  • The Sugar Daddy of LNG.
    All Gassed Up, Part 3: The Sugar Daddy of LNG
    Carlyle Calhoun
    One country has been on the LNG train the longest… and doesn’t plan on getting off. But if the global gas industry continues to expand, what does that mean for the rest of us?

    All Gassed Up, Part 2: The German Connection
    Carlyle Calhoun
    Until the Ukraine War, Russia was Europe’s biggest supplier of natural gas. After the invasion, political leaders wanted off Russian gas, and fast. So, they turned to the U.S. In part two, we follow American gas all the way to Germany — Europe’s biggest energy consumer, where the energy crisis hit hardest. U.S. LNG provided a lifeline for Germany. But what happens when a country gets hooked?

    Halle Parker
    It can be hard to find the bright spots amid an uncertain climate future. But they're there. On Sea Change, we're focusing entirely on solutions — stories about the good.
  • Scientists have observed that Rice's whales have sometimes stopped making their own sounds in the presence of ships.
    The American Whale
    Carlyle Calhoun
    There are only around 51 Rice’s whales left in the world. And they’re the only whale that stays in one country’s territory: they live exclusively in the Gulf of Mexico…in US waters. A uniquely American whale. This also means the responsibility to protect these whales lies with the United States, but are we protecting them?

    Pardon the Intrusion
    Halle Parker
    In this episode, we explore a growing threat to our freshwater supplies in coastal regions all over the country. With climate change, we are experiencing sea-level rise and more frequent droughts, both of which make it easier for saltwater to creep into places we don’t want it.

    Expand Your Blue Mind
    Carlyle Calhoun
    It's summertime. Most of us hope to spend time on the beach, or by a river, or a pool, and we thought we'd try to understand why? Why do we want to be by water, and why does it make us feel so good? And it’s not just us. Understanding how the power of water makes us healthier and happier is actually a growing field of research.
