Ep57 - Underwater hot springs in Mabini, Batangas

Mr. Raymond Rodolfo shares his research on the gas bubbles coming off the seafloor in a diving site in Mabini, Batangas, which is popular for its marine biodiversity. This is called submarine groundwater discharge, which can have profound implications on our understanding of coral reefs and ocean acidification. This phenomenon is also not unique to Mabini, Batangas, and is reported in many coastal areas around the country. ⌛Chapters00:00 Podcast Introduction and Guests04:13 Studying Submarine Groundwater Discharge06:31 Experiences and Inspiration in Becoming a Scientist09:12 Choosing a Graduate School and Teaching12:01 Sustainable Oyster Culture and Challenges14:36 ​​Studying Submarine Groundwater Discharge in Anilaw17:25 Importance of SGD in Marine Biodiversity19:58 Analysis of Bubbles and Water in Anilaw22:11 Connection of SGD and Marine Ecosystem23:38 Observations and Study Results33:17 Water Analysis and Tracers36:00 Challenges in Sampling and Diving40:07 Publishing Results and Questions43:10 Funding and Collaboration with Other Scientists46:53 Good and Bad Experiences in Research50:10 Lessons Learned and Next Steps Step53:28 Advice for Those Who Want to Become Scientists📚Reference: Cardenas, M.B.; Rodolfo, R.S.; Lapus, M.R.; Cabria, H.B.; Fullon, J.; Gojunco, G.R.; Breecker, D.O.; Cantarero, D.M.; Evaristo, J.; Siringan, F.P.; et al.
