Remember when we talked about deep ocean circulation? Well, today we're going to talk about how one determined nerd with a bachelor's in Astronomy was the first person to figure out what was going on down there. Henry Stommel solved an ocean mystery, using math, decades before data would exist to support this prediction, and he didn't even have a PhD.

It Came From The Sea (ICFTS)

It Came From the Sea is a podcast started in an attempt to share with the world the amazing, complicated, and infuriating facts about the ocean the host, Sarah, picked up during her time studying at the University of Washington School of Oceanography, and over the course of her lifelong fixation with all things aquatic and salty.   Through the course of this podcast, she will attempt to make the science, politics, and history of the ocean as interesting for her non-oceanographer friends as it is for her.
