Episode notes

There are two main ways de ation is happening. There 's multi stage flash distillation, which uses heat to evaporate water and leaves the salt behind. Some folks are working on low temperature heata on too, which might work with clean solar power. But for now, i guess the point is you have to burn fuels to heat the water or to pump it. It's costly in terms of energy consumption and a carbon output.

THIS IS UPLIFTING, I PROMISE. And it might just make you switch careers. As a bookend to last week's Oceanology episode, Conservation Technologist Shah Selbe chats about saving the planet with some well-intentioned technology. Wind turbines, solar cars, and all the ways in which sensors, drones, recycled smartphones and real-time data reporting can help conserve species, spaces and communities that are threatened. Hear inspiring tales of travel, art, adventure and putting engineering to good use from a former rocket-science turned professional do-gooder.

Also discussed: crocodile astrology, fishing vests and hippo power displays.
