Powerful Antioxidant Compounds that Help Algae Respond to Environmental Stressors

Season 2 · Episode 17

Monday, June 1, 2026 • Duration 26:37

In this episode, I’m joined by Sara Roosvall, a marine science researcher and hobby artist currently studying in the Marine Ecology Programme at Nord University.Sara holds two Bachelor of Science degrees in Marine Science and Biology from University of Gothenburg. Her research focuses on brown algae and the role of phlorotannins — powerful antioxidant compounds that help algae respond to environmental stressors such as light, UV radiation, temperature, and salinity.In her work, Sara has studied three species of brown algae and compounds that are not only important for the survival of algae in changing marine environments, but are also attracting interest from the cultivation and pharmaceutical industries because of their potential health-related properties in humans.Alongside her thesis research, Sara also explored how algae change their antioxidant and pigment levels with age. Her curiosity led her even further into marine pigments when she began experimenting with sea urchin shells, discovering delicate purple-pink tones hidden inside after milling them.

Genetic Data to understand Biodiversity

Season 2 · Episode 18

Monday, May 18, 2026 • Duration 44:16

In this episode, I’m joined by Cornelia Pia Erk, a marine biologist and conservation geneticist working at the intersection of molecular ecology, field research, and ocean conservation.

Originally from southern Germany, Cornelia’s journey into marine science began through diving—an experience that shaped her understanding of marine ecosystems long before she entered the lab. She went on to study biology at the University of Regensburg and later specialized in marine biology during her Master’s at the University of Algarve.

Her work focuses on using genetic data to understand biodiversity, population connectivity, and species boundaries—key information for protecting marine life in a rapidly changing ocean. She has a particular interest in cartilaginous fishes, including sharks, rays, and chimaeras—an evolutionarily ancient group that remains surprisingly understudied.

Polar Marine Research

Season 2 · Episode 9

Monday, December 22, 2025 • Duration 01:18:01

In this episode, I’m joined by Mara Rosmann, a marine scientist and PhD researcher at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven. Mara’s journey into ocean sciencebegan with biology studies in Austria, led her through biological oceanography in Germany, and eventually took her to some of the coldest and most remoteplaces on Earth—the polar oceans. Her research focuses on how carbon moves through the ocean along the East Antarctic margin, especially in regions where warm deep waters meet ice shelves. By joining ship-based expeditions in the Arctic and using natural tracers like radiocarbon, Mara helps us better understand how Antarctica & the Arctic influence Earth’s climate—and how this system may be changing. I’m excited to explore her journey, her work, and what it all means for our planet.thumbnail photo by: Marcel NicolausMaras IG: croft_maraSabines IG: sabinemprobstPodcast IG: impact.storytelling.podcast

Underwater Noise - one of the ocean’s most pervasive pollutants

Season 2 · Episode 7

Monday, November 24, 2025 • Duration 01:06:16

In this episode host, Sabine M. Probst Saavedra, ocean conservation storyteller and organisation director, speaks with Dr. Nicole Todd, a postdoctoral researcher dedicated to understanding how harbor porpoises live, move, and communicate in Ireland’s coastal waters.Through her research on acoustic monitoring, Nicole studied how underwater noise, one of the ocean’s most pervasive pollutants, affects these sensitive animals. Her work is helping shape how marine protected areas are managed, how we design offshore developments responsibly, and how we can balance renewable energy growth with the wellbeing of marine life.We talked about what it means to listen to the ocean, literally, how sound reveals patterns of porpoise behavior, and how her research is guiding European conservation policy. Because protecting these small cetaceans isn’t just about science, it’s about stewardship: learning to share the sea in a way that allows all life to thrive.IG: impact.storytelling.podcast

Japanese Sea Otter Foraging Behavior & Prey Preferences

Season 2 · Episode 6

Monday, November 10, 2025 • Duration 54:18

In this episode, I am joined by Samantha Hamilton, a marine biologist whose work dives deep into this remarkable recovery. Samantha is a PhD researcher studying sea otter foraging behavior, prey preferences, and ecological impact at Cape Kiritappu, one of the few places in Japan where sea otters have reestablished a permanent population. Her research marks one of the first efforts to understand how these endangered animals are shaping Hokkaido’s coastal ecosystems as they return.Beyond her doctoral work, Samantha is also part of Sea Otter Savvy, a California-based conservation and outreach program dedicated to protecting southern sea otters and promoting responsible wildlife viewing. Through her work on both sides of the Pacific, she explores how science, community, and storytelling can come together to support the conservation of one of the ocean’s most beloved species.In this episode, we’ll uncover the story of Japan’s rebounding sea otters, how they hunt, how they heal their habitats, and how researchers like Samantha are working to ensure their survival in a changing world.Because saving sea otters isn’t just about science, it’s about rebuilding connections between species, coasts, and cultures.Samantha's IG: rakko.researchSabines IG: sabinemprobstImpact Storytelling IG: impact.storytelling.podcastSeen Blue Conservation IG: seenblue_org

Marine Social Science with Jessica Giannoumis

Season 2 · Episode 5

Monday, October 27, 2025 • Duration 01:25:24

In this episode I am joined by Jessica Giannoumis is a marine social scientist and passionate advocate for our ocean. With a PhD in Marine Innovation and Blue Growth from University College Cork, she works at the intersection of science, community, and industry to explore how we can build a more sustainable relationship with the sea. Currently, Jessica is the Aquatech Community Manager for Hatch Blue in Ireland, where she helps connect startups, researchers, and industry leaders to drive innovation in aquaculture and the blue bioeconomy. Beyond her professional role, she’s an enthusiastic ocean explorer, whether it’s whale watching, snorkeling with dolphins and sharks, surfing in Ireland’s coasts, or simply sharing stories that spark curiosity about the marine world. For Jessica, the ocean isn’t just a subject of study, it’s a source of inspiration, adventure, and solutions for the future.Support the Podcast on Patreon www.patreon.com/ImpactStorytellingPodcastConnect with Jessica: jessica@hatch.blueSabines IG: sabinemprobst Podcast IG: impact.storytelling.podcast

Poisoned by the Menu - How what Killer Whales Eat Shapes their Toxic Load

Season 2 · Episode 2

Monday, September 15, 2025 • Duration 51:26

In today's episode, we will hear from Clare Andvik, a PhD researcher based at the University of Oslo in Norway, working with the Norwegian Orca Survey.Her research focuses on pollutants accumulating in killer whales, particularly how what they eat shapes their toxic load. During her master's thesis, Clare and her coauthors showed that orcas that eat seals, in addition to fish, have much higher levels of toxic pollutants like PCBs and mercury, meaning they are more at risk of health effects. During her PhD, she is now looking at what the effect of this pollution is on the health of killer whales, and how it interacts with other human-made stressors like whale watching and climate change. Today, we’ll dive into her work that combines the fields of biology, toxicology, and feeding ecology, all while braving the icy conditions of Norway's northern fjords to get data from live whales.
