Welcome to the first episode of Carry the Two’s collaboration with the American Geophysical Union’s Third Pod from the Sun!

In this episode, we get our feet wet with physical oceanographer, Maike Sonnewald. Maike explains how the ocean currents interplay with our warming atmosphere and what that means for our climate. Using machine learning to build climate models, Maike analyzes how things like greenhouse gases are warming our oceans and changing the pattern of currents.

And don’t forget to listen to Maike’s work through a geophysical lens, over at Third Pod from the Sun!
