Short: Understanding the Oceans

For much of history the seas have loomed impossibly large and untouchable. This perception is at odds with the vulnerability of ocean environments. Now, following decades of abuse by a growing human society, a realisation has been reached. The degradation of the world’s oceans has led to several looming crises: plastic pollution, warmer waters and chemical changes are all causing untold damage. But all is not lost, in 2021 the UN launched its Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. A science-led initiative to deliver the ocean we want by 2030, putting data at the heart of efforts to save the seas. This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at Oceanology International 2022.

Episode 14: Ocean Science, Ten Years to Turn the Tide

This is an episode about filling in the gaps. Gaps in our knowledge of the largest environment on the planet, the ocean. Although it is not quite true that we know less about the ocean floor than outer space, it is still the closest thing we have to an alien environment on Earth. And that is a problem. Knowing the depth and shape of the seafloor (bathymetry) is fundamental for understanding ocean circulation, tsunami forecasting, fishing resources, sediment transport, environmental change, underwater hazards, infrastructure construction cable and pipeline routing and more. Seabed 2030 is a scheme to fully map the ocean floor by 2030, from a starting point of just 20%. This interview was conducted live at Oceanology International in London in March, one of the most significant gatherings of marine professionals in the world.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer in the world. In the UK 50% of those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer will die within three months of their diagnosis. Only 7% will survive for five years, the lowest of any common cancer type. We hear from Charles Czajkowski about his battle with pancreatic cancer as an example of what can happen when the response to the disease is done well. We are also joined by Dr. Chris MacDonald from the charity, Pancreatic Cancer UK to understand the research efforts underway to create early diagnosis tools and improve patient outcomes.

One fifth the size of the continental US, Alaska stands as America’s only Arctic state. And when it was founded, Alaska was given a special deal. Too remote for full Federal infrastructure funding, Alaska would have to pay for its own needs from the wealth locked away below its frozen soil.  For many years this worked well, and revenue from mineral resources and hydrocarbons covered up to 90% of the funding needed for government services, but there was a catch. Fluctuating oil revenues made for years of feast and famine for Alaska’s finances. A petroleum company can delay drilling a well, but a community cannot delay teachers’ salaries. Now finding itself in a changing world, Alaska is taking its destiny into its own hands as this state of pioneers looks to adapt to shifting markets, and position itself for an energy revolution.

Episode 10: Sporting Heroes

What does it mean to serve? For most, a career in a military and what it is to be a soldier are complete unknowns. Deployment conjures up images of courage, of danger, and of endurance. Yet the resourcefulness and problem-solving skills that the military imparts to its personnel also makes them a resource to civilian industries. A resource that is often under-appreciated and under-utilised by business. In this episode we speak with two veterans to learn what former soldiers bring to a business. We will understand the obstacles that companies unknowingly put in their way… and what can be done to help businesses benefit from the skillsets of those who have lived a life in uniform.

Mark Heine

Mark Heine has been with Fugro since 2000 and CEO since 2018 and although gathering data about our planet has been his passion since studying geodetic engineering at Delft University, mountaineering is his first love. At just 10 years old Mark conquered his first summit and after that he was hooked. His hobby has taken him to the top of the world’s highest peaks from El Capitan in the US to the most difficult summits in the Alps and Himalayas. It has taught him valuable lessons about staying sharp, managing risk and the importance of friendship. In this episode Jon Baston-Pitt finds out more about the challenges he has overcome and asks: “is it lonely at the top”?HostJon Baston-Pitt, FugroGuestMark Heine, CEO, Fugro Mark Heine’s climbing book Mark Heine at Yosemite in 2000

Episode 8: Climbing Mountains with Mark Heine

We’re in a race against time when it comes to decarbonising energy. Hydrogen could play an important role in the transition but only if we can move to producing it from water instead of natural gas. In this episode we hear from a company that is already working on this with the world’s first pilot project, and find that collaboration is critical to successful deployment.

Episode 7: The Green Hydrogen Transition

Welcome to the Planet Beyond podcast. Brought to you by Fugro, the leading partner in uncovering geo-data from the greatest subsea depths right to outer space and hosted by Jon Baston-Pitt. Planet Beyond is about doing business better in our fast changing, and acutely delicate, yet exquisite, world.  Together we will explore issues beyond the day-to-day challenges; listen to those who should be listened to; seek out what needs to be done and get aligned around the new tomorrow our children deserve and that we have a responsibility to deliver.

By 2050 it is forecast that 75% of global electricity will come from renewable generation making wind energy critical in fighting the climate crisis. In this episode we hear that by sitting out in deep waters floating wind could not only become a viable solution to the energy transition, it can also be a hub for marine life and also a major producer of green hydrogen.

Episode 6: Floating Wind’s Environmental Potential

From the US and Korea to Scotland and Portugal exciting things are happening in the world of wind energy. Instead of building offshore wind farms close to shore, the successful deployment of floating platforms for turbines is opening the vast ocean to renewable energy development.  The Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) predicts commercial deployment of six gigawatts of floating wind energy generation by 2030. But how did we get to this point? In this episode we will learn about the history of wind energy so far; we will learn about the move to offshore, and then the development of floating turbines; finally, we will learn about the changing policy landscape and how the sector developed market and investor confidence.

Episode 5: The rise of Floating Wind

An adventurous spirit in people has made many successful organisations what they are today. To be truly great, we often find these people are guided by a moral compass, possessing core values that provide that relentless pointer to the right way, even when all plans have turned on their head. Fugro’s hydrographic director Mark Sinclair is a man who always knows how to find his way. In 2018 he participated in the Golden Globe Race, a single handed unassisted non-stop around the world race in traditional sailing vessels, using traditional means. No modern technology is permitted, and each skipper is completely alone at sea. In this episode we speak to Mark, known in the sailing community as ‘Captain Coconut’ and Golden Globe Race CEO Don McIntyre to understand what it means to truly embrace adventure and self-reliance. And the importance of continuously testing ourselves. If we never push the boundaries, they will never advance.

Episode 4: Learning from Adventure

We have one planet and one ocean system but its health is in rapid decline. We bring together leading experts to discuss how science could save our oceans. The timing could not be more critical as 2021 saw the launch of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science. The initiative aims to improve our understanding of the world’s largest ecosystem. A wide range of data gathering projects have already begun but there remains much more to do if we are to get the science we need for the ocean we want and reverse the damage that humans have caused.

Introducing Fugro’s Planet Beyond podcast. In this inaugural episode we look at the islands of the South Pacific, whose inhabitants are among the first to experience the hardships of climate change. Sea level rises, coupled with more frequent and more extreme weather events, are impacting the lives of these low-lying coastal communities. We are joined by two experts in disaster relief and coastal resilience to discuss what is currently being done to help these communities, what still needs to be done, and whether there is still time to act.
