Can you imagine that planting trees influences our oceans? Join Lennard and Charlotte this week to find out about the potential interactions of large-scale reforestation projects with our climate system and ocean circulation.
Today, Charlotte and Lennard go back to the basics. After two episodes talking about specific models and application, they take a step back to discuss climate models more generally, and ask the question whether or not we can rely on them.
Today, Charlotte and Lennard explore the advantages of using a newly developed model to simulate the El Niño Southern Oscillation in the Pacific Ocean. This climate phenomenon is truly remarkable, being the largest inter-annual variability in the climate system with global consequences.
Dive beneath the Arctic sea ice with Lennard and Charlotte, as they explore how numerical ocean models interpret the same hidden world in different ways. Specifically, Charlotte will describe the role that sea ice plays in the complex system of the Arctic Ocean.
Hi, we are Lennard Montag and Charlotte Walter, your new hosts of the GenSea podcast for the next
few weeks. In this episode, we introduce ourselves, and describe how we got to be podcast hosts
and early career marine scientists.
No matter where you go, there will always be a tale about the ocean; whether it is to warn you about danger, to share the story of the community or to teach a lesson, ocean storytelling has always been present in the heart of our coastal societies. On this episode of GenSea, Joelle, Charlotte, Lennard and Gilbers sit around to share different stories coming from very different parts of the world like Greece, Japan, Scotland and the pacific ocean to illustrate that everywhere on the world, there will always be an ocean story to be told, you just to ask...
Sharks are not mindless killers and the media is lying to you about it. On this episode of GenSea, we take a swim in shark infested waters to explore how the media represents these fairly famous fishes. Dr Jenny Bortoluzzi, shark specialist, will explain how amazing these animals can be by giving examples of different species ecology, behaviour and general body structure all while highlighting typical shark misconceptions like drops of blood summoning sharks in the middle of the ocean or just how “lonely” they really are.
Fast fashion is polluting our oceans. In this episode of GensSea, we talk with environmental activist and model Clara Tome about microplastics, overproduction, greenwashing, and how our clothing choices impact marine life, and what real sustainability actually looks like.
In the first episode of Gen sea for 2026, hosts Gilbers and Joelle welcome sociologist José Luis Fournier to explore why ocean conservation cannot succeed without the involvement of people. From marine protected areas and the global 30×30 goal to illegal fishing and community co-governance, this episode explores how the social sciences inform effective ocean protection. Drawing on examples from Costa Rica and the Mediterranean, the conversation reveals why "paper MPas" fail, and how inclusive, participatory management can help the ocean thrive.
Madalena Missionario, Kay Watty, and Sophie Littke attended the ICYMARE conference, where a workshop inspired them to record this special episode. They share what brought them into marine sciences, their studies, and the challenges they face in scientific research. Together, they reflect on how young researchers navigate obstacles in academia and the marine science community.
