In 2018 a team of scientists, including some from NOC and the University of Sao Paulo, were studying the seafloor around a volcanic plateau known as the Rio Grande Rise when they made an incredible discovery. One of those experts, Professor Bramley Murton, joins the podcast to tell us all about the discovery and gives us the lowdown on what this mystery island might have looked like.

In June 2023, an intense marine heatwave hit the shores of the UK, and while it only lasted two weeks it indicated that these events may be more frequent in the future. NOC's Dr Zoe Jacobs switches roles and takes the hot seat to discuss her recently published paper on the possible effects of marine heatwaves in the UK and the possible consequences to fisheries marine life if we don't research these events further.

While there are many natural hazards endangering the population of the planet, none are more destructive than flooding, with a quarter of the worlds population being exposed to flooding at some point in their lives. The University of Southampton's Professor Ivan Haigh and NOC's Professor Jenny Brown join Dr Zoe Jacobs on Into the Blue to discuss the risks flooding poses to coastal communities in particular and the ways we are mitigating those risks, including the creation of The Centre for Doctoral Training for Resilient Flood Futures (FLOOD-CDT).
