NOC Into the Blue Podcast

In June 2023, an intense marine heatwave hit the shores of the UK, and while it only lasted two weeks it indicated that these events may be more frequent in the future. NOC's Dr Zoe Jacobs switches roles and takes the hot seat to discuss her recently published paper on the possible effects of marine heatwaves in the UK and the possible consequences to fisheries marine life if we don't research these events further.

While there are many natural hazards endangering the population of the planet, none are more destructive than flooding, with a quarter of the worlds population being exposed to flooding at some point in their lives. The University of Southampton's Professor Ivan Haigh and NOC's Professor Jenny Brown join Dr Zoe Jacobs on Into the Blue to discuss the risks flooding poses to coastal communities in particular and the ways we are mitigating those risks, including the creation of The Centre for Doctoral Training for Resilient Flood Futures (FLOOD-CDT).

Our oceans are teeming with marine life, especially in areas like the mysterious Twilight zone, but did you know that they play a vital part in our climate? NOC's Dr Adrian Martin and Dr Zoe Jacobs unpack the role they play in key climate systems like carbon storage and what the short and long term effects are in taking advantage of the benefits.
