Join your host, Jackson McKinney, on "Secrets Beneath the Sea" as they delve into the true nature of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. This episode separates scientific observations from popular misconceptions, exploring how large-scale winds and currents concentrate floating debris and microplastics. Discover the sources of plastic pollution, its impact on marine life, and the challenges and methods involved in cleanup and prevention.
This episode of Secrets Beneath the Sea with Jackson McKinney explores the ocean's role as Earth's climate engine. It covers how the ocean absorbs and transports heat and gases, influencing coastal temperatures and rainfall patterns. The episode also discusses the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), ocean acidification, and the impact of warming on coral reefs and deep ocean conditions.
This episode explores the Mariana Trench, including its depth, formation by tectonic plates, and the challenges of exploring it. It discusses the adaptations of deep-sea life to extreme pressure and the impact of human activity on even the deepest parts of the ocean. The episode also touches on the scientific methods used to study trenches and the ongoing questions they present.
Discover the unsettling reality of microplastics, tiny plastic fragments less than five millimeters in size, silently infiltrating our environment. Explore their origins, from primary sources like microbeads and plastic pellets to secondary sources such as the breakdown of larger plastic items and synthetic clothing fibers. Uncover the pervasive pathways these particles take through rivers, wastewater treatment plants, and atmospheric deposition, impacting ecosystems and raising significant human health questions.
Join Peter Paul on "Inside the Sun" as he explores how our star, 150 million kilometers away, drives all weather on Earth, from gentle breezes to powerful storms. Discover how solar energy creates uneven heating, which in turn generates wind and powers the entire water cycle. Unpack the Sun's role in dramatic weather events like tropical cyclones and severe thunderstorms, and learn the crucial distinction between weather and climate.
