Revealing Hidden Depths - the Seabed 2030 Podcast
Monthly podcast about the Nippon Foundation - GEBCO 'Seabed 2030' Project - an international project to map the global seafloor by 2030, endorsed as a flagship UN Ocean Decade Programme.
Each month we bring news about the project, interviews with our ocean mapping community and updates about the technology and methods used.

Revealing Hidden Depths - the Seabed 2030 Podcast
Seabed 2030 Podcast 4 - Larry Mayer, Kate Larkin, Challenger Legacy & COP28 update
Episode 4 of the Seabed 2030 Podcast features 3 interviews - first up Seabed 2030 Head of Partnerships Steve Hall interviews Professor Larry Mayer during the 5th Arctic-Antarctic & North Pacific Mapping Meeting that took place in Bremen, Germany, 27-29 November 2023.
Larry is somewhat of a legend in the seabed mapping community and is a Professor and Founding Director of the School of Marine Science and Ocean Engineering and the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping (CCOM) at the University of New Hampshire. See https://seabed2030.org/people/larry-mayer/ for more about him. In this short interview recorded in a corridor during a coffee break (apologies for noisy background!) Larry talks about Seabed 2030, the new technologies coming to ocean mapping, and about his recent survey work in the North Pacific.
Next up Steve has taken the train straight from Bremen down to Brussels to attend the EMODnet Open Conference where he speaks to EMODnet Director Dr Kate Larkin about what EMODnet is, and how the community works with Seabed 2030 to help deliver the global ocean map.
Third section is a repost of the HMS Challenger Legacy webinar that took place in October, where Peter Tuddenham and Hermione Cockburn interview Steve and author Laura Trethewey about the the ongoing legacy of the HMS Challenger expedition that was taking place 150 years ago, and paved the way for the science of oceanography - and seabed mapping!
Finally Steve gives an overview of Seabed 2030's activities during COP28, where several of our team and supporters from industry, governments and academia were present to argue the case for seabed mapping.
We hope you enjoy this episode of the Podcast and will join us again in 2024, Episode 6 will go live by mid-January.
