It's a rather watery programme this week. First up is a question about the measurement of water in the atmosphere and the impact this has on climate change. Then we descend to the seas, lakes and rivers where those who can spend time relaxing on the water. But are the anti-fouling paints, engine exhausts and various other boating paraphernalia polluting the waters in which we play? One listener wants to know what's eating what in a garden pond. We move onto land to find out whether roadside pollution makes picking blackberries from the verge a hazard? And what links swarms of jellyfish, Himalayan glaciers and a recent poll of the British public? We have a trio of professors lined up to do the answering this week, they are Sue Buckingham - Professor of Social Work at Brunel University; Mike Hulme - Professor of Climate Change at the University of East Anglia and Graham Underwood - Professor of Marine and Freshwater Biology at Essex University. The programme is presented by Richard Daniel Producer: Toby Murcott A Pier production for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4.
