Can we protect the high seas? | Ocean Calls Podcast EP6

Published

on



The ocean makes up 70% of our planet’s surface and yet there’s no comprehensive framework to govern things like resource extraction and conservation in the high seas.

In this episode, we discuss a deal that has been on the United Nations’ table for over 20 years and needs an agreement on how to protect and manage areas beyond national jurisdiction.

Will the deal make richer countries richer and the poorer poorer? Can we agree on how to govern our seas?

To answer these and many other questions, we invited two experts: Alice Vadrot, a political scientist specialised in environmental policies at the University of Vienna, and Julian Jackson, head of the Pew Charitable Trusts European Campaign to protect ocean life on the high seas.

At the end of this episode, you’ll hear an incredible story from Norwegian football player and environmental activist Morten Thorsby about his favourite marine animal.

Hosted by Jeremy Wilks.

Produced by Naira Davlashyan and Natalia Oelsner.

Editing is by Lory Martinez, Chiara Santella and Luis Lopez from Studio Ochenta.

The theme music is by Gabriel Dalmasso.

Our editor-in-chief is Sophie Claudet.

Strasbourg school kid makes astrophysics discovery

Published

on



http://www.euronews.com/ Fifteen year old Neil Ibata has made a scientific discovery that may change the way we understand the nearest ‘large’ galaxy to our own – Andromeda.

The school boy from Strasbourg was doing an internship at the city’s astronomical observatory,
where his father works, when he came across the findings with a new computer programme he had just learnt how to use.

Admitting he hadn’t spent a hundredth of the time using the programme as his father, he says: “We calculated the distance and speed of this galaxy, which allowed me to model it. It was the conclusion of several weeks of work. But we can definitely say I had some beginners luck.”

The new study observes 13 smaller satellite galaxies orbiting around Andromeda in a way similar to how the planets in our solar system orbit around the sun. The galaxies are orbiting on a thin, pancake-like plane at a scale 900 million times larger than our own solar system.

The 15-year-old is featured on the cover of science journal Nature and named as a co-author of the study, however, he says he is not sure about whether he will one day become an astrophysicist.
