A special three part episode recorded onboard a Climate and Oceans expedition in the Norwegian Arctic. We’ll hear about the dark mysteries of the deepest realms of the ocean from “Her Deepness” herself, Dr. Sylvia Earle (possibly the most admired and loved oceanographer of the last century). Followed by the latest Planetary Boundaries Earth science from Johan Rockstrom, and the role of ocean storytelling and immersive art installations from Taylor Griffith. Together, their voices weave a tale of the predicament and possibility of the Arctic and high seas; how to sense the lifeworlds of all the creatures who glow and sparkle and live in the dark within the greatest unexplored part of Earth's biosphere; we learn about ocean exploration in the 21st century, the dangers of deep sea mining, and the role of discovery and art in bringing us into the pulsing heart of the planet’s watery body. I love this episode so much, and I hope you will too.  Episode Website Link Show Links: Sylvia Earle biographyMission Blue and Hope SpotsDeep Ocean Exploration and Research (DOER Submarine vessels)Johan RockstromPlanetary BoundariesMission Blue DocumentaryDeep Sea Mining Challenges - Oxygen ProjectTaylor Griffith artist pageCampaign Against Deep Sea MiningAnna Atkins Ocean cyanotypesPope’s new Laudato Deum Look out for meditations, poems, readings, and other snippets of inspiration in between episodes.
