Charting sea level from space

Streaming the abyss: ROV Taurus takes science to new depths

As big as minivans and armed with long umbilical cords, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are cutting-edge pieces of technology that push the boundaries of marine science. Meet Taurus, a new 4,000-meter capable ROV operated by USF and the Florida Institute of Oceanography (FIO). This deep-diving machine is helping researchers learn more about the deep ocean that very few have seen. Hear more in episode six of The Rising Tides Podcast featuring special guest Nicole Raineault, associate director of research and technology at FIO. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The hidden forces behind hurricanes and red tide

The movement of water impacts just about everything in the ocean. In this episode, we explore the influence of ocean currents on hurricanes and red tide. Find out how the latest circulation models can help us predict and prepare for the impacts of these natural hazards. Listen to the fifth episode of The Rising Tides podcast with special guest Robert Weisberg, Distinguished University Professor and founder of the Ocean Circulation Lab at the USF College of Marine Science. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Decoding the colors of the ocean

Cyan Caribbean waters, royal blue northern seas and murky brown inlets. The ocean contains multitudes. But what causes these variations of color? The answer to that question and a special look into what’s next for marine sustainability efforts can be found here. Tune into the second episode of The Rising Tides podcast with special guest Frank Müller-Karger, a Distinguished University Professor at the USF College of Marine Science, and learn how scientists decode ocean color. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
