Podcasts about Seabed

On this episode Samantha Rowe, partner in the London office of Debevoise and Plimpton, joins the podcast to discuss the recent Trump executive order aimed at jumpstarting deep seabed mining, the role of the International Seabed Authority, and evolving custom in the law of the sea.

Send us a textMay 16's Daily Drop is here, and it's a clinic in chaos. Jared dives headfirst into a flaming pile of Air Force mismanagement, with everything from canceled retention bonuses to space-based missile defense initiatives nobody budgeted for.We're talking about the Pentagon quietly prepping to boot transgender service members, the DoD admitting it can't staff enough school counselors, and the Air Force building new ICBM silos because fixing the old ones would just be too easy.Meanwhile, Space Force is trying to juggle in-orbit refueling, satellite sensors, a “Golden Dome,” and stealing 600 Guardsmen — all while Airmen are out here getting ghosted on their bonuses.Oh, and Trump wants to build the “F-55.” Whatever that is.

For episode 16 of the Seabed 2030 Podcast, recorded in April 2025, Seabed 2030 Head of Partnerships Steve Hall speaks to David Parker, who is Head of Hydrographic Programmes at the UK Hydrographic Office, Chair of the International Hydrographic Office Hydrographic Surveys Working Group, and one of the founding senior team for the UK Centre for Seabed Mapping. David talks about his career, his role at UKHO, how his team work with customers from industry, government and the international community to deliver essential mapping products that ensure safety of navigation, inform marine spatial planning and seabed management, grow the Blue Economy and help deliver the UK's commitments to international programmes such as the UN Ocean Decade of Science for Sustainable Development.He speaks in detail about the role of the new UK Centre for Seabed Mapping, and finishes with a call to industry bodies, Learned Societies and Professional Institutes to get involved.Find out more about the UKHO https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-hydrographic-office and the UK Centre for Seabed Mapping at https://www.admiralty.co.uk/uk-centre-for-seabed-mappingFind out more about Seabed 2030 at www.seabed2030.org and contact Steve Hall here. Revealing Hidden Depths - the Seabed 2030 Podcast Find out more about our project at www.seabed2030.org Brought to you by the Nippon Foundation and GEBCO

Welcome to the PRESSURISED version of episode 58, just the science, none of the waffle   We are still talking about Antarctica, the continent that keeps on giving!   For this month's interview, we speak with Devin Harrison - Marine Geoscientist/Postdoctoral Researcher at Kelpie Geoscience - Devin is a postdoctoral research fellow at Kelpie Geoscience. His research utilises high-resolution topographic models of the seafloor and complementary geophysical and geospatial datasets to understand the geomorphic evolution and process landform relationship of the deep sea and the continental shelves. Devin is particularly interested in the glacial geomorphological record and the evolution of glacial environments from the last glacial maximum (~20-25 thousand years ago) to the present day.   We're really trying to make this project self-sustaining, so we have started looking for ways to support the podcast. Here's a link to our page on how to support us, from the free options to becoming a patron of the show.

We are still talking about Antarctica, the continent that keeps on giving! Alan and Thom discuss trying to stop working momentarily, constructing a treehouse, and acquiring a shark. In the news, we rattle off a list of newly discovered species with some very cool (but hard to pronounce) names. There has been a lot of squiddy news. Footage of divers swimming with a giant squid has resurfaced; in an exclusive for the podcast, Alan has recorded more amazing Magnapinna (bigfin or elbow squid) footage. And the biggest bit of news: the colossal squid has been seen alive in its natural habitat for the first time! Thom and Kat were part of the press conference. Megalodon (the not-deep-sea and very extinct shark) has been reassessed based on what we do know. It was likely longer and slimmer than we thought, and we have estimations for their speed and size at birth. We also have a new coelacanth population and a classic car found in the deep.   For this month's interview, we speak with Devin Harrison - Marine Geoscientist/Postdoctoral Researcher at Kelpie Geoscience - Devin is a postdoctoral research fellow at Kelpie Geoscience.

Mining critical minerals has been called the new gold rush. Nickel, copper and other critical minerals are highly sought after in the drive to manufacture new technologies. And some mining companies want to extract these minerals from the deep sea. The Metals Company, a Vancouver-based mining firm, has spent years promoting the idea that mining in the deep ocean has a relatively low environmental impact. Now they want to sidestep an international regulatory body called the International Seabed Authority. We're joined by Catherine Coumins, Research Coordinator and Asia-Pacific Program Coordinator at MiningWatch Canada.

Hello dear listeners. I know you're here to hear about the rest of Seabed. It's just. Lately I find myself thinking about my old cohost and partner, from whom I've been separated for several years now. To be honest, I don't clearly remember what lead to the breakup. But I feel a strange longing in my heart, and pain in my skull, when I think back on the face fae made on that day. Ah. I'm sorry, I'm tearing up a bit. But it will be okay. I've moved on. Seabed is going to take a few more episodes, but we'll be covering chapters 1-3 and all the unlocked Tips today, as well Everlasting Flowers for Yuri Teatime. It may be difficult at times, but I have my wonderful guest hosts to help me get through the coming episodes.If only each of them didn't remind me of faer in their own way, more and more each day…Next time we'll be covering Seabed chapters 4-6, as well as SPY INTRIGUE (available on IFDB) for Yuri Teatime.Featuring co-hosts Benn Ends (@bennends.itch.io) and fen (@fenic.moe).Support the show and get access to bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/cryingrulesLink to Moon Archive Schedule Masterlist: http://moonarchive.art/scheduleSECTION TIMESTAMPS:intro - 0:00yuri teatime - 1:35everlasting flowers - 10:10seabed - 1:28:05outro - 3:52:15LIST OF NON TYPE-MOON WORKS REFERENCEDEverlasting FlowersThis episode carries content warnings for discussions of gaslighting, bullying, parental abuse, memory loss, mental health, hot nurses, and death.Email us at cryingrulesactually@gmail.com with questions, comments, and compliments.Cover art by Benn Ends, Intro music by Benn Ends, remaining music from works covered.

Perils to the Deep Sea From Bottom Trawling, Climate Change and Mining and the Need to Protect Its Stunning BiodiversityDiscussion with Matt Gianni from the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition on the critical importance of the deep sea to our air, climate, the marine food web, our food security and health. We discuss the biodiversity of the deep sea and our continual discovery of new extremophiles. We discuss the threat of bottom trawling, which indiscriminately catches a multitude of bycatch and disrupts nutrient flow. We discuss the looming threat of deep sea mining for critical minerals for the energy transition and the International Seabed Authority's conflicting mandate to establish the industry while protecting the deep sea. We also discuss how mining companies are exploiting Pacific Island nations, which are the most vulnerable to climate change. Additionally, we discuss the growing schism between climate mitigation and biodiversity protection and the need to view these as one problem that demands an integrated, holistic solution.For More Info: http://thegravity.fm/#/episode/63

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports Finland finds marks on the Baltic seabed following cable damage on Christmas day.

Durham University scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in marine geoscience, revealing unprecedented insights into the dynamics of Earth's longest-runout sediment flows. By using seabed seismographs placed safely outside the destructive paths of powerful underwater avalanches of sediment, researchers have successfully monitored turbidity currents - a natural phenomenon that shapes deep-sea landscapes, damages telecommunication cables, and transports large quantities of sediment and organic carbon to the ocean floor. The longest runout sediment flows on earth The study recorded two massive turbidity currents that travelled over 1,000 kilometres through the Congo Canyon Channel, moving at speeds of up to 7.6 metres per second. These flows lasted over three weeks and marked the longest runout sediment flows ever directly observed on Earth. This achievement provides critical new data on the duration, internal structure, and behaviour of turbidity currents, advancing our understanding of this powerful geophysical process. This breakthrough opens up new possibilities for studying one of the most significant yet poorly understood processes shaping our planet. By using ocean-bottom seismographs, researchers can now safely and effectively measure these extraordinary events in more detail than ever before. Lead author of the study, Dr Megan Baker of Durham University, said, "This multidisciplinary work brought together geologists, seismologists, and engineers to advance our understanding of powerful turbidity currents through first-of-their-kind observations using ocean-bottom seismographs. "This approach enables the safe monitoring of these hazardous events and will help us learn where and how often turbidity currents occur globally." The research team, which included researchers from Newcastle University, GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research, National Oceanography Centre, Georg-August-University, Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum GFZ Potsdam, IFREMER, Université Paris-Saclay, TU Wien, University of Hull, University of Southampton and Loughborough University, successfully used ocean-bottom seismographs - instruments that are placed on the seafloor to record seismic signals generated by the turbidity currents. This innovative approach allowed the researchers to capture detailed information on these flows without risking damage to expensive equipment, as has been the case with previous attempts. The use of these seismographs marks a major step forward in monitoring hazardous seabed events, offering a cost-effective and long-term method for studying turbidity currents and their impacts. The findings also reveal the global significance of these underwater flows. The turbidity currents studied in this research not only shape deep-sea landscapes but also play a crucial role in the transport of organic carbon and sediment to the ocean floor, with significant implications for deep-sea ecosystems and global carbon cycles. The study shows that despite substantial erosion of the seafloor, the front of these massive flows maintains a near-constant speed and duration, efficiently moving organic material and sediment vast distances to the deep sea. The study also challenges traditional models of turbidity current behaviour, suggesting that the flows can maintain a consistent speed and duration even as they erode the seabed. This finding calls for a revaluation of existing models that have been based primarily on shorter, shallower flows.

There's a clash of wills going on between central and local government in Taranaki when it comes to plans for seabed mining…Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

The Supreme Court has ruled the majority of the Court of Appeal “erred” in a major decision that ultimately eased the test for Māori to gain customary rights for use of the foreshore and seabed. Its just-issued ruling allows an appeal by the Attorney-General against the Court of Appeal's decision last October, at a time the Government is pushing through contentious legislation to overturn it. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper unpacks these new developments. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The BiG Scuba Duo, Gemma and Ian chat to Aniela Martin.  Aniela Martin is a scuba diver and an offshore hydrographic surveyor, working as part of a large team out at sea mapping the seabed and collecting geological information.   Aniela has a deep passion for the underwater world that began after her first ever scuba dive whilst on holiday as a teenager. Having just finished high school she wasn't sure what career path to take but her first adventure into the underwater world sparked a passion and strong curiosity for all things in the sea. Aniela  went on to study Oceanography at Southampton university and during her studies became a PADI divemaster, working the summer breaks at a dive centre in Southern Italy.   Aniela has been working as a hydrographic surveyor for three years now which involves mapping the seabed for various scopes such as scientific research, projects concerning green energy installations- wind farms, and communication links. Most of the projects she works on involve the use of ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) which use cutting edge technology allowing high resolution data, especially in deep water. Aniela's passion, aside from the underwater world is communication - Being able to convey her love for the big blue.

He has an extensive knowledge of the marine environment in the Clyde, has created a photographic and video archive of Arran marine life, and was COAST Chair for ten years before stepping down in 2018. Howard was involved in writing marine management proposals to the Scottish Government, including the final Arran Marine Regeneration trial proposal of February 2005. These led to the creation of a no take zone in Lamlash Bay, designated in 2008. He was also a key primary source of marine survey records supporting the South Arran Marine Protected Area proposal designated in 2014. Since designation, he has led baseline surveys of the area. Howard has attended many meetings with the Scottish government, Scottish Natural Heritage, Marine Scotland and Fishermen Associations and has also appeared before parliamentary committees on a number of occasions.Howard received the Goldman Environmental Prize in April 2015 for his work with COAST and was awarded an OBE for services to the Marine Environment in 2015.  Howard and COAST were recently part of the epic PBS documentary Hope in the Water.In this episode, Mark and Howard discuss working with community to save what they love, methods of preserving aquaculture and the current methods that people use to save marine environments and what it was like to work on the production of Hope in the Water.Save What You Love with Mark Titus:⁣Produced: Emilie FirnEdited: Patrick Troll⁣Music: Whiskey Class⁣Instagram: @savewhatyoulovepodcastWebsite: savewhatyoulove.evaswild.comSupport wild salmon at evaswild.com

How best to stop the spread of a tiny beetle that could have a huge impact on the future health and profits of UK forestry? From the end of this month all new planting of spruce, with a handful of exceptions, will be banned across much of the south east of England. The restrictions form part of the Government's plans to control the bark beetle, a pest which has caused significant damage to forests across Europe. It was first found in the UK in 2018, this latest measure is a new addition to current rules restricting the felling and movement of spruce trees, their bark and their wood.Environmental groups say the Scottish Government is failing the nation's marine environment by leaving large areas of the seabed unprotected. It's ten years since the introduction of Marine Protected Areas, but restrictions have still not been fully implemented. We're talking about how we manage water in the landscape all this week, so we've been to see how re-wiggling a river works on a restored floodplain in Wiltshire. Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

A company that wants to mine the seabed off the coast of Taranaki has welcomed its inclusion on the government's fast-track list. Trans-Tasman Resources says if the project goes ahead it will create hundreds of jobs and boost export earnings. Opponents meanwhile are fuming the so-called 'zombie project' has been brought back to life. Our Taranaki Whanganui reporter Robin Martin has more

How can geo-data become a game-changer in our fight against climate change? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Robert Hoddenbach, Global Director for Climate and Nature at Fugro, the world's leading geo-data specialist. With over 20 years of experience in geospatial and marine environments, Robert offers a deep dive into the critical role geo-data plays in understanding and mitigating the impacts of climate change, particularly in our oceans. Despite covering 70% of the Earth's surface, only 25% of the ocean has been mapped, leaving a vast knowledge gap in one of the planet's most crucial ecosystems. Robert explains how Fugro is at the forefront of addressing this challenge, using advanced technologies such as AI and machine learning to collect and analyze oceanic data. This data is not just vital for scientific research but also has practical applications, from laying underwater cables to understanding the ecosystem impacts on climate. We also explore how public-private partnerships and the sharing of ocean science data are essential for tackling global environmental challenges. Robert shares insights from Fugro's involvement in initiatives like Seabed 2030 and UNESCO's Ocean Decade for Ocean Science, highlighting the importance of collaboration in driving large-scale impact. But it's not just about data collection; it's about creating shared value. Robert discusses how Fugro balances commercial objectives with environmental preservation, emphasizing the need for long-term engagement with stakeholders to redefine value beyond shareholder returns. Join us as we uncover the future of ocean health, the technological innovations shaping the field, and the critical need for comprehensive geo-data to ensure a sustainable future for our planet. Could geo-data be the key to unlocking the mysteries of our oceans and safeguarding our environment? Tune in to find out, and share your thoughts on how technology can help us navigate these uncharted waters.

The Government plans to cut the budget for nature friendly farming in England by £100m, according to a report in the Guardian. It claims that civil service sources say the cut is needed to help fill a £22 billion treasury shortfall. The reduced spending could affect the new Sustainable Farming Incentive which replaces the old EU system, paying farmers for environmental benefits produced on their land. Nature and farming groups have reacted with consternation. We ask how significant would a cut of £100m be.All this week we are looking at how land use is changing, as public and private investment is brought in to fund environmental schemes. With increasing green finance opportunities, more and more companies are stepping in to broker deals between farmers and investors. Natergall's business model is to deliver ecological restoration on its own land and that of others, and to commercialise the results.Rural areas across England are in danger of becoming 'pharmacy deserts', as medicine providers across the country continue to consolidate and close smaller branches. That's according to the National Pharmacy Association, which has published a study showing that over the last two years, nearly nine in ten council areas in England have lost pharmacies. It found that rural areas often rely on fewer providers, so are harder hit by closures.A new report has revealed that part of the seabed off Devon which had been trashed by years of trawling and dredging is being revitalised. Research by the University of Plymouth shows that within just 10 years the former shellfish reef has been transformed.Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

Earlier this year, Treaty Negotiations Minister Paul Goldsmith in a private meeting with Oceans and Fisheries Minister Shane Jones and seafood industry representatives discussed potential changes to the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011, which is a piece of legislation that replaced the controversial Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004.  The Takutai Moana Act allows Māori to apply for certain customary rights over the foreshore and seabed under customary marine title.  The government intends to change section 58 of the Act which currently requires an applicant group to prove they have "exclusively used and occupied it from 1840 to the present day without substantial interruption". The proposed changes would change the section 58 test to reduce the 100% of coastline subject to customary marine title to 5%. As a result, an urgent Waitangi Tribunal claim into the government's proposed changes to the Act had its hearings this week.  This is the seventh urgent inquiry by the Tribunal into the coalition government's policies.  Producer Sofia spoke to lawyer at Te Mata Law, Harry Clatworthy (Ngāti Ranginui, Ngai Te Rangi, and Ngāti Uenuku-Kōpako), about these proposed changes as well as the historical context of foreshore and seabed ownership in Aotearoa.

Carvalho's election brings a new era of transparency and accountability to the ISA, as she has emphasized the importance of these values in her campaign. With a background in oceanography and experience as an international civil servant for the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), Carvalho is well-positioned to lead the ISA in a sustainable and responsible manner. As the first woman, first oceanographer, and first representative from Latin America to hold this position, Carvalho's election is a historic moment for the ISA. Under the previous leadership of Michael Lodge, concerns arose regarding transparency and neutrality within the ISA, particularly in relation to deep-sea mining activities. Lodge's tenure saw efforts to finalize the mining code for deep-sea exploration, but this was not achieved during his term. Allegations of advocating for mining companies and misusing agency funds further raised doubts about the ISA's commitment to marine environment protection. Carvalho's election signifies a move towards a more balanced approach to deep-sea mining, focusing on transparency, sustainability, and marine habitat preservation. Her dedication to upholding the ISA's mandate and promoting sound ocean governance, prioritizing the precautionary principle, sets a positive tone for future deep-sea mining regulation. As the ISA progresses under Carvalho's leadership, there is an opportunity to advocate for a new direction in deep-sea mining that considers the long-term health of the ocean and its benefits for future generations. Carvalho's election is a victory for those supporting responsible ocean management and establishes a foundation for a more inclusive and transparent decision-making process within the ISA. The push for deep-sea mining has raised significant concerns about transparency, environmental impacts, and the necessity for sustainable practices. Leticia Carvalho's recent election as the next Secretary General of the International Seabed Authority (ISA) underscores the importance of addressing these issues. Carvalho's victory over the previous Secretary General, Michael Lodge, who faced accusations of supporting mining companies and lacking transparency, signals a shift towards more accountable and environmentally conscious leadership within the ISA. Deep-sea mining is a contentious issue involving the extraction of seabed minerals for various purposes, including addressing metal shortages and providing materials for renewable energy technologies like electric car batteries. While proponents argue for the essential nature of these minerals for technological progress, critics warn of potential irreparable damage to the seabed and marine environment. The lack of understanding regarding the impacts of deep-sea mining, such as disruption to oxygen production and biodiversity in deep-sea habitats, underscores the need for caution and comprehensive regulation. The ISA, as the governing body overseeing deep-sea mining activities, plays a crucial role in ensuring that mining operations are conducted sustainably and transparently. Carvalho's focus on transparency and commitment to upholding the ISA's mandate to protect the ocean and marine habitats signal a positive step towards responsible deep-sea mining practices. The ISA's role in balancing the interests of mining companies, environmental conservation, and the well-being of future generations underscores the complexity of the issue and the importance of thorough deliberation and regulation before granting exploitation licenses. The concerns surrounding deep-sea mining echo past environmental challenges, such as the negative impacts of fossil fuel extraction and land-based mining activities. The rush for short-term economic gains has often led to long-term environmental degradation and social consequences. By prioritizing transparency, environmental protection, and sustainable practices, the ISA under Carvalho's leadership has the opportunity to champion a new approach to deep-sea mining governance that safeguards the health of the deep sea and its benefits for future generations. Overall, the episode highlights the critical need for transparency, environmental stewardship, and sustainable practices in the context of deep-sea mining. Leticia Carvalho's appointment as the new Secretary General of the ISA represents a significant step towards addressing these concerns and ensuring that deep-sea mining is conducted responsibly and in the best interest of the ocean and its ecosystems. One of the key takeaways from the episode is the significance of Leticia Carvalho's appointment as the next Secretary General of the International Seabed Authority (ISA). Her election marks a pivotal shift towards prioritizing sound ocean governance, the precautionary principle, and the protection of deep-sea ecosystems for future generations. Carvalho's victory over her predecessor, Michael Lodge, by a significant margin reflects a clear mandate for change within the ISA. Lodge's tenure was marked by accusations of favoring mining companies and lacking transparency in the ISA's processes. In contrast, Carvalho's campaign emphasized the importance of transparency in decision-making within the ISA, signaling a commitment to open and accountable governance. The appointment of Carvalho, as the first woman, first oceanographer, and first representative from Latin America to serve as the ISA Secretary General, brings a fresh perspective to the leadership role. Her background as an oceanographer and experience working with the United Nations Environment Program positions her well to advocate for the protection of deep-sea ecosystems and the sustainable management of seabed resources. The episode highlights the potential risks associated with deep-sea mining, including irreparable damage to the seabed and marine environment. Carvalho's stance against granting exploitation licenses before robust regulations are in place underscores her commitment to upholding the precautionary principle. By prioritizing environmental protection and sustainable practices, Carvalho aims to secure the health of the deep sea and its benefits for future generations. Overall, Carvalho's appointment represents a significant step towards fostering responsible ocean governance and ensuring the long-term health and sustainability of deep-sea ecosystems. As she takes on her new role in January 2025, there is optimism that under her leadership, the ISA will champion a new way forward that balances the needs of industry with the protection of the marine environment for the benefit of present and future generations.

Our first segment discusses both spurious and verified accusations that some UNRWA staff in Gaza may have been involved October 7th attacks. Two new reports this week shed light on how wild accusations against UNRWA are less than credible. Our second segment looks at how the UN is approaching the war in Sudan, which by the numbers is the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. We discuss a Security Council meeting on Darfur featuring the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court and a second meeting on the humanitarian crisis, including a recent report showing famine conditions are spreading among 500,000 people in a vast IDP camp in Darfur. In our third segment, we discuss the International Seabed Authority, which is an entity created by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea that seeks to regulate deep sea mining. The International Seabed Authority recently had a hotly contested election for Secretary General that pitted an incumbent favored by industry against a challenger preferred by conservationists and scientists.A discount link for a full subscription.

"The small coastal town where you'll be staying this weekend bears the cool sea air like a mantle. Your suite, the luxurious Victorian era Revival room in a traditional Western style hotel, overlooks the harbor and the steep, switchback mountain trails that flow into town like a ruddy stream. Breakfast is served an hour past dawn and free ornithology classes are held each afternoon with the proprietress. When you leave here, you will forget some things. Don't be afraid - this is what we wanted for you. It's not the end of something. It's the start of your next journey.Everything has a Reason.9.5/10 starsminus 0.5 stars because the manager got drunk and proposed marriage to me?"- Customer review of a certain mountaintop hotel. This month, Runa and Sara join returning guest Raven to discuss SeaBed (2016), a richly woven tapestry of memory, grief, kindness, and healing. The story begins as the lively and spontaneous Takako enjoys a seaside vacation with her long-time girlfriend, serious and grounded Sachiko. Or perhaps it begins in elementary school, when Takako and Sachiko first meet. Or... did it start when Takako disappeared? Was that four years ago? Two years ago? SeaBed quickly immerses you in the world of these two women, joined quickly by Narasaki, a childhood friend of Sachiko's who studies disorders and conditions of the brain and memory. As Sachiko struggles to recall exactly what happened, Narasaki guides her through the landscape of her past with Takako and into the strange pathways of Sachiko's own perception and memory. Soon, Sachiko recalls that Takako didn't just go missing - she died. That's when the story shifts, and we begin to see things from Takako's perspective where she's recovering from a memory condition in a seaside sanatorium.For listeners who haven't played SeaBed, we avoid talking about major spoilers up until 00:56:00 minutes, so if you want to listen that far and see what you think, we encourage you to listen along up to that point and then check out SeaBed for yourself!As always, if you enjoy our show please consider rating us and leaving a review wherever you listen to podcasts!
