Last year I was interviewed by Planet People Podcast.
By the end of the 4 or so hours of recording I was a bit delirious, but really love how the episode turned out. 1hr 44 minutes long.

Bottom trawling is horribly destructive to coastal ocean ecosystems, and deep-sea mining will do the same to the open ocean. #OceanFilm 🌊

U.S. military aims to turn island bird refuge into SpaceX rocket site
Landing tests at Johnston Atoll in the Pacific could advance a plan to use rockets to ship military cargo but could also threaten an important nesting site.

It's hard to get over what's happening to NOAA, and I fear what will eventually become of NOAA. My first job in science was with NOAA 30 years ago. You can read about some of the work we did on the ocean carbon cycle in this data report.

The establishment of U.S. research bases in Antarctica and the signing of the Antarctic Treaty, all in the 1950s, were significant achievements in science and international collaboration. These bases have made crucial contributions to scientific research, especially in understanding climate change.
Daily life at US-run Antarctic stations has already been disrupted. Scientists worry that the long-term impacts could upend not only important research but the continent’s delicate geopolitics.

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach.

Before it's taken offline, I want you to know about the NASA website where you can learn about the stratospheric ozone hole and check on how it's doing. It has cool movies like this one, showing the growth of the ozone hole during the Austral spring last year.

As rainwaters flow down from the foothills, areas near rivers and low-lying regions may experience significant flooding. Expect road closures, travel disruptions, and hazardous conditions.

The U.S. #NationalWeatherService, housed within #NOAA, is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. It costs only ~$3/yr per taxpayer, & yields ~10:1 return on investment--saving economy 10s-100s of billions, not to mention thousands of lives.
Hearing reports that Musk’s cronies are targeting NOAA — infiltrating key systems and locking out career employees.
NOAA is vital for weather forecasting, scientific research and more. Their critical work saves lives.
My team and I are looking into this and we will not stand for it.
