In his 30+ years of experience as a science reporter, Miles claims that scientists’ reaction to the “sea curtain solution” to the melting Thwaites (or Doomsday) Glacier is the most vehement he has ever seen. He goes into the reasons behind this, how a 10 foot rise in sea levels would change our world, and a peek into life onboard a ship at the bottom of the world.

Miles reflects on the once in a lifetime experience of touching a sedated jaguar in Argentina. Her name was Acai, and she was part of Tomkins Conservation’s ongoing efforts to reintroduce jaguars to the Iberá Wetlands, where they are locally extinct. He dives into the rewilding efforts of South Africa, which set the standard for the work that Rewilding Argentina is doing now.

In this episode, we dive into the politics of the offshore wind industry in New Bedford, Massachusetts - practically in Miles’s own backyard. A town once known for its whaling industry is now becoming the poster child for renewable energy. In the television episode, we see Miles in action as a pilot, and here on the podcast, he tells us all about his and his family’s history in the sky.

In this episode, we’ll learn about the problem-solvers in Phoenix and Sydney trying to make life better by managing the increasingly high temperatures. Miles shares his experiences of sitting in a heat chamber that simulated the 1995 Chicago heat wave. We also learn about the surprising role the Australian Open played in developing heat research.

In this episode, we learn that problem-solvers also come in the form of furry little construction workers: beavers. Miles talks about the role beavers fill in the American West and what happens when the so-called “beaver haters” eradicate them. He also looks at innovations in technology and the price tag that often comes with them.

In this first episode, Elise and Miles talk about a surprising solution to methane emissions that come in the form of cow burps. The solution? Seaweed in cow feed. Miles recounts his decades-long friendship with the innovator behind this solution, Joan Salwen, and talks about how the purpose of Resolve to Solve is to get to know the people behind the science..
