Surfacing secrets - Episode 7 - Expedition Antarctica

Episode 7

Friday, April 17, 2026 • Duration 37:50

In this episode of Surfacing Secrets, Balad’EAU transports you to the last wild frontier on the planet: Antarctica. As the "White Sentinel" for our future climate, this frozen region holds critical data, but it doesn’t give up its secrets without a fight.

Hosted by Lyne Morissette, this episode takes you inside a high-stakes Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) mission to install a subsea observatory in one of the most hostile environments on Earth. To get there, the team had to survive the 20-meter waves of the Drake Passage, dodge wandering icebergs, and navigate the logistical puzzle of working 2,000 kilometers away from civilization.

You’ll hear from three key figures at the heart of this expedition:

Dr. Juanjo Dañobeitia, a 40-year veteran of the ice and Director of the European Multidisciplinary Seafloor and water column Observatory (EMSO).
Ruchie Custan, an ONC engineer dubbed the "Antarctic Sherpa" after a grueling mountain ascent.
Bradley Wells, the engineer who built the two-ton steel armor designed to keep the science alive.

From "MacGyvering" equipment in sub-zero gales to the rare sense of solidarity found at the Spanish Juan Carlos I station, this is a raw look at what it actually takes to keep the data flowing in a place that is actively trying to freeze your equipment—and you—to a halt.

Surfacing Secrets - Episode 6 - Scientific Discovery

Episode 6

Wednesday, February 4, 2026 • Duration 36:21

In this episode of Surfacing Secrets, Balad’EAU explores what scientific discovery actually looks like — not as a single “aha” moment, but as a long-term process built on curiosity, observation, and a willingness to pay attention when things get weird.

Hosted by Lyne Morissette, Scientific Discoveries takes you inside Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) to uncover how discoveries emerge when scientists stop chasing answers — and start watching continuously. From marine heatwaves and unexpected ecosystem insights to solar storms interfering with ocean instruments, this episode reveals how long-term data turns surprises into understanding.

You’ll hear from three voices at the heart of ONC’s story:

Richard Dewey, former Science Director at ONC, oceanographer
Kohen Bauer, who works at the intersection of ocean data, tools, and models at ONC
Gwyn Lintern, an early ONC collaborator now with Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), whose work bridges science, risk, and real-world decision-making

Together, they share how ONC evolved from answering scientific questions to generating vast, open datasets that researchers — and government departments — now rely on to understand ocean processes, ecosystem health, and environmental risk.

This episode dives into:

How continuous observation transforms raw data into scientific discovery
Why looking for the weird is often the starting point of real breakthroughs
What marine heatwaves like the Blob revealed about changing ocean conditions
How solar flares were detected deep in the ocean — without anyone looking for them

Surfacing Secrets - Episode 5 - Eyes on Endeavour

Episode 5

Wednesday, December 17, 2025 • Duration 45:30

In this compelling episode of Surfacing Secrets, Balad’EAU takes you deep beneath the Pacific Ocean to one of the most active and closely observed places on Earth: the Endeavour hydrothermal vent field, operated and monitored by Ocean Networks Canada (ONC).

Host Lyne Morissette guides us into the dark, dynamic world of the deep seafloor, where tectonic plates pull apart, superheated fluids rise from the Earth’s crust, and entire ecosystems thrive without sunlight. This episode explores why Endeavour is one of the rare places where scientists don’t just visit the deep ocean — they stay and watch.

Join us as we dive into how long-term, real-time observation has transformed our understanding of geology, chemistry, and life in the deep sea. Through this journey, we uncover why protecting and continuously monitoring a site like Endeavour is essential for understanding how our planet works, far beyond what short expeditions can reveal. You’ll hear exclusive insights from:

Laurence Coogan, Professor and Geochemist, University of Victoria
Steve Mihaly, Senior Staff Scientist, Ocean Networks Canada

We’ll hear firsthand accounts of what it’s like to explore a hydrothermal vent field two kilometres below the surface, how remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) navigate a complex three-dimensional world with limited visibility, and why mapping and working in these environments remains one of the greatest challenges in ocean science. Our guests share their experiences studying a system where geology, chemistry, and biology are constantly changing — and why collaboration across disciplines is essential.

Learn about:

The role of hydrothermal vents in shaping ocean chemistry far beyond the seafloor.
How life can thrive without sunlight through chemosynthesis.
Why long-term, cabled observatories have revolutionized deep-sea science.
How continuous monitoring reveals processes that snapshots can never capture.

Through vivid stories, striking examples, and reflections on exploration, Eyes on Endeavour offers a deep dive into one of the planet’s most dynamic systems — and into the power of staying long enough to truly understand the ocean.

Surfacing secrets - Episode 4 – Arts & Ocean Science

Episode 4

Wednesday, October 29, 2025 • Duration 54:23

What happens when creativity and science share the same current of curiosity?

In this episode, three extraordinary voices from around the world — Parvin Hassani (Iran), Dennis Guppa (Philippines), and Dwight Owens (Canada/Colorado) — come together at Ocean Networks Canada on Vancouver Island. Through sculpture, theatre, and scientific collaboration, they explore how art and science can merge to understand the ocean in new ways.

Parvin, an interdisciplinary sculptor, transforms neural networks and deep-sea hydrothermal vents into living forms of memory.
Dennis, a theatre director and scholar, turns the trauma of Typhoon Haiyan into a performance of resilience and empathy in his creation Gossip with Whales.
And Dwight, ONC’s Manager of Impact and Capacity Development, builds bridges between disciplines through the Art–Science Fellowship, connecting artists with researchers across the Pacific.

This episode also pays tribute to Dr. Kim Juniper, ONC’s visionary Chief Scientist and Professor at the University of Victoria, whose leadership and imagination helped shape this fellowship and inspired a generation of scientists and artists to see the ocean — and each other — through new eyes.

Together, these voices remind us that curiosity flows like water — connecting minds, cultures, and ideas — and that connection itself can become a work of art.
