Water Water Everywhere

It's time to get spooky! Listen this week to learn about the history of the mighty Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. Carly uncovers the mysteries hidden in the 4,360,000 cubic yards of solid concrete used to create what was the largest dam in the world. We're talking bodies, ghost towns, and paranormal activity.  So dive in, and let's get wet!  

It's time get spooky in Palmyra. In Part 2, we discuss World War II, hidden treasure, pirates, and an unsolved murder! So dive in and get wet. If you haven't listened to part 1 already, well then,  what are you still doing here? 

Tune to Water Water Everywhere this week to hear Lila's first hand account of sailing to and dropping anchor on the tiny atoll known as Palmyra. She takes us on a deep dive of what makes this place unique so as always, lets get wet!

Dive in and get wet as Carly tells Lila why rainwater is no longer safe to consume. A recent study by the University of Stockholm found that the amount of PFAS present in all rainwater on Earth are beyond safe levels of consumption. PFAS, AKA Forever Chemicals, have been on the scene since 1940 and are found in teflon, fire fighting foam, PIZZA BOXES, and so much more. These chemicals have no problem entering our atmosphere and mixing with rain which in turn enters our streams, lakes, oceans, soil, and groundwater. Listen to learn more and find out how to stay safe out there.

We're back! We missed you and we hope you missed us. Listen to this weeks episode to catch up on what's been happening in the fresh and salt water worlds since we last spoke. From oil spills and deep sea mining all the way to cleaning our water with used beer yeast, there's a lot going on. So, dive in and get wet.

Bottled alkaline water companies have made lots of claims about the effects of drinking water with a higher pH level. Maybe you've heard of its anti aging properties or how it can help fight against cancer. Maybe you've just heard it's better for you than tap water? Either way these claims can have an enormous effect on not only your body but your wallet and the planet. Listen this week to find out whether or not you should be drinking alkaline water. Dive in and get wet!

The nation of Tonga is an archipelago of 169 small islands in Polynesia. It's likely you've never heard of it and even more unlikely you were made aware of one the largest volcano eruptions in history. On December 20, 2021, a set of eruptions began and did not stop until it's very powerful climax on January 15, 2021. The ash cloud soared nearly 36 miles high into the atmosphere, the largest in history. Listen along this week as Lila uncovers what is one of the most insane natural disasters of our time. We give you a history, geography, volcanology, and a tsunami lesson filled with lots of laughs inbetween and of course some very relevent side bars. So learn, listen, laugh along as we take a deep dive into the submarine volcano, Hunga Tonga - Hunga Ha'apai.

Calling all ship nerds, sea fearers, cartography connoisseurs, and Trekkies!!! Boy oh boy do we have an episode for you. Listen this week as Carly and Lila talk to Taylor Krabiel, a Hydrographer for NOAA Corps. We take a DEEP dive into NOAA, life at sea, the ins and outs of ships, and so much more. Carly learns so many new words and we hope that you do too! So dive in and get wet. 

Did you catch the Winter Olympics?? This week we break down the use of artificial snow at the Olympics and its negative effects on the environment.

Beware: after this listening to this episode you may find yourself wanting to hold a baby shark and touch its skin teeth. 

Dr. Cianna Wyshnytzky is a Geologist with the Natural Resources Conservation Service and is a member of the Southwest Drought Learning Network. She talks to us about her journey to becoming a *Doctor*, how majoring in German and Geology helped her end up in the European Alps, and about her current job working with agriculturists in Northern Utah. Listen, learn, and laugh as we talk about the unspoken bond between Geology and Hydrology and about the future of water scarcity in the American Southwest. 

This week we have a very special episode as our resident marine scientist, Captain Lila Glansberg, returns from the sea. She recounts her epic tales while out on the big blue ocean as Carly is coming down from a boozy brunch. We learn all about what happens on a research vessel from the science all the way to the steamy relationSHIPS made at sea. So dive in and get wet! 

How big it is? Team length or girth? Do you know about the Kraken? These are some of the questions we answer in this weeks episode about the elusive giant squid. Lila takes us on our deepest dive yet to expose all there is to know about these enormous invertebrate. Come for the science, stay for the many laughs and left field pop culture references.

Welcome back water weirdo's! This week we are diving into a topic that affects everyone on the planet, water resources management. Our guest, Christina Morrisett is a PhD candidate in Logan, UT. Christina and Carly discuss the Lower Henry's Fork of the Snake River in Idaho and ways to combat depleting water resources.   BONUS: Find out if Christina is team #hydroflask or #nalgene. Dive in and get wet!

Hydrogen could help us combat climate change but of course, like many renewable energy sources, there's red tape, policy, and big oil in the way. Listen to this weeks episode to hear our very first guests, Kristin Rounds and Siri Chillara teach us about the use of hydrogen in a decarbonized future. Kristin works as a public utilities regulatory analyst for the state of California and Siri, an engineer, has done some interesting research into producing hydrogen in a clean, green way while studying at the Arava Institute (hint:where Lila and Carly met). So dive in and get wet.

Okay, we know Halloween was a while ago AND Christmas is this week but you need to learn about the spooky, sometimes occult practice of Water Dowsing, AKA Water Witching.
