Exploring Ocean Floors from Earth out to distant stars. Later in the show, we’re going to be talking with Catherine Musemeche, author of Lethal Tides, a new biography telling the story of pioneering oceanographer Mary Sears.

Earth is an ocean world, with water covering roughly three-quarters of the surface of our planet. 

Despite the abundance of oceans around the globe, only a small percentage of the ocean floor has been explored. In many ways, exploring ocean floors on Earth is significantly more challenging than studying other worlds.
