The Sound of Water

Rare Earth

Helen Czerski and Tom Heap discover how new technology lets us listen in to the extraordinary sounds of the planet's waterways. From the deepest ocean to the tributaries, rivers and streams, this is an exploration of the sound made under water by animals, humans, and yes even plants. From the snapping of shrimp to the bark of a John Dory, Tom and Helen ask how sound travels through water, how important it is and what is known about the purpose of these sounds. They also ask what impact human activity is having on the watery soundscapes and their inhabitants. Joining Tom and Helen are Marine Biologist Steve Simpson, Former Submariner Bob Mansergh, Principle Scientist Rosalyn Seddon and Eco-Acoustician Jack Greenhalgh.

Ocean Explorers
Rare Earth

150 years ago the British research ship Challenger returned from a three and a half year voyage that changed the world. Plucking species from every ocean, at depths never explored before, the Challenger kick-started the science of oceanography and paved the way for a world connected by undersea communication cables.

To celebrate the Challenger's legacy, Helen Czerski and Tom Heap are at the world's biggest ocean science conference in Glasgow to ask what the next 150 years may hold. Is the age of the human explorer over, replaced by robots and DNA sampling, or is there still a space for wonder as we explore the depths of our planet's oceans?

With Tom and Helen at the AGU Ocean Sciences Meeting are three top ocean explorers - Kirstie McQuaid from Nelson Mandela University in South Africa, Murray Roberts of Edinburgh University and Sofie Spatharis of Glasgow University.

Assistant Producers: Toby Field and Rebecca Rooney

Rare Earth is produced in collaboration with the Open University

One of the most interesting book I read this year Blue Machine by Helen Czerski @helenczerski or the ocean explained by physics. A lot of information. Entertaining and instructive. Pop science at its best #BlueMachine #HelenCzerski #popscience #bookstodon #vendredilecture #books #mastolivre #livre #physics #ocean

The ocean has been absorbing 93% of all climate warming. Now, it is fed up with co2. What happens now?
