BLUE EARTH – Future Frogmen Podcast Series – Predicting the Ocean’s Future
A series of conservation educational podcasts from Future Frogmen, introduced by Jeff Goodman.
Predicting the Ocean’s Future
This episode of the Blue Earth Podcast features Dr. Samantha Siedlecki of the University of Connecticut’s Department of Marine Sciences. Dr. Siedlecki works in the Coastal Biogeochemical Dynamics Laboratory at UConn’s Avery Point Campus. A beautiful waterfront campus in Groton, Connecticut, located on the Long Island Sound at the mouth of the Thames River.
She is an accomplished biogeochemical oceanographer who is focused on investigating the coastal ocean, and forecasting scenarios, including the impact of ocean acidification on many species such as Dungeness Crabs and sea scallops. Importantly, Dr. Siedlecki also works with coastal communities, particularly fisheries, in order to help them plan for the future and to be more resilient.
Dr. Siedlecki shares how she became curious about and attracted to the ocean, her subsequent education, past and new projects on both the east and west coast of the U.S., what it means to be an Advisor to graduate students, her thoughts on the state of the ocean and its future, and what we as individuals can do to help the ocean.
