Scientists aboard @SchmidtOcean’s Falkor (too) journeyed to the coast of Panama to study the movement of microplastics in the deep sea. Thank you to @benstracy and @CBSMornings for spotlighting how marine science is helping us better understand—and protect—our Ocean.
There are more than 10 billion pounds of microplastics floating in the world’s oceans — and @SchmidtOcean scientists are working to get a deeper look into the crisis.
@benstracy shares why it matters, tomorrow on CBS Mornings.

Would you climb an 18,000-foot glacier to fight climate change? Scientist Lonnie Thompson did. Watch “Canary,” presented by @REI and @OscopeLabs. It was an honor to serve as executive producer. Canary.oscilloscope.net

Watch @SchmidtOcean on @cbssaturday to see how marine science is helping us better understand—and protect—our Ocean. Giving @benstracy a tour of Falkor (too) in Panama was a pleasure.
.@SchmidtOcean's research vessel is changing how scientists study the ocean. @benstracy took a ride on Falkor (too) to see some of the cutting-edge research that is being done.
