1 00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:02,480 hello and welcome to being 2 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:04,710 with NASA my name is I am in 3 00:00:10,820 --> 00:00:07,170 Argueta and today I am going to prepare one of my 4 00:00:12,980 --> 00:00:10,830 favorite dishes, the Peruvian ceviche. 5 00:00:15,530 --> 00:00:12,990 What many people do not know about NASA is 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:15,540 that we play an important role in 7 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:17,970 helping to maintain the health of 8 00:00:23,660 --> 00:00:20,930 fisheries using satellite data 9 00:00:26,599 --> 00:00:23,670 with that scientific data you can 10 00:00:28,820 --> 00:00:26,609 look at something like the color of the ocean and 11 00:00:31,609 --> 00:00:28,830 determine the health and state of 12 00:00:34,190 --> 00:00:31,619 different populations of fish like 13 00:00:36,470 --> 00:00:34,200 this white fish that I am going to use today and 14 00:00:39,470 --> 00:00:36,480 to tell us about all this 15 00:00:41,420 --> 00:00:39,480 laura is with me lorenzón and scientist of the 16 00:00:43,850 --> 00:00:41,430 oceanic biology and 17 00:00:47,779 --> 00:00:43,860 biogeochemistry program at nasa central office 18 00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:47,789 hello laura how are you now I 19 00:00:53,869 --> 00:00:51,120 know how you are doing very well thanks for 20 00:00:55,790 --> 00:00:53,879 joining us first of all tell me 21 00:00:58,760 --> 00:00:55,800 you like ceviche 22 00:01:02,000 --> 00:00:58,770 I love it my husband prepares it with 23 00:01:04,399 --> 00:01:02,010 mango and it is absolutely delicious very 24 00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:04,409 good very good so first of all 25 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:07,110 talking a bit about why nasa 26 00:01:11,630 --> 00:01:09,090 studies the ocean and what does that have to do 27 00:01:13,340 --> 00:01:11,640 with ceviche well you will know that 28 00:01:15,830 --> 00:01:13,350 17 percent of the world population 29 00:01:18,230 --> 00:01:15,840 depends on the ocean for their 30 00:01:20,149 --> 00:01:18,240 daily protein and we want to make sure 31 00:01:22,399 --> 00:01:20,159 that our marine resources are 32 00:01:24,740 --> 00:01:22,409 being maintained not only for us 33 00:01:26,570 --> 00:01:24,750 but for our future populations and 34 00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:26,580 since the sea covers two thirds of 35 00:01:31,310 --> 00:01:28,680 our planet it is also important to 36 00:01:33,980 --> 00:01:31,320 make sure that we are using it 37 00:01:37,130 --> 00:01:33,990 well and it plays a fundamental role in 38 00:01:38,810 --> 00:01:37,140 our climate The ocean absorbs heat and 39 00:01:41,389 --> 00:01:38,820 through ocean currents 40 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:41,399 redistributes it around the rest of the 41 00:01:45,529 --> 00:01:43,530 planet, but as the 42 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:45,539 climate changes, our ocean also changes, which is 43 00:01:49,340 --> 00:01:47,490 why it is very important to observe it, 44 00:01:51,710 --> 00:01:49,350 because these changes can also 45 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:51,720 impact fishing and the UNACE mission 46 00:01:57,050 --> 00:01:54,450 in reality is to understand how 47 00:01:59,630 --> 00:01:57,060 the earth works as a clear system an 48 00:02:01,470 --> 00:01:59,640 entire system if i know that nasa observes 49 00:02:04,860 --> 00:02:01,480 the color of the ocean from it 50 00:02:07,290 --> 00:02:04,870 empty right what does that mean 51 00:02:09,690 --> 00:02:07,300 exactly what you hear what color 52 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:09,700 is the water the color of our waters 53 00:02:13,650 --> 00:02:12,130 is impacted by what is dissolved 54 00:02:16,620 --> 00:02:13,660 or what is suspended in it 55 00:02:19,050 --> 00:02:16,630 then the satellites work just 56 00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:19,060 as our eyes work and 57 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:21,910 we can see if there is something 58 00:02:26,970 --> 00:02:24,010 different in terms of the color of the water 59 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:26,980 for example if we see a large stain or 60 00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:29,490 large areas of green We can 61 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:32,080 assume that this is a 62 00:02:37,410 --> 00:02:35,170 very healthy population of phytoplankton now that with 63 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:37,420 the phytoplankton, well, the zooplankton and 64 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:39,490 that he started planting, well, the 65 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:41,290 small fish and who eats the 66 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:42,970 small fish at times bigger 67 00:02:47,460 --> 00:02:44,290 then YouTube 68 00:02:48,860 --> 00:02:47,470 you understand more or less how everything is 69 00:02:51,350 --> 00:02:48,870 connected at 70 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:51,360 other times We can also see what 71 00:02:56,509 --> 00:02:53,810 we call several red 72 00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:56,519 phytoplankton expansions, which in this 73 00:03:01,220 --> 00:02:58,170 case is toxic because they produce toxins 74 00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:01,230 in coastal areas where many people 75 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:03,000 go, this can be a problem for 76 00:03:07,309 --> 00:03:04,890 local health not only for people but 77 00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:07,319 also for ecosystems. how 78 00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:09,510 interesting that the color of the ocean 79 00:03:15,710 --> 00:03:12,870 gives us so much information and what impact does 80 00:03:17,899 --> 00:03:15,720 the observation of the color of the ocean have and the 81 00:03:21,619 --> 00:03:17,909 health of the ecosystems in the 82 00:03:23,839 --> 00:03:21,629 fisheries all by seeing phytoplankton the 83 00:03:25,789 --> 00:03:23,849 fisheries the fish depend on 84 00:03:28,580 --> 00:03:25,799 lotito planto which is the base the base of 85 00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:28,590 the trophic chain and it also helps us 86 00:03:32,660 --> 00:03:30,480 understand where the fish may be 87 00:03:34,670 --> 00:03:32,670 because of course we depend on the 88 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:34,680 fish that are caught to be able to 89 00:03:39,589 --> 00:03:37,370 consume them and we know that the fish 90 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:39,599 have are the favorites so 91 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:41,730 we can use other data such as 92 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:43,530 sea surface temperature or 93 00:03:47,479 --> 00:03:45,930 altitude of the sea to know in which areas 94 00:03:50,210 --> 00:03:47,489 maybe the good fish will be 95 00:03:52,580 --> 00:03:50,220 found to get food 96 00:03:55,130 --> 00:03:52,590 all our data is free and 97 00:03:57,110 --> 00:03:55,140 open to the public 98 00:03:59,930 --> 00:03:57,120 therefore we love that people 99 00:04:02,660 --> 00:03:59,940 use the zipi and our users are 100 00:04:04,310 --> 00:04:02,670 very varied from the scientists who 101 00:04:06,590 --> 00:04:04,320 generate these algorithms and other 102 00:04:08,510 --> 00:04:06,600 research, but also the public 103 00:04:11,210 --> 00:04:08,520 in general, we have non- 104 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:11,220 profit organizations, private entities, educators, 105 00:04:15,740 --> 00:04:13,290 children, we love it when real people take 106 00:04:19,370 --> 00:04:15,750 advantage of NASA data to 107 00:04:22,099 --> 00:04:19,380 better understand and protect 108 00:04:25,130 --> 00:04:22,109 and use it wisely. sustainable our 109 00:04:27,860 --> 00:04:25,140 ocean yes it seems like a very 110 00:04:32,060 --> 00:04:27,870 important investigation since we depend so much on the 111 00:04:34,190 --> 00:04:32,070 ocean our ocean is gigantic 70% 112 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:34,200 of our planet it is not for nothing we call 113 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:37,170 our planet our blue planet and 114 00:04:42,170 --> 00:04:39,690 we are all interconnected with the 115 00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:42,180 ocean did you know that at least half 116 00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:44,310 of The oxygen that we breathe comes 117 00:04:48,620 --> 00:04:46,560 from the sea generated by phytoplankton and 118 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:48,630 other marine algae. It is important 119 00:04:52,970 --> 00:04:50,730 to remember that we are all 120 00:04:55,510 --> 00:04:52,980 interconnected and whatever I 121 00:04:58,719 --> 00:04:55,520 do on land, for example, 122 00:05:00,820 --> 00:04:58,729 where I put my waste or the 123 00:05:03,850 --> 00:05:00,830 fertilizers that I put on the land, 124 00:05:05,710 --> 00:05:03,860 all of that Somehow or another it 125 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:05,720 eventually reaches the ocean through 126 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:08,090 our rivers that connect the continent 127 00:05:13,180 --> 00:05:11,210 to the ocean and from the coastal zone which is 128 00:05:15,610 --> 00:05:13,190 an area where there is a lot of population 129 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:15,620 that eventually reaches the 130 00:05:20,290 --> 00:05:17,930 open ocean and the ocean played an 131 00:05:20,290 --> 00:05:21,250 important role in regulating the earth's climate 132 00:05:25,730 --> 00:05:22,460 [Music] 133 00:05:28,010 --> 00:05:25,740 not only absorbs heat and redistributes it 134 00:05:30,230 --> 00:05:28,020 but also absorbs 135 00:05:32,420 --> 00:05:30,240 carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and the fact 136 00:05:34,370 --> 00:05:32,430 that we haven't absorbed that much 137 00:05:37,460 --> 00:05:34,380 carbon dioxide 138 00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:37,470 in the last of the last 100 years has It has 139 00:05:41,870 --> 00:05:39,510 helped our climate change to 140 00:05:43,670 --> 00:05:41,880 be much slower if in the ocean 141 00:05:46,130 --> 00:05:43,680 our temperatures would be much 142 00:05:47,900 --> 00:05:46,140 higher and in NASA we have been 143 00:05:50,860 --> 00:05:47,910 studying the role that the ocean has 144 00:05:52,790 --> 00:05:50,870 in climate change, especially 145 00:05:55,910 --> 00:05:52,800 trying to understand what is this 146 00:05:58,720 --> 00:05:55,920 connection between human influences and 147 00:06:01,310 --> 00:05:58,730 how our planet has been changing 148 00:06:03,230 --> 00:06:01,320 and one of the missions we are 149 00:06:06,050 --> 00:06:03,240 working on what is the plantar mission 150 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:06,060 airshow cloud in evolution and constance or 151 00:06:11,140 --> 00:06:08,250 pace for its acronym in English is going to 152 00:06:13,340 --> 00:06:11,150 help us is a new mission is 153 00:06:15,650 --> 00:06:13,350 hyperspectral what it means is 154 00:06:17,090 --> 00:06:15,660 that we are seeing more colors of the 155 00:06:19,670 --> 00:06:17,100 ocean than we can see right now, that 156 00:06:22,130 --> 00:06:19,680 is, it will be truly revolutionary and it will 157 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:22,140 allow us to better understand what 158 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,120 type of phytoplankton is there. 159 00:06:31,850 --> 00:06:30,140 Right now it's not, I do 160 00:06:34,610 --> 00:06:31,860 n't know, it's a bit difficult to distinguish 161 00:06:37,370 --> 00:06:34,620 between the two with pace looking towards the 162 00:06:37,370 --> 00:06:40,040 ocean. 163 00:06:48,830 --> 00:06:46,820 so much to do 164 00:06:51,710 --> 00:06:48,840 with getting this fish to 165 00:06:53,570 --> 00:06:51,720 prepare a dish like ceviche and the 166 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:53,580 satellites again as our 167 00:06:58,370 --> 00:06:55,530 relative is so big and we have so many 168 00:07:01,040 --> 00:06:58,380 oceans come a critical role to 169 00:07:03,110 --> 00:07:01,050 really be able to observe the changes that 170 00:07:05,180 --> 00:07:03,120 occur day by day and those that occur over the 171 00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:05,190 long term and this is important because it 172 00:07:08,990 --> 00:07:07,110 allows us to avoid being better 173 00:07:10,530 --> 00:07:09,000 prepared for the changes that are 174 00:07:13,140 --> 00:07:10,540 to come 175 00:07:16,110 --> 00:07:13,150 and that is exactly where food security also comes into play. 176 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:16,120 In 177 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:18,130 fact, one of the fisheries in Costa 178 00:07:21,690 --> 00:07:20,170 Rica is part of the early adoption program 179 00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:21,700 of the data from pace which 180 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:24,160 means that before page launches 181 00:07:28,230 --> 00:07:25,690 they are ready to be able to 182 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:28,240 incorporate this type of data into 183 00:07:33,420 --> 00:07:31,570 local fisheries and we really 184 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:33,430 are very lucky to have the 185 00:07:37,980 --> 00:07:35,290 support of scientists and users who 186 00:07:39,930 --> 00:07:37,990 are always pushing the limits of what 187 00:07:43,110 --> 00:07:39,940 that shows and our technology can 188 00:07:44,370 --> 00:07:43,120 do incredible, a lot is being done 189 00:07:47,550 --> 00:07:44,380 right now in the world of 190 00:07:50,730 --> 00:07:47,560 ocean monitoring and this ceviche 191 00:07:57,220 --> 00:07:50,740 is almost ready but we can't 192 00:08:03,100 --> 00:08:00,160 and to assemble the dish I'm just going to put 193 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:03,110 some slices of sweet potato some 194 00:08:22,850 --> 00:08:18,800 some chopped onion cilantro and the 195 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:27,200 and here we have it looks delicious thank you so much for 196 00:08:30,939 --> 00:08:29,250 the time I can't thank you 197 00:08:34,100 --> 00:08:30,949 enough for being here with us 198 00:08:35,630 --> 00:08:34,110 cheers for this ceviche for all the 199 00:08:38,269 --> 00:08:35,640 science it takes for lunch 200 00:08:41,540 --> 00:08:38,279 today and also how 201 00:08:44,149 --> 00:08:41,550 the ocean and earth systems are connected 202 00:08:48,130 --> 00:08:44,159 thank you jocelyn please thank you 203 00:08:50,690 --> 00:08:48,140 now i want potato ceviche and i'll pass it on to you 204 00:08:53,930 --> 00:08:50,700 thank you for joining us where hopefully
