Technology And The Sea - Fascination Marine Technology
Claim This Podcastby Bärbel Fening
Podcast Overview
<p>Marine technology is not about ships and shipbuilding, but about the technology that is used to explore the oceans, protect them and use them sustainably.Please consider the harsh conditions the marine technology is exposed to in the sea. The sea is often a very inaccessible habitat with strong currents and aggressive salt water. The deeper you get, the higher the water pressure becomes, people and equipment have to be able to withstand this. Wind and waves make the work even more difficult, many jobs can only be done up to a certain wave height. Sometimes you also have to pay attention to the tides. And then there are remote and climatically demanding regions like the Arctic or the Antarctic.After all, we know surprisingly little about what lives in the sea. Researchers assume that there are a good 1 million higher organisms and 1 billion species of microbes. The sea is an almost inexhaustible source of natural substances. However, 95% of them are unexplored, in the deep sea even 99%. Marine tech is of great importance. In this podcast we'll have a closer look at it.

Your Ship in Action for Marine Research: SOOP - Toste Tanhua, GEOMAR Kiel
<p>Lots of ships in action for marine research - that's the idea behind the SOOP innovation platform, which is the subject of this podcast episode:<br/>Private sailing ships, cargo ships, cruise ships, ferries or cutters - every ship can collect the scientific data that is so urgently needed for marine research wherever it is travelling.<br/><br/>SOOP - Shaping an Ocean of Possibilities - is a new innovation platform that aims to bring everyone together:<br/>Industry, which is developing the necessary easy-to-use marine technology,<br/>society, which plays its part in collecting data and<br/>science, which works with this data.<br/><br/>SOOP is being funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research from 2023 to 2025 as part of the Helmholtz funding line "Innovation platforms as sustainable and structure-building measures to strengthen transfer and innovation".<br/><br/>This innovation platform is coordinated by Toste Tanhua, chemist and oceanographer at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, who explains in detail in this podcast episode how SOOP will work and how you can already support it now.<br/><br/>www.soop-platform.earth<br/>www.maritime-technik.de<br/>www.baerbel-fening.de</p><p><a href='https://www.baerbel-fening.de'>www.baerbel-fening.de</a></p>
