Written in the Ocean

by Juan David Escorcia

What if everything we need to understand the climate emergency is already written in the ocean? Written in the Ocean is a science journalism podcast series about the ocean and its role in the climate emergency. Through conversations with marine scientists, the series explores the carbon cycle of the ocean, the sediment archives that preserve the climate history of our planet, the invisible processes that keep our atmosphere in balance, the dynamics of glaciers and ice sheets, and the pioneering research that is expanding the boundaries of what we know about the deep sea. Each episode is built around one question: what is the ocean telling us, and are we listening? This podcast was produced as part of the FRONTIERS Science Journalism Fellowship, funded by the European Research Council under the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme. The residency was carried out at MARUM - Center for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen, Germany. Graphic design was supported by Leonardo.ai.
