In this episode we talk to Will Burt, a chemical oceanographer and Dalhousie alum (PhD’15).



Dr. Burt is the Chief Ocean Scientist at<a href="https://www.planetarytech.com/"> Planetary Technologies</a>, a carbon dioxide removal company headquartered in Nova Scotia. The company partners with Dal researchers to study the efficacy and safety of ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE), a mitigation approach that harnesses the ocean’s natural ability to capture and store CO2 from the atmosphere.



This special alumni episode, done in partnership with Dal’s<a href="https://alumni.dal.ca/events-programs/open-dialogue/"> Open Dialogue Live</a> series, is the final episode of Sciographies’ fifth season. Host David Barclay interviews Dr. Burt about discovering a passion for oceanography, leaving a tenure-track position in academia to work in industry, and what it’s like to be on the frontlines fighting climate change.
