Science EN ↓ 6 episodes

Green Tides is a science podcast about coastal resilience , climate change and the future of the world’s coasts. Across five episodes, we follow the science, the people and the ideas shaping more resilient coastlines. We look at how sea-level rise , stronger storms, coastal erosion , pollution and environmental pressure are reshaping coastal areas worldwide, and how communities, researchers and institutions are learning to respond. From ocean literacy and the Digital Twin of the Ocean to island communities, environmental justice and co-designed solutions, each episode turns complex ocean scien...

Co-Designing the Coast: From Science to Shared Solutions - Ep. 5 06.07.2026 17:42

How do we turn coastal science into real-world action? In this final episode of Green Tides, we investigate how co-design, stakeholder engagement and the Partner Alliance Network (PAN) connect scientists, engineers, policymakers, institutions and communities working toward more resilient coastal futures. Looking at two leading European research institutes, we reveal how predictive services, open-s...

Community Resilience in Island States - Ep. 4 29.06.2026 20:07

What does coastal resilience look like for island communities living on the front line of climate change? In this episode of Green Tides, we travel from the Caribbean to the Western Pacific to see how island states face rising seas, stronger storms, coastal erosion, coral reef degradation and rapid urbanisation, often all at once, in what scientists call multi-hazard systems. We dig into why these...

Digital Twin of the Ocean: The New Frontiers of Coastal Science - Ep. 3 22.06.2026 18:04

What if we could test the impact of a storm before it ever reaches the coast? We step inside the Digital Twin of the Ocean: a living, virtual replica of the real ocean, continuously updated with satellite data, coastal sensors, ocean models and artificial intelligence. We explore how digital twins, AI, high-performance computing and forecasting systems help scientists and decision-makers anticipat...

Educating for Coastal Futures: Training the Scientists and Citizens of Tomorrow - Ep. 2 15.06.2026 24:45

How can education protect the future of our coasts? We unpack why ocean literacy is a core pillar of coastal resilience for scientists, citizens, communities, policymakers, and young professionals facing climate and ocean challenges firsthand. We follow learners from Brazil to Nigeria, the Philippines and beyond through DCC-CR programmes such as Co-Growth, COMPASS and the OceanTeacher Global Acade...

Why Coastal Resilience Matters: A Historical and Systemic Perspective 08.06.2026 18:13

What does coastal resilience actually mean? And why does it shape the future of every coastline on Earth? In this opening episode of Green Tides, we trace how coastal resilience moved from a niche term to a global priority, from the 1992 Rio Earth Summit and Agenda 2030 to the UN Ocean Decade. Then we get concrete, exploring how sea-level rise, coastal erosion, pollution and the Law of the Sea (UN...

Trailer 02.06.2026 3:15

What if the coasts we love are changing faster than we think? In the trailer of Green Tides, we set off on a journey into coastal resilience, where climate change, rising seas, intensifying storms and accelerating erosion are reshaping beaches, cliffs, ecosystems and coastal communities around the world. We meet the people, science and projects working to protect what we love asking how coastal en...
