Ocean themed podcasts. Whether you’re looking to learn something new, be entertained, or both, there’s a marine-themed podcast out there for you. Not sure where to start? Here’s a list to help you get your ocean audio fix.
Call for articles for a special issue of Geoscience Communication. We are inviting contributions to a special issue of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) journal Geoscience Communication on the theme of Climate and ocean education and communication: Practice, ethics and urgency. We welcome research articles that investigate a wide variety of topics, including, but not limited to, the following: best practices and innovative approaches to climate and ocean education; the ethics and geoethics of climate and ocean education, including social justice and equity; the role of technology (including artificial intelligence) and new media in climate and ocean education; the intersection of climate and ocean education with other issues, such as biodiversity, sustainable development, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); the impact of climate and ocean education on public opinion, policy and behaviour; the integration of climate and ocean education into formal and informal education; the role of geoscience research in advancing climate and ocean education; scientific investigation of outreach initiatives targeting different age groups, settings, and approaches; learners’ content and procedural knowledge of climate science and options for action (e.g. climate feedbacks, impacts, adaptation measures, and renewable energy), cultivating science and communication skills (e.g. quantitative literacy, critical thinking, and writing to inform), initiating positive attitudes and actions (e.g. empathy and behavioural change) and issues related to the transfer of education into action and to timescales needed for mindset and behavioural change.
