About this listen

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.

  • COP30: Green Power with Carola Mejía

    COP30: Green Power with Carola Mejía
    Jan 13 2026
    COP30’s biggest fault lines, explained. In this final installment of our COP30 arc, we zoom out from Belém to map the conference’s defining tensions: ambitious speeches versus stalled outcomes, science-led urgency versus market-led “solutions,” and the growing leadership of the Global South. We unpack why carbon markets remain so contested, what “net zero” really allows, and how China’s energy transition is reshaping the politics of global climate action. Then we go deep on the Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF)—a headline proposal to pay nations to keep forests standing—through a clear-eyed climate justice critique from Carola Mejía of LATINDADD. We close with what COP30 did (and didn’t) deliver—and what to watch next.Support our science communication by joining us on Patreon or sending us a gift on PayPal10 New Insights in Climate ScienceNation articleNo mention of fossil fuels1600 + fossil fuel lobbyists at COP 30Indigenous FlotillaClimate Home News Indigenous access to COP30Climate Tracker ReportEpisode Guest: Carola MejíaLatindaddTFFF: A False SolutionAsamblea Against the TFFFDevex: TFFF Origin Story Hosted, produced, and edited by Clark Marchese Cover art by Jomiro EmingTheme music by Nela RuizFollow Pine Forest Media on Instagram @pineforestmedia and find more resources on our websiteFind some more Pine Forest Media podcasts below:Listen to South Pole on Spotify or Apple PodcastsListen to Plastic Podcast on Spotify or Apple PodcastsListen to Something in the Water on Spotify or Apple Podcasts Hosted on Acast.

  • COP30: Oceans on the Rise?

    COP30: Oceans on the Rise?
    Dec 23 2025

    The ocean took center stage at COP30. This episode of Oceanography explores how ocean science, policy, and lived experience shaped the climate conversations at COP30 in Belém, Brazil. From marine carbon dioxide removal and blue carbon ecosystem restoration to funding gaps and governance challenges, the episode traces how the ocean is increasingly framed as both a climate solution and a site of urgent risk. It also examines what COP30 delivered for the ocean, where progress was made, where ambition fell short, and why adaptation, finance, and follow-through remain unresolved. Grounded in reporting from the Ocean Pavilion and informed by broader analysis, this episode reflects on what it really means for oceans to rise on the global climate agenda.

    COP30: Belém Amazônia with Catarina Nefertari and Danilo Pontes
    Dec 16 2025

    Voices from Belém

    COP30 brought global climate negotiations to Belém, a city where the Amazon meets the sea. This episode offers a grounded introduction to the conference by centering the people who live there. Activist Catarina Nefertari and artist and event producer Danilo Pontes share what the event meant for their communities, the environmental challenges facing Pará, and how local experiences shape the wider climate conversation. This is the first part of a three-episode COP30 series, providing essential context on the host city before turning to ocean science and international negotiation dynamics in the episodes ahead.
