S2 E8 - Biodiversity

LIVE Crossover Event - Climate Reveal & The Coastal Call

A special live crossover-episode event! Chris Citorik and David Deese from Climate Reveal join Rob Nazarian, founding director of Fairfield University’s Center for Climate, Coastal, and Marine Studies, and host of The Coastal Call, to host a live panel discussion about the interdisciplinary nature of the climate crisis, what experts see as the most crucial questions to answer moving forward, and how we communicate with each other about such important issues.  Throughout the hour, we talk with Hilary Palevsky, Assistant Professor in Earth and Environmental Studies Department, Emma Brace, Assistant Professor of Engineering at Boston College, and Edson Severnini, Associate Professor of Economics, and Core faculty of the Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society.  Sponsored by the Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society.

S2 E8 - Biodiversity

In our final episode of Season 2, we look at the ongoing loss of biodiversity, why it matters, and how we should be thinking about it moving forward. To help us understand the current moment and the stakes of what we're facing, we sit down with Chris Neill, Senior Scientist at the Woodwell Climate Research Center in Falmouth, and Richard Primack, Professor of Plant Ecology at Boston University.

S2 E7 - Oceans

In this episode, we take a deep dive (see what we did there?) into the rich, complicated world of our planet's oceans. We explore how the climate crisis has already impacted our oceans locally and globally, what the biggest challenges will be moving forward, and potential solutions to help our oceans heal from the damage we've already done. We're joined by Gareth Lawson, Senior Scientist in Ocean Conservation at the Conservation Law Foundation, and Raffaele Ferrari, Professor of Oceanography at MIT.

S2 E6 - Energy Affordability

In today's episode, we dig into something impacting homes across the country - the cost of energy. We break down why energy has become so expensive, what that means for our efforts to combat the climate crisis, and how to think about energy cost moving forward with Barbara Kates-Garnick, Professor of Practice in Energy Policy at the Fletcher School at Tufts University and former Undersecretary of Energy for Massachusetts, and Dan Dolan, President of the New England Power Generators Association.

S2 E5 - Water & Hydropower

In today's episode, we explore the world of hydropower and the role it can (and already does) play in solving our energy needs as we look to the future. We sit down with Bob King, owner of three New England-based hydropower plants, and Noah Snyder, professor and chair of the Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences at Boston College.
