S2 E8 - Biodiversity

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.

S2 E4 - The Arctic

In this episode, we take a close look at how the climate crisis is impacting the Arctic and what it means for all of us. We're joined by Rebecca Jackson, an Assistant Professor at Tufts University in Earth and Climate Sciences who has made several research trips to the Arctic, and David Balton, Senior Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School of Government and formerly the Executive Director of the White House Arctic Executive Steering Committee.
