S2:E2: Laura Toran: Urban Water, Flooding, and What’s Beneath Our Cities

Hosted by Gevorg Ghazaryan, Talking Environment is a series of conversations that grew from the work of the Maqoor Environmental NGO. It brings together a community of dedicated advocates and thinkers who are deeply engaged with the natural world. Rather than presenting lectures, this podcast captures the dynamic exchange of ideas between environmentalists, academics, and specialists from many disciplines. You’ll hear discussions that move from the broad concepts of sustainability and ecological conservation to the urgent, specific realities of climate change and protecting biodiversity. The strength of this podcast lies in its access to genuine experts who offer grounded, often surprising, perspectives on the challenges and solutions shaping our planet. Each episode feels like sitting in on a thoughtful dialogue, where complex topics are broken down with clarity and a shared sense of purpose. For anyone curious about the science, policy, and personal stories behind environmental work, these conversations provide a meaningful and informative listen. Tune in to hear how different voices connect the dots between local action and global impact.
