Climate Change is Destroying the Great Barrier Reef | Here's Why with Dr Jodie Rummer

Witness firsthand the devastating impact of 31-degree water temperatures as Dr. Jodie Rumer describes the beginning of coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef.This episode dives into the physiology of the climate crisis, showcasing how marine heatwaves are affecting fragile ecosystems. Discover the critical science behind these changes and what it means for the future of ocean life.Imagine an Episode of the Huberman Lab Podcast but instead of humans, we discuss fish.Still the same keywords: VO2 Max, heart rate, oxygen levels, and how to improve performance. But this is not about self-improvement. It's about studying how fish - some of the best athletes in the world - adapt to climate change.Jodie enlightens me on how fish experience an ocean that is getting too hot. How they react, what their coping mechanisms are - and most importantly: If there is hope.About Jodie"Over her career, Dr. Rummer has researched fish buoyancy, exercise, and is a leading authority on the evolution of oxygen transport and how fish maintain performance during stress. Her team combines physiology, ecology, and evolution to address issues important to conservation, particularly focusing on the effects of climate change and other anthropogenic stressors on coral reef fishes, sharks, and rays.With over 150 peer-reviewed publications and presentations at more than 120 professional conferences worldwide, Dr. Rummer's research has made significant contributions to our understanding of marine ecosystems and climate change impacts."(From her website: https://jodierummer.com)
