Climate Change Impact On Marine Species

This episode of the Blue Earth Podcast is from our video vault. We’ve repurposed it for you to hear.

The virtual panel of graduate students and postdocs from Northeastern, Stony Brook and UConn discuss their research on how climate change impacts the species that they personally study, e.g. dungeness crabs, blue mussels, sea scallops, atlantic silversides, and plankton. You’ll hear a few references to slides that they showed but we think the narrative alone is quite good and you’ll receive plenty of great content.

We postponed the originally scheduled UN’s World Oceans Week date due to our support of the STEM Walkout. The panel expresses their thoughts on addressing systemic racism within STEM.

The Next Generation of Ocean Stewards: Lauren Brideau

We finally return with a new episode of the Blue Earth Podcast, which will be airing every week starting with this episode!

We have a new host, Dr. Colleen Bielitz, and today we'll be interviewing a recent college graduate as part of our once-a-month episode that focuses on students: the next generation of conservationists, researchers, and activists.

What are the next generation of ocean stewards doing to protect our Blue Earth? Join us as we find out by speaking to Lauren Brideau, a recent graduate of Southern Connecticut State University. Lauren started as an undeclared major but soon found her calling, now she is part of a research team conserving life below water. She is a prime example that if you want to defend our oceans and the creatures that depend on the sea to survive, now is the time to become part of the solution.
