Salty Science

by Salty Science

Hi everyone, I'm Stephanie, a marine science PhD student. I'm glad you can join me here at the Salty Science Podcast as I practice my public speaking skills and translating my science in a way that everyone (especially those outside the science community) can enjoy! I also really enjoy tea, so let's get "nerd-tea" together! :D If you have a marine science topic or tea you'd like me to discuss, shoot me a message at [email protected].

    Monday, January 20th is Penguin Awareness Day! And at Salty Science we're celebrating this holiday in a super fun way and have special guests calling in all the way from Antarctica!!

  3. 21: Happy New Year! (2020)

    Happy New Year! In this episode we recap some of the fun of 2019 as well as decide on some new years resolutions.

  4. 19: Chemical Corner - How We Classify

    This episode is the first Chemical Corner special segment, so we start out by going over some ways marine scientists classify the elements found in seawater such as "conservative," "non-conservative," "nutrient-type," and "scavenged-type."

  5. 18: The Global-Ocean Conveyor Belt

    In this episode we start talking about one of the motions of the ocean - the Great Global-Ocean Conveyor Belt!

  6. 17: DIY Experiment - Salt Crystals

    Join in on our first live Salty Science experiment! Instructions are posted on www.saltysciencepodcast.weebly.com so you can follow along at home.

  7. 16: Thanksgiving Special!

    In this episode scientists from all different disciplines in marine science share why they are thankful for our oceans!

  8. 15: Aquatic Plant Spotlight - SAV

    SAV - Submerged Aquatic Vegetation - is a super important group of aquatic plants that are worthy of the spotlight.

  9. 14: Animal Spotlight - The Atlantic Sturgeon

    This episode is dedicated to all of the great people who attended the Urbanna Oyster Festival (2019) and asked me great questions about the Atlantic Sturgeon - that super-large prehistoric looking fish that navigates Northern Hemisphere waters from the river to the sea.

  10. 13: Listener's Episode (Vol. 1)

    This episode is all about YOU! And what you have to say in response to the question, "Why should we care?"

  11. 11: "Other" Light in the Ocean

    In this episode, we continue the discussion on light in the ocean and broaden our discussion by looking at underwater volcanoes and bioluminescence.

  12. 10: Light in the Ocean (Solar)

    In this episode we discuss the light in the ocean and explain the three main zones in the ocean: euphotic zone, disphotic zone and aphotic zone. Light is a pretty big deal in the ocean as it impacts visibility, photosynthesis, predator and prey detection, and many other processes.

  13. 09: Visiting The Clines

    Let's visit the clines! The halocline, thermocline and pycnocline are set up barriers or layers within the ocean and play key roles in global ocean circulation. No marine science education is complete without understanding the clines.

  14. 08: Fall Equinox (2019)

    The Fall Equinox is an exciting time for the ocean! Let's draw on our knowledge from episodes 1-7 to derive an answer to the question, "How does the Fall Equinox impact the ocean?"

  15. 07: Ocean Density

    Density is a function of temperature, salinity and pressure ... so now we're going to start combining everything we've learned from Episodes 01 to 06 together to start talking about the all important topic - density!

  16. 06: Vertical Ocean Temperatures

    Continuing our discussion on ocean temperatures as we take a dive to the bottom of the ocean and back!

  17. 05: Sea Surface Temperatures

    Sea surface temperatures play a huge role on weather and climate around the globe!

  18. 04: Solar Radiation

    The sun is the giant star in the middle of our solar system that is responsible for all the solar radiation that powers life on Earth and plays a major role in the ocean.

  19. 03: The Sun (as seen by a marine scientist)

    That giant star in the sky that we call the sun plays a MAJOR role in marine science as it impacts the ocean in so many ways.

  20. 02: Salinity

    What is salinity? It may just be the MOST important topic in marine science!!!

  21. 01: Salts in the Ocean

    The fact that we have a salty ocean is a BIG deal! And it impacts all life on Earth!!! Plus, the salt in the ocean impacts many vital physical, chemical and biological processes that go on all around us... so it's worth knowing something about it.

  22. 00: Welcome to Salty Science!

    What is Salty Science all about? Well, listen to this short introduction to find out!
