#3 – A Map in Four Dimensions: Amid Blowing Winds, an Old-Growth Forest is Born

Episode Notes An ecosystem with four dimensions? In this transmission, survey the SeaBank’s interconnected habitats (forests, glaciers, estuaries, offshore waters) and enter their fourth dimension: time. Learn about ecological succession, the transformational powers of wind, and dynamic equilibrium—a state of balance amidst constant change. Enjoy the sounds of windchimes, time passing, and songbirds. The SeaBank Chronicles is a natural sound theater transporting you through the living science of Southeast Alaska. Combining facts and mystery, each 7-minute episode delivers listeners to Alaska’s coastal rainforest to groundtruth terrestrial and marine ecosystems, guided by a trusted radio operator. Voice narration weaves in and out of rich audio effects to create an immersive experience that is both educational and spellbinding. Listeners will learn about the wild and silvery nation of migrating salmon, ancient trees, and the human communities who find refuge among them. A project of the Alaska Sustainable Fisheries Trust, The SeaBank Chronicles is written, hosted, and produced by Beth Short-Rhoads.
