From marine heatwaves and unexpected ecosystem insights to solar storms interfering with ocean instruments, this episode reveals how long-term data turns surprises into understanding.You’ll hear from three voices at the heart of ONC’s story:Richard Dewey, former Science Director at ONC, oceanographerKohen Bauer, who works at the intersection of ocean data, tools, and models at ONCGwyn Lintern, an early ONC collaborator now with Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), whose work bridges science, risk, and real-world decision-makingTogether, they share how ONC evolved from answering scientific questions to generating vast, open datasets that researchers — and government departments — now rely on to understand ocean processes, ecosystem health, and environmental risk.This episode dives into:How continuous observation transforms raw data into scientific discoveryWhy looking for the weird is often the starting point of real breakthroughsWhat marine heatwaves like the Blob revealed about changing ocean conditionsHow solar flares were detected deep in the ocean — without anyone looking for themWhy understanding when ecosystems are functioning well matters in an age of eco-anxietyHow ONC’s data supports science, policy, and public safetyYou’ll also hear sounds captured directly from the ocean — including underwater acoustics recorded by ONC’s observatories — reminding us that sometimes, discovery isn’t something you see, but something you hear.Listen closely — the ocean is always telling a story.Learn more & explore furtherOcean...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/dc9Ba46alEreRm0pBGH5GuPSCW3rn9kCmX2JUaPi_J8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82Yzc0/M2YwYTczMGE3ZWEw/YjBlNjUxOTAxYmYz/YmQwYi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
