Take a break, we’re on Smoko! This week I sat down with the brilliant Dr. Becky Robinson, a professor of oceanography at the University of Rhode Island. Specializing in marine geology and geochemistry, Dr. Robinson delves into the intricacies of marine nitrogen and its critical role in the global carbon cycle and climate change.
We discuss Dr. Robinson's fascinating journey of discovering her passion for oceanography, starting from her unexpected shift from biology to geology and leading to her love for marine science. We explore the complexities of the marine nitrogen cycle, explaining how nitrogen is transformed and moved through the ocean, its impact on ecosystems, and its connection to the global carbon cycle and climate change. Dr. Robinson shares her extensive fieldwork experiences and adventures on marine expeditions, including her memorable and challenging "best worst cruise ever" in the Southern Ocean.
The conversation also touches on the importance of scientific ocean drilling, the benefits of a globally oriented science program, and the uncertain future of this vital research post-JR. Additionally, they discuss the need for cultural shifts in fieldwork to make it more equitable and accessible, highlighting the importance of creating safe and inclusive environments for all scientists.
Whether you're a seasoned scientist or just curious about the mysteries of the ocean, this episode is packed with insights and stories that highlight the incredible work being done to better understand our planet. Tune in, take a break, and join us on Smoko!
