Dec 19, 2023 · Shipwrecks can also negatively affect associated marine life. When shipwrecks sink, they land on natural habitats (e.g., sand, vegetation, reef) and can alter or destroy those habitats and their associated biota (Mancini et al. 2019 , van der Schyff et al. 2020 ); such impacts have been well documented for ship grounding events on coral reefs (Schroeder et al. 2008 , Raymundo et al. 2018 ).

Hear from a volcanologist, a marine biologist, and Alvin’s senior pilot about how the iconic sub enables scientific discovery in the far reaches of Earth’s ocean. In this episode, we take a look at the radiation all around us—its natural sources, its human applications, and their impacts on us and our environment.
