Podcast appearances and mentions of Susan R Eaton

Ep. 11 | Maybe it was the time she was camping on the ice in Antarctica when it broke off and started floating away. Or the time she was surrounded by at least a thousand sharks. Susan R. Eaton goes where few dare try. Here is an hour of pure courage, resilience, and purpose. Brought to you by the Women's Leadership Network.

It's big and it's scary, but despite it all, there is hope. In the final episode of our season, we tackle the issue that has been looming over our heads: climate change. We spoke to two knowledgeable women, Louise Comeau and Susan R. Eaton, about what climate change looks like, what we can do about it, and how to remain hopeful in the face of it all.Learn more about Nature Needs Half at natureneedshalf.org.

We hear from Susan R. Eaton, who tells us about her career as a geoscientist, founding the Sedna Epic Expedition, and how she hopes to inspire women in the water and on land in the Great White North.

A Fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, Susan explores the world’s oceans—from Antarctica to the Arctic—in the snorkel zone, a unique land-sea-ice-air interface where charismatic animals and snorkelers commingle. She has snorkelled with everything from Beluga whales, to spawning salmon, sharks, and even leopard seals.

Arctic Ocean animals such as the Polar Bear, Beluga whale, Narwhal whale and the Bowhead whale are some of the iconic species that are at high risk of being affected by Climate Change. These animals and their habitats are the exact reason why Susan R. Eaton, who was named one of Canada's top 25 Greatest Canadian Explorers  by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, is leading an expedition of 12 women to the Arctic Ocean, called the SEDNA Epic Expedition. The team plans to SCUBA dive and Snorkel its was through the Northwest Passage documenting their trip and interactions with animals at every point. They also plan to do a 3000 km snorkel all the way through the passage, 24/7 to complete a world record.  During their travels, the all women team plans to engage with the local Inuit and Inuvialuit communities and bring 12 girls on board with them to participate in the expedition learning how you snorkel, SCUBA and handle the remote operated vehicles (ROV) the will use to explore the habitats of the Arctic Ocean. Listen to the episode to find out why Susan chose an all female team to go on the epic journey with her and find out how she became a full time snorkeler, and prefers it for her interactions with ocean animals.   SUFB Podcast: http://www.speakupforblue.com/podcast SUFB Website: http://www.speakupforblue.com 10 Ocean Tips to Conserve the Ocean: http://www.speakupforblue.com/wordpress/sufb_optinpdf
