Pod 44 - Leigh Storey, NOC, on the Future of Net Zero Carbon Oceanographic Research

In this episode, our former CEO Steve Hall speaks to Leigh Storey from the NOC. Leigh is an ex-RN submariner now Associate Director of National Marine Facilities at the UK's National Oceanography Centre in Southampton. Leigh is heading up a new programme about net zero carbon oceanographic research capability and talks about the challenges of developing new ways of undertaking research at & under the sea with the lowest possible carbon footprint. This includes new sensors and autonomous systems but also looks at how the research ship fleet can be re-fitted with novel propulsion technology, and eventually be replaced by new ships that are as close to net zero carbon as is technically possible. www.noc.ac.uk/projectsFind out more about SUT at www.sut.org, contact us via [email protected] more information on how to sponsor an upcoming podcast episode contact [email protected] Thanks to Emily Boddy for podcast artwork and composing and performing the theme music. Support the show (https://www.justgiving.com/soc-underwatertech)Support the show
