Oceanography is a weekly marine science podcast exploring the latest ocean research, climate science, and environmental discoveries. From whale communication and underwater soundscapes to sustainable fishing gear and microplastic pollution, we dive deep into the science shaping our understanding of the world’s oceans. Each episode features conversations with marine biologists, oceanographers, and climate scientists working on the frontlines of ocean conservation and climate change. You'll learn about deep sea ecosystems, endangered species protection, and the powerful connections between ocean health and life on land. If you're passionate about the ocean, climate change, or environmental science—and want to hear directly from the researchers uncovering new insights—you’re in the right place.
Oceanography is produced by Pine Forest Media, an independent podcast network focused on environmental research, science communication, and why it all matters.

Antarctica’s Hidden Carbon Vault — Beneath the icy surface of the Southern Ocean lies a powerful ally in the fight against climate change: Antarctic blue carbon. In this episode of Oceanography, host Clark Marchese speaks with marine ecologist Dr. Narissa Bax about how deep-sea coral gardens, sponge fields, and seafloor ecosystems around Antarctica are quietly locking away carbon for thousands of years. Together, they unpack what makes Antarctic blue carbon different from coastal mangroves or seagrass, how climate change and global treaties shape its protection, and why these frozen carbon stores may hold a rare note of optimism for our warming world.
