Keeping watch on a changing ocean

by • 2 Comments

This time we’re headed to the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton in the UK, about 80 miles southwest of London. Kate Larkin and Richard Lampitt are both biogeochemists there.

Lampitt says, “Certainly there is a big development of enthusiasm for observing all parts of the global environment. And we’re very pleased to see that the ocean environment has not been missing out on that.”

Both Lampitt and Larkin are coordinating a massive European effort to look at, listen to, and touch the global oceans. Stay tuned to hear more.

    You are most welcome! I’m in a play at the moment and asked a couple of my co-performers to help out with the voice overs. I’m glad you enjoyed them!
