouraging them to think differently about the future of ocean conservation, and has led scientific research expeditions from Malaysia to the Kingdom of Tonga and produced multiple award-winning documentary films. Amber resides in Laguna and draws inspiration from the coastal beauty of the Pacific, as well as her close-knit family, including her husband and two children, parents, grandmother, and siblings.HELPFUL LINKS: www.instagram.com/becurious_podcastwww.instagram.com/bluelatitudesfoundationwww.bluelatitudesfoundation.orgCREDITS: The BE CURIOUS PODCAST is brought to you by ECODA MEDIAHost: Louise HoughtonProduction by: Deviants MediaProducer: Louise HoughtonAssistant Producer: Marta WagnerAssistant Producer: Ralph CortezMotion Graphics: Josh Dage

As the effects of climate change are increasingly being felt around the world, the need to transition away from fossil fuels is becoming more urgent. An electrified world requires more batteries, which in turn means the demand for metals, such as nickel, is rising. Mining those metals can often have devastating consequences for ecosystems, destroying and polluting vast landscapes. But there is another way to get these metals—from the floor of the Pacific Ocean. an area over 4km below the ocean's surface offers an alternative. The companies proposing to harvest these metals argue that mining the deep sea would be less environmentally damaging than land-based mining. But many ecologists disagree. The Economist's Hal Hodson explores the diversity of deep-sea ecology by visiting Adrain Glover's lab at the Natural History Museum in London. Gerard Barron, the boss of The Metals Company, outlines the case for mining the ocean floor. Lisa Levin of Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Anna Metaxas, an oceanographer at Dalhousie University, share their concerns over the lack of evidence of the impact of deep-sea mining. Plus, Sue-Lin Wong, The Economist's South East Asia correspondent, reports on the destruction that traditional land-based mining in Indonesia causes to the country's rainforests.

Meyer: / drstephenmeyer Dr. Meyer at Discovery Institute- https://www.discovery.org/p/meyer/ Stephen C. Meyer received his Ph.D. in the philosophy of science from the University of Cambridge. A former geophysicist and college professor, he now directs Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture in Seattle. He has authored the New York Times best seller Darwin's Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design (HarperOne, 2013), Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design (HarperOne, 2009), which was named a Book of the Year by the Times (of London) Literary Supplement in 2009, and now, The Return of the God Hypothesis (HarperOne, 2021). In his first book on intelligent design, Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design (HarperOne, 2009) Meyer examined the mystery of the origin of the first life. With Darwin's Doubt, he has expanded the scope of the case for intelligent design to the whole sweep of life's history. Meyer's research addresses the deepest mystery surrounding the origin of life and the origin of animal life: the origin of biological information necessary to produce it. Meyer graduated from Whitworth College in Spokane, Washington, in 1981 with a degree in physics and earth science. He later became a geophysicist with Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) in Dallas, Texas. From 1981 to 1985, he worked for ARCO in digital signal processing and seismic survey interpretation. In 1986 as a Rotary International Scholar, he began his training in the history and philosophy of science at Cambridge University, earning an M.Phil. in 1987 and a Ph.D. in 1991. His doctoral thesis was titled “Of Clues and Causes: A Methodological Interpretation of Origin-of-Life Research.” He returned to Whitworth in the fall of 1990 to teach philosophy and the philosophy of science. He left a tenured position as a professor at Whitworth in 2002 to direct the Center for Science and Culture full time, which he had helped found with John West in 1996. Prior to the publication of Signature in the Cell and Darwin's Doubt, the writing for which Meyer was best known was an August 2004 review essay in the Smithsonian Institution-affiliated peer-reviewed biology journal Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington. The article laid out the evidential case for intelligent design, presenting it as the best explanation for the origin of the biological information necessary to produce the new forms of animal life that arose abruptly during the Cambrian explosion. Because the article was the first peer-reviewed publication arguing for intelligent design in a technical journal, it proved extremely controversial. The journal's editor, evolutionary biologist Richard Sternberg, was punished by his Smithsonian supervisors for allowing Meyer's article into print. This led to the investigation of top Smithsonian personnel by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel. The controversy was widely covered in the media with articles or news stories appearing about it in The Wall Street Journal, Science, Nature, NPR, The O'Reilly Factor and the Washington Post. The federal investigation eventually concluded that Sternberg had been wrongly disciplined and intimidated. Meyer's many other publications include contributions to, and the editing of, the peer-reviewed volume Darwinism, Design and Public Education (Michigan State University Press, 2004) and the innovative textbook Explore Evolution (Hill House Publishers, 2007). Meyer has also published editorials in national newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The National Post (of Canada), The Daily Telegraph (of London) and The Los Angeles Times. He has appeared on national television and radio programs such as The Jim Lehrer News Hour, NBC Nightly News, ABC Nightly News, CBS Sunday Morning, Nightline, Fox News Live, Paula Zahn Now (CNN), Good Morning America and the Tavis Smiley Show on PBS. He has also been featured in two New York Times front-page stories and has garnered attention in other top national media. In 2008, he appeared with Ben Stein in the theatrical-released documentary Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. He has also been featured prominently in the science documentaries Icons of Evolution, The Case for a Creator, Darwin's Dilemma and Unlocking The Mystery of Life, the latter which was shown on PBS and which Meyer co-wrote with producer Lad Allen.
