The Infiltration Game - Soils and Flooding Nov 09, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, we tackle the issue of infiltration capacity. The idea came to us in the form of a listener question due to recent events. Infiltration capacity is simply a way of describing the ability of soil and regolith to soak up water during storm events that drop a lot of rain in a short period of time. There are several variables that must be accounted for in describing the infiltration capacity for a given area. Humans have also caused a significant change related to this topic. Join us in this fun conversation that has a lot of relevance in todays world.

Chris and Jesse Finally Agree Sep 28, 2023

Show notes

This week, we are asking you to do us a favor. We are really exited because we just launched our brand new campGeo mobile app. So, we would really appreciate if you clicked on This Link, downloaded the campGeo mobile app, and left us a rating and review on there.
This week we talk about the origin of this concept, why we are excited about this mobile app, and what types of content can be found there today.
Also, if you have suggestions for new types of visual audiobooks please send us an email! Or, if you have a better name for these things than 'visual audiobooks' let us know that too (we are horrible at naming things...)!

Are You Karsty? Sinkholes and Karst Sep 21, 2023

Show notes

Today, Jesse and Chris discuss the distinction between sinkholes and karst topography. There is a surprisingly large portion of the U.S. that has potential to be affected by karst. It is also extremely important as a source of drinking water. We also discuss the distinction between the technical definition of karst and what is called pseudokarst. Below is a link to the article and diagram we allude to in the show. We hope you enjoy.

Geoscience is EVEN MORE Important Sep 14, 2023

Show notes

We get a bit reflective today and discuss the importance of Geoscience to society - and how it has changed in the last three years. Jesse recently went to a conference on economic mining and came away newly excited. If the world is going to make the energy transition, certain elements are critical in allowing us to meet that demand. Today, we talk about the issues surrounding the energy transition and how geoscientists are playing an integral role (and will continue to do so) in society. We hope you enjoy!
