Episode 8 - Marine Permaculture: KELP! I NEED SOMEBODY! (Extended Episode)
What is Marine Permaculture?
According to the Climate Foundation, “Kelp forests are one of Earth’s most vibrant biomes and dynamic carbon sinks, drawing down more CO2 from the atmosphere by area than land-based rainforests do. They comprise a major tool in the fight against ocean acidification, climate change and biomass loss and hold the potential to help reverse global warming. In addition, kelp forests are the habitat and foundation of the food chain for countless of the fish and crustaceans many of us consume.” To learn more, please visit their website: www.climatefoundation.org.
Who is Dr. Brian Von Herzen?
Brian Von Herzen obtained his A.B. in Physics, Magna Cum Laude, from Princeton University and his Ph.D. in Computer and Planetary Science from Caltech where he was the recipient of the prestigious Hertz Fellowship (http://www.hertzfoundation.org).
While at Princeton, Brian spent four years working closely with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. At Princeton, his dissertation on global climate models demonstrated how changes in the Earth's orbit affects climate. During his Caltech years Brian worked on models of the overabundance of carbon in Jupiter's atmosphere.
Much of Brian’s career has been in Silicon Valley, where he developed innovative technical solutions for companies like Pixar, Dolby, Microsoft, and others. Among other projects, he designed field programmable gate array (FPGA) applications considered to be among the world’s fastest at the time.
Brian leads projects on land and sea with individuals and groups in all parts of the world, including India, Africa, and the USA. He is the founder of The Climate Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to halting global warming in our lifetime.
His work has also been featured in the new documentary, "2040: Join the Regeneration" You can find out more about him by visiting www.climatefoundation.org.
