Watch Schmidt Ocean on CBS Saturday Morning to see how marine science is helping us better understand—and protect—our Ocean. Giving Ben Tracy a tour of Falkor (too) in Panama was a pleasure.

Would you climb an 18,000-foot glacier to fight climate change? Scientist Lonnie Thompson did. Watch “Canary,” presented by REI and @OscopeLabs. It was an honor to serve as executive producer. Canary.oscilloscope.net

Scientists aboard Schmidt Ocean’s Falkor (too) journeyed to the coast of Panama to study the movement of microplastics in the deep sea. Thank you to Ben Tracy and CBS Mornings for spotlighting how marine science is helping us better understand—and protect—our Ocean.
