This week we are discussing a 2023 United Nations review of maritime transport, and the technologies that rely on the men and women worldwide who wor...

    Visualizing Success

    As we discuss resiliency, adaptation, and mitigation of climate and ocean, we must also invent--not to merely rearrange the elements of an old plan, but to imaging and consider some things new and different.

    Eustacy: A Word for the Ocean

    Eustacy is a word used to describe worldwide changes of sea level. This is a new word for us: even though it seems we live in a eustatic world.

    Bright Ideas Toward a Sustainable Future

    This week we are discussing two technological innovations—both bright ideas that could have huge impacts for useful, sustainable change for the future.

    Internal Price on Nature

    As we review the state of climate change challenge and response, it becomes clear we are not succeeding. Is it possible to craft a new economic system that values natural resource sustainability over depletion of those resources?

We're discussing this and more this week on World Ocean Radio.About World Ocean Radio World Ocean Radio is a weekly series of five-minut...
