Join Philippe Cousteau in "Xploration Awesome Planet: Ocean Exploration," a captivating exploration into the mysteries of the ocean. The episode highlights the vital importance of studying our oceans, which cover 71% of Earth, yet only 5% has been explored. Key concepts include oceanography, the phenomenon of ice calving, and the use of high-tech submersibles and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) like the jetyak to conduct research in dangerous environments, such as the Arctic. Discover pioneering research at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on climate change's impact on glaciers and coral reefs. Coral reefs, known as the "Rainforest of the Sea," are critical ecosystems being restored at Nova Southeastern University. The video emphasizes the role of science and technology in understanding and protecting the ocean, making it an essential resource for learning about environmental conservation sciences.
