we’re getting everything ready aboard this ship here the Aleutian research
this ship here the Aleutian research
this ship here the Aleutian research vessel what we’ve got on board Alisha is
vessel what we’ve got on board Alisha is
vessel what we’ve got on board Alisha is we’re good – sobs both subs are
we’re good – sobs both subs are
we’re good – sobs both subs are thousand-meter rated we probably on
thousand-meter rated we probably on
thousand-meter rated we probably on board the ship do the most thousand
board the ship do the most thousand
board the ship do the most thousand meter diving in the water to have this
meter diving in the water to have this
meter diving in the water to have this moment in time but we are just about to
moment in time but we are just about to
moment in time but we are just about to enter there remember the Pamona this is
enter there remember the Pamona this is
enter there remember the Pamona this is a big moment in our trip we’re just
a big moment in our trip we’re just
a big moment in our trip we’re just arriving at the Blue Hole this blue
arriving at the Blue Hole this blue
arriving at the Blue Hole this blue holes about 300 meters across sent us
holes about 300 meters across sent us
holes about 300 meters across sent us about 90 meters deep we’re going along
about 90 meters deep we’re going along
about 90 meters deep we’re going along and mapping this to the sea bottom with
and mapping this to the sea bottom with
and mapping this to the sea bottom with a 90 degree beam underneath the ship you
a 90 degree beam underneath the ship you
a 90 degree beam underneath the ship you can then modify that to make a beautiful
can then modify that to make a beautiful
can then modify that to make a beautiful picture of the sea bottom so what these
picture of the sea bottom so what these
picture of the sea bottom so what these guys are doing is they’re taking core
guys are doing is they’re taking core
guys are doing is they’re taking core samples of this sediment in the bottom
samples of this sediment in the bottom
samples of this sediment in the bottom of these blue holes the idea is to learn
of these blue holes the idea is to learn
of these blue holes the idea is to learn when the Hurricanes have occurred in the
when the Hurricanes have occurred in the
when the Hurricanes have occurred in the past and they can go back almost several
past and they can go back almost several
past and they can go back almost several thousand years if they get down low
thousand years if they get down low
thousand years if they get down low enough and when they cut them open
enough and when they cut them open
enough and when they cut them open they’re looking at layers of sediment
they’re looking at layers of sediment
they’re looking at layers of sediment just as a geologist on land might look
just as a geologist on land might look
just as a geologist on land might look on a mountainside at layers of earth
on a mountainside at layers of earth
on a mountainside at layers of earth that way so this episode is about
that way so this episode is about
that way so this episode is about climate disruption in the sense of
climate disruption in the sense of
climate disruption in the sense of storms hurricanes naming I’m from
storms hurricanes naming I’m from
storms hurricanes naming I’m from Louisiana
Louisiana
Louisiana I know a lot about hurricanes I got
I know a lot about hurricanes I got
I know a lot about hurricanes I got involved because this is a story that
involved because this is a story that
involved because this is a story that needs to be told
needs to be told
needs to be told climate change is real it’s man-made and
climate change is real it’s man-made and
climate change is real it’s man-made and as a result of that we are heating our
as a result of that we are heating our
as a result of that we are heating our oceans to a place where storms are going
oceans to a place where storms are going
oceans to a place where storms are going to be more frequent and that spells
to be more frequent and that spells
to be more frequent and that spells trouble for all of us there’s nowhere
trouble for all of us there’s nowhere
trouble for all of us there’s nowhere else in the world that holds such
else in the world that holds such
else in the world that holds such high-resolution records of these storm
high-resolution records of these storm
high-resolution records of these storm of big bends so being able to look at
of big bends so being able to look at
of big bends so being able to look at these archives into the past truly gives
these archives into the past truly gives
these archives into the past truly gives us a great understanding about how we
us a great understanding about how we
us a great understanding about how we can expect these storms to be changing
can expect these storms to be changing
can expect these storms to be changing as we move to a warmer climate with a
as we move to a warmer climate with a
as we move to a warmer climate with a higher sea level this particular
higher sea level this particular
higher sea level this particular expedition is
expedition is
expedition is a dream come true we’re basically taking
a dream come true we’re basically taking
a dream come true we’re basically taking these submarines down into these giant
these submarines down into these giant
these submarines down into these giant blue holes and studying them when they
blue holes and studying them when they
blue holes and studying them when they bring that thing down and they gently
bring that thing down and they gently
bring that thing down and they gently rested on the seafloor and you realize
rested on the seafloor and you realize
rested on the seafloor and you realize I’m literally 300 feet below the surface
I’m literally 300 feet below the surface
I’m literally 300 feet below the surface of the water what is down there is the
of the water what is down there is the
of the water what is down there is the key to our history and therefore it’s
key to our history and therefore it’s
key to our history and therefore it’s the key to our future
