  • Riassunto

  • Welcome to The Core of Everything, the podcast that discusses the basic science behind the fascinating natural world around us, including geology, rocks, earthquakes, volcanoes, rivers, oceans, floods, and so much more! Join Jack and Mark for some down to Earth conversation on the basics of geology and the newest scientific discoveries. Jack is a postdoctoral research scientist at Columbia University in New York and Mark is a PhD student at Imperial College London. Episodes range from the formation of our planet to the resources beneath our feet. The rest is Geology. Enjoy the podcast!

  • 31. Prof. Kris Karnauskas: the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin, and ocean currents

    31. Prof. Kris Karnauskas: the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin, and ocean currents
    Nov 28 2024

    Professor Kris Karnauskas researches atmospheric science and physical oceanography at the University of Colorado Boulder.

    In this episode, we talk about the Galapagos Islands, which were made famous by Charles Darwin’s expedition on the HMS Beagle in 1835, aiding the development of the theory of evolution by natural selection.

    We discuss why the serendipitous location of the Galapagos Islands, in relation to ocean currents, has led to its incredibly diverse wildlife. Not only this, but this small archipelago is crucial in dictating the global climate.

    30. Prof. Paul Olsen: the dawn of the dinosaurs and the Triassic mass extinction
    Nov 14 2024

    Professor Olsen is a paleontologist and stratigrapher at Columbia University.

    In this episode, we cover the Triassic period. From the dawn of the dinosaurs to a mass extinction event, we cover what the climate was like, what dinosaurs were roaming the lands, and how 75% of all life forms were wiped off the face of the planet 200 million years ago.

    29. Dr Jacob Anderson: melting ice sheets, permafrost and DNA
    Oct 25 2024

    In this episode, I chat with Dr Jacob Anderson who is a postdoctoral researcher at the Lamont Doherty Observatory, Columbia University.

    Jacob's research focuses on the ice of Antarctica and Greenland. We discuss how permafrost, permanently frozen ground, can be used to inform us about past climates, including ice sheet retreat and the harmful release of frozen carbon back into the atmosphere. We also cover the preservation of DNA in these environments, which may be up to two million years old.

    We also discuss the possibility of harmful bacteria being re-released into the atmosphere as the ice melts, possibly leading to an apocalyptic global virus.
