About this listen
In this episode of The Coastal Call, host Rob Nazarian welcomes Dr. Frank Nitsche of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and the Columbia University Climate School, along with Professor Tyler Griffin, assistant professor of biology at Fairfield, for a conversation about what the seafloor can teach us about Earth’s past, and what it can reveal about our future. Dr. Nitsche breaks down marine geophysics, from sonar mapping and seismic tools to the power of 3D data visualization. He shares fieldwork insights from Long Island Sound, the Hudson River, and Antarctica, including how scientists reconstruct glacial retreat to strengthen today’s ice-sheet models. The episode also explores emerging tools like AI, big-data workflows, and autonomous vehicles, along with advice for students interested in research careers.
