    Episode 176: Josie Iselin - The Mysterious World of the Bull Kelp Forest

    Josie Iselin is a photographer, author, and book designer, including The Mysterious World of the Bull Kelp Forest (2026). She is also a co-director of Above/Below, a campaign to bring the recognition afforded forests on land to the kelp forests below the ocean’s surface. Synthesizing the scientific stories of our coasts is her overriding passion, bringing thoughtfulness and stewardship to this extraordinary place of discovery. On this episode of Nature Revisited, Josie introduces us to the overlooked complex underwater world of Bull Kelp forests on the North Pacific coast of the US. Each year, tiny bull kelp saplings explode into sixty-foot “redwoods”, harboring an array of co-dependent species. She describes how their interspecies dramas play out in eight coastal regions, from Alaska to central California, exploring instances of interdependent, compromised, and resilient coastal ecosystems. Humans are also deeply implicated in this saga—by turns beneficiaries, agents of harm, and stewards of these subtidal sanctuaries. https://www.josieiselin.com https://www.heydaybooks.com/catalog/mysterious-world-of-the-bull-kelp-forest/ https://bullkelp.info Listen to Nature Revisited on your favorite podcast apps, on YouTube, or at https://noordenproductions.com Subscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/bdz4s9d7 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5n7yx28t Subscribe on Youtube Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/bddd55v9 Podlink: https://pod.link/1456657951 Support Nature Revisited https://noordenproductions.com/support Nature Revisited is produced by Stefan van Norden and Charles Geoghegan.

    Revisit: Mark J. Easter - The Blue Plate

    Mark J. Easter is an ecologist, researcher, and author of more than fifty scientific papers and reports related to carbon cycling and the carbon footprint of agriculture, forestry, and other land uses. On this episode of Nature Revisited, Mark offers us a picture of the impact the foods we eat every day have on the earth. From the soil that grows our crops, to the farmers who steward the land, to the workers and grocers who bring the food to our table, the compounding social and environmental impacts are far-reaching. However, we can employ low-carbon, in-season alternatives to make our foods more sustainable, but we must first understand how food is produced, harvested, and shipped.

    Episode 175: Ben Cosgrove - Topograph

    Ben Cosgrove is a traveling composer-performer whose music explores themes of landscape, place, and environment. Described as “a sonic plein-air painter who uses his piano as a paintbrush,” Ben's music "incorporates elements of classical, folk, country, blues, pop, et cetera, and can be by turns meditative and chaotic, somber and exuberant.." On this episode of Nature Revisted, Ben returns to discuss the influences and creative process behind his latest album Topograph. The sixteen new songs are inspired by landscapes of tumult and change — instances of “water and air moving land around”. The resulting album is as lush and diverse as the scenes and processes that inspire it: moving islands, eroding dunes, collapsing hillsides, and landscapes being made and unmade. https://www.bencosgrove.com Listen to Nature Revisited on your favorite podcast apps, on YouTube, or at https://noordenproductions.com Subscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/bdz4s9d7 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5n7yx28t Subscribe on Youtube Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/bddd55v9 Podlink: https://pod.link/1456657951 Support Nature Revisited https://noordenproductions.com/support Nature Revisited is produced by Stefan van Norden and Charles Geoghegan.

    Rowan Jacobsen writes about science and nature and the less-explored corners of the world for Harper’s, Outside, The Atlantic, Scientific American, Smithsonian, and many other publications. He is the author of nine books, including In Defense of Sunlight.

Outlining the growing case for the importance of modest sun exposure for our health and well-being, citing up-to-date studies on the effects of sunlight on human health, Jacobsen presents a much-needed, lucid assessment of not only what the sun can do for us, but how a lack of sun could actively be harming us. https://www.rowanjacobsen.com/ In Defense of Sunlight book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/In-Defense-of-Sunlight/Rowan-Jacobsen/9781668092163 Listen to Nature Revisited on your favorite podcast apps, on YouTube, or at https://noordenproductions.com Subscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/bdz4s9d7 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5n7yx28t Subscribe on Youtube Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/bddd55v9 Podlink: https://pod.link/1456657951 Support Nature Revisited https://noordenproductions.com/support Nature Revisited is produced by Stefan van Norden and Charles Geoghegan.
