On this episode, Nate is joined by Peter Brannen, science journalist and author specializing in Earth's prior mass extinctions, to unpack our planet's geologic history and what it can tell us about our current climate situation. Humans have become very good at uncovering the history of our planetary home - revealing distinct periods during billions of years of deep time that have disturbing similarities to our own present time. How is the carbon cycle the foundation of our biosphere - and how have changes to it in the past impacted life's ability to thrive? On the scales of geologic time, how do humans compare to the other species who have inhabited this planet - 99% of which have gone extinct - and will we end up being just a blip in the fossil record? How can an understanding of geologic and climate science prepare us for the environmental challenges we'll face in the coming decades? About Peter Brannen Peter Brannen is an award-winning science journalist and contributing writer at The Atlantic. His work has also appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Wired, Aeon, The Boston Globe, Slate and The Guardian among other publications. His 2017 book, The Ends of the World covers the five major mass extinctions in Earth's history. Peter is currently a visiting scholar at the Kluge Center at the Library of Congress and an affiliate at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research at the University of Colorado-Boulder. He was formerly a 2018 Scripps Fellow at CU-Boulder, a 2015 journalist-in-residence at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center at Duke University, and a 2011 Ocean Science Journalism Fellow at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, MA.

“Old growth” is a term often associated with forests, however scientists are beginning to realize that this concept also applies to other types of ecosystems, including grasslands, which provide a host of important ecosystem services. We interviewed Dr. Katharine Suding, a researcher at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, University of Colorado Boulder, to learn more about old growth grasslands.

Produced by KSQD90.7FM (Note: This live interview was conducted during the California storms (atmospheric rivers) January, 2023. “Be Bold America!” Sunday, January 15, 2023 at 5:00pm (PDT) How can art be a catalyst for political change? In a new autobiography, groundbreaking and acclaimed artist, Aviva Rahmani, shares her evolution as a woman, an artist, an ecofeminist, and a fearless defender of the natural world. In the world of ecoart, a genre which combines art techniques, political activism, and scientific insight to create pieces that speak directly to our current ecological threat, Rahmani's cutting-edge work grapples with the political, social, and cultural realities of the day and expresses a deep compassion and concern for injustice. Her autobiography, Divining Chaos: The Autobiography of an Idea, offers an intimate tour of her life and work. Along the way Rahmani hones her inventive style integrating painting, sculpture, film, music, performance, and, ultimately, the natural world. In one of her most celebrated pieces, The Blued Trees Symphony, she used a series of endangered forest sites, starting in New York state, as her canvas by painting trees with a blue marking that corresponded to the musical movements of an aerial symphony. Interview Guest: Aviva Rahmani, PhD is a pioneering ecological artist who has worked at the cutting edge of the avant-garde since she committed to her career in art at the age of nineteen. Rahmani is an affiliate of the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research at the University of Colorado at Boulder. She earned her PhD from the University of Plymouth, UK, and received her BFA and MFA at the California Institute of the Arts. She co-edited the anthology, Ecoart in Action: Activities, Case Studies, and Provocations for Classrooms and Communities. She frequently exhibits, publishes, and presents internationally. Recently, she completed a residency with the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council on Governors Island in New York.

In episode 46, David Epstein, Best Selling Author, joins us. Specifically David will be looking at: What range is Why range is superior Impact of improved range How to practically get more range About David "David Epstein is the author of the #1 New York Times best seller Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World — which Bill Gates featured in his end-of-year recommendations — and of the New York Times best seller The Sports Gene, both of which have been translated in more than 20 languages. (To his surprise, the latter was purchased not only by his sister but also by President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.) He is also the host of Slate's popular “How To!” podcast. He was previously a science and investigative reporter at ProPublica, and prior to that a senior writer at Sports Illustrated, where he co-authored the story that revealed Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez had used steroids. His writing has been honored by an array of organizations, from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, to the Society of Professional Journalists and the National Center on Disability and Journalism, and has been included in the Best American Science and Nature Writing anthology. His story “Following the Trail of Broken Hearts,” on sudden cardiac death in athletes, was chosen as one of the top 100 stories of the last 100 years by Columbia Journalism alumni. David has given talks about performance science and the uses (and misuses) of data on five continents; his TED Talks (here and here) have been viewed more than 10 million times. Three of his stories have been optioned for films: a Sports Illustrated story on the only living Olympian to have survived a concentration camp; an Atlantic/ProPublica piece detailing the DEA's fraught pursuit of Chapo Guzman's rivals; and a 2016 “This American Life” episode he wrote and narrated about a woman with two rare diseases who shares a mutant gene with an Olympic medalist. David has master's degrees in environmental science and journalism, and is reasonably sure he's the only person to have co-authored a paper in the journal of Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research while a writer at Sports Illustrated. (Like many of the characters in Range, he has benefitted from a winding career.) He has worked as an ecology researcher in the Arctic, studied geology and astronomy while residing in the Sonoran Desert, and blithely signed up to work on the D-deck of a seismic research vessel shortly after it had been attacked by pirates. David enjoys volunteering with the Pat Tillman Foundation and Classroom Champions, and, as of recently, with the National COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma Project. An avid runner, he was a Columbia University record holder and twice NCAA All-East as an 800-meter runner."

Dr. Merritt Turetsky is an associate professor at the University of Colorado Boulder and the director of the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research.

While Mason is still out on the road finishing up the coast-to-coast bike adventure, previous Adventure Sports Podcast host, Curt Linville, will take over again today. Brian has been working in the field of snow and avalanches for the last couple decades. He began backcountry skiing in Colorado as a college student, and later as a mountain guide; and as an avalanche educator, curriculum developer, and as former Executive Director with the American Institute for Avalanche Research and Education (AIARE), and member of the American Avalanche Association Education Committee. After a decade or so of guiding and teaching in a variety of snow climates on both sides of the equator, Brian returned to graduate school where he earned a MS in Engineering, studying snow and ice mechanics in Alaska’s Chugach, and conducting research at the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research. He worked for many years as a consultant to the ski industry, investigating snowpack runoff and potential changes to seasonal snowpacks as a result of climate change. Brian has been the Deputy Director of the CAIC since 2010. In the summers, you can find Brian complaining about the heat, planning his next trip to the snow, and trying to keep up with his wife Michelle on mountain bikes.

Michele Freppaz"L'adieu des glaciers"Forte di Bardhttps://www.fortedibard.it/Un affascinante viaggio alla scoperta dei ghiacciai di alcune delle cime più note delle Alpi e dei cambiamenti in atto sotto il profilo climatico. Ma non solo. Una mostra che unisce fotografia, ricerca scientifica e arte, in un dialogo iconografico carico di suggestioni tra passato e presente. Tutto questo è L'Adieu des glaciers, un progetto quadriennale promosso dal Forte di Bard che, nel 2020, parte dai ghiacciai italiani del Monte Rosa.Gli aspetti fotografici della mostra, allestita nelle Cannoniere della fortezza, sono curati da Enrico Peyrot, fotografo e ricercatore storico-fotografico, mentre gli aspetti scientifici da Michele Freppaz, professore del Dipartimento di Scienze Agrarie, Forestali e Alimentari dell'Università di Torino. L'identità glaciale del Monte Rosa viene presentata attraverso un corpus di cento fotografie inedite che raffigurano ambienti naturali e antropizzati, contesti e sodalizi storico-culturali, imprese scientifiche. Il progetto si avvale di opere di autorevoli autori e selezionate fotografie realizzate nel corso degli ultimi 150 anni e offre l'opportunità di apprezzare la qualità materico-fotografica delle stampe sia storiche che contemporanee, frutto di specifiche procedure, strumentazioni e materiali messi in opera nelle alte valli che nascono dal Monte Rosa.L'apporto dei contenuti scientifici è stato condotto in collaborazione con il Comitato Glaciologico Italiano, la Cabina di Regia dei Ghiacciai Valdostani, la Fondazione Montagna Sicura, l'Arpa Valle d'Aosta, l'Archivio Scientifico e Tecnologico Università Torino (Astut), il Dipartimento di Scienze agrarie, forestali e alimentari (Disafa) dell'Università di Torino, il Centro Interdipartimentale sui rischi naturali in ambiente montano e collinare, il Dipartimento di Neuroscienze dell'Università di Torino e con il professor Marco Giardino, segretario generale del Comitato Glaciologico Italiano e il professor Piergiorgio Montarolo, direttore dell'Istituto Scientifico Angelo Mosso. Si ringrazia per la collaborazione anche il Centro Addestramento Alpino.La mostra gode del Patrocinio di Mountain Partnership.Incontri al Forte di BardPrendono il via gli appuntamenti di Estate al Forte di Bard 2020. Giovedì 6 agosto, alle ore 20.30, per la rassegna Forte di Bard Incontri, il noto filosofo e teologo Vito Mancuso presenterà, in dialogo con Davide Mancini, il suo nuovo volume, edito da Garzanti, La forza di essere migliori (ingresso 5 euro, incluso biglietto per la visita alla mostra PhotoAnsa 2019). Riscoprendo le nostre radici che affondano nella cultura classica e nella tradizione cristiana, Vito Mancuso accompagna i lettori in un viaggio lungo il sentiero delle quattro virtù cardinali, e offre una nuova prospettiva di senso per le nostre vite in balìa dei tumultuosi venti dell'esistenza: «Perché solo colui che non cerca più di vincere e di prevalere, ma recupera il senso profondo dell'essere forte, saggio e temperante, può infine essere giusto, e fiorire in armonia con il mondo».Sabato 8 agosto, alle ore 20.30, dialogo tra il giornalista e scrittore Enrico Camanni, autore del volume Il grande libro del ghiaccio, e Michele Freppaz, professore del Dipartimento di Scienze Agrarie, Forestali e Alimentari dell'Università di Torino (ingresso 5 euro, incluso biglietto per la visita alla mostra Il Monte Rosa: ricerca fotografica e scientifica).Il grande libro del ghiaccio si dipana tra la lotta millenaria dell'uomo con il gelo e il radicale rovesciamento dei valori tra Settecento e Novecento, con la scoperta romantica dei ghiacciai, la neve degli sciatori e l'invenzione del ghiaccio artificiale, cioè la sua produzione a scopo alimentare, industriale e medico. Fino alla crisi attuale, in cui l'uomo prende coscienza della propria responsabilità di fronte al riscaldamento climatico e alla fusione dei ghiacci.Michele Freppaz è professore associato di pedologia e nivologia all'Università di Torino. Le sue ricerche si concentrano sullo studio dei suoli d'alta quota, con particolare riferimento all'influenza del manto nevoso sui cicli biogeochimici e al contributo delle valanghe all'erosione. E' stato membro del Comitato di Coordinamento della Rete LTER Italia e visiting professor presso l'Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research dell'Università del Colorado. Dal 2014 è Direttore scientifico della Summer School internazionale IPROMO (International Program on Research and Training on Sustainable Management of Mountain Areas), in collaborazione con la FAO-Mountain Partnership.https://www.unito.it/persone/mfreppaz IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Ice can be refreshing and cooling, but it can also be used to preserve life. Sometimes for strangely long periods of time. So just how do you make extreme forms of ice? From 'warm ice that doesn't ruin your frozen food, to controlled ice that helps planes fly. Sometimes you can even use a diamond to make some super controlled ice. Ice can harbour life even in some extreme conditions like the frozen and UV radiated Andes. Buried in Alaska is a bacterial community frozen in time. For 50,000 years bacteria have been thriving beneath layers of frozen tundra.    References:   Yong-Jae Kim, Yun-Hee Lee, Sooheyong Lee, Hiroki Nada, Geun Woo Lee.

In the first feature (start time 1:00) KGNU's Maeve Conran speaks with Antonia Malchik, author of A Walking Life.  This book  explores the relationship between walking and our humanity, how we have lost it through a century of car-centric design, how we can regain it and more.  This part of the interview, produced especially for How On Earth, focuses on the science behind what makes us able to walk.  For a pedestrian, walking is a simple as putting one foot in front of another, right?  Well from a scientific perspective, there's quite a bit to it. In the second feature (start time 13:10), Chip Grandits speaks with Dr. Detlev Helmig, Associate Research Professor at the Institute for Arctic and Alpine Research.  He is one of several Boulder area climate scientists preparing for The MOSAIC expedition, the largest ever Central Arctic research expedition.  In September 2019 A German research icebreaker the Polarstern will head northeast from Tromsø, Norway where it will spend an entire year caught up in the shifting Arctic ice.  Dr. Helmig talks about the need to improve climate models of the poles, what motivates a such complex, expensive and dangerous expedition and what motivates scientists to take a 2 month stint on board the Polarstern trapped in the Arctic ice.

The Learning Leader Show With Ryan Hawk #310: David Epstein Full show notes can be found at www.LearningLeader.com David Epstein is the author of the forthcoming Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World , and of the top 10 New York Times bestseller The Sports Gene. David has master’s degrees in environmental science and journalism, and is reasonably sure he’s the only person to have co-authored a paper in the journal of Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research while a writer at Sports Illustrated.  David has given talks about performance science and the uses (and misuses) of data on five continents; his TED Talk has been viewed 7 million times, and was shared by Bill Gates. Notes: Leaders who sustain excellence = Voracious learners Voracious readers They attack obstacles Extremely interested in people and about themselves The Sports Gene Having great reflexes is a trained skill -- Pro baseball players cannot hit a pro softball pitcher because they have not trained their reflexes to understand the arm angle (Albert Puhols could not hit Jenny Finch even though she throws slower than the average MLB pitcher) "Chunking" is what world class athletes or chess-masters do.  They pick up on cues from the person's body (or the board) and that helps them make quicker decisions -- Ex:  A baseball player understands/learns the cues of a pitcher and what pitch is coming and at what velocity Sports is a "kind learning environment."  It is more black and white than the business world.  In order to translate this to the business world, try to create a kinder learning environment.  Need as much information available as possible. Create an environment where feedback is happening on a regular basis The business world is not as kind of a learning environment The "annual review" is a horrible way to run a business.  Feedback should be happening on a regular basis... Daily. Bill Campbell would go to the meetings of the leaders he coached and gave immediate feedback. Create a feedback loop for yourself from mentors/people you trust "Everyone needs a coach" -- David regularly takes writing courses to stay sharp and learn David's writing process: The first year = Read 10 scientific papers per day.  He reads a TON Advantage David has created = An expansive search function Have a "master thought list" -- Storyboard, shift scenes around He did film editing as a form of cross training for writing a book and becoming a great storyteller 29 of 32 NFL first round draft picks in the 2017 draft played multiple sports.  Cross training is critical for long term success David debated Malcolm Gladwell on stage in front of a huge audience and changed Malcolm's mind.  Watch here. Athletes that delay specialization excel more than those that specializes (golf is the only exception to the rule) The most effective leaders are constantly updating their mental models It should be celebrated when someone changes their mind because better evidence has surfaced Darwin changed his mind Lincoln changed his mind A 'deliberate amateur' = Someone who loves an activity.  "I don't do research, I do search." It's a constant experimentation to learn In a LinkedIn study, the results of a review of all profiles of people who made it to the C-Suite = Went to a Top 5 Business School "The single most important factor is they worked in different functions within a company."  They were generalists. The people who make the most impact with number of patents filed work across classes.  They are wide ranging generalists. Sales is a great entry point for any business -- Learning marketing and sales will benefit you in every job you will ever have "Take your skills and apply them to a problem where those skills aren't being used." People underestimate how much the world will change -- Must be able to adapt and learn "We learn who we are in practice, not in theory."  -- Take action.  Do the work. Work to accumulate experiences Try something, go all in on the thing you are doing in that moment.  100% focus.  Invest everything you have in it. Then reflect on it -- "We learn in moments of reflection." "When you're 23, don't worry about getting ahead, get information about yourself.  Focus on learning." Use the "Get To Know You Document" Why joining The Learning Leader Circle is a good idea

Guests: Dr. Katharine Hayhoe - An Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science and Director of the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University, Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People.Dr. Alan Townsend - Townsend currently is director of the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research and professor in the Environmental Studies program at the University of Colorado at Boulder.Description: During this week's Weather Geeks podcast Dr. Shepherd had the privilege of talking with Dr. Kathryn Hayhoe and Dr. Alan Townsend, 2 scientists featured in a short-form film series entitled Let Science Speak. Dr. Shepherd was also interviewed for this short-form film series aimed at building a groundswell of bipartisan support for scientists on the front lines of solving our planet’s gravest challenges. Let Science Speak highlights not only what is at risk for our lives, our country, and our planet when science is under attack, but what that means for the humans behind the research, and the people behind the facts.

On the December 12, 2013 edition of Tell Somebody, Professor Jim White, Director of the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research and a professor of Geological Sciences and Environmental Studies talked about climate change. He chaired the committee within the National Academy of Sciences that released a report last week entitled Abrupt Impacts of Climate Change. The report brought to the fore the sudden changes that can occur within our biosphere in a matter of mere years or decades–a red alert for all of us sharing Planet Earth which emphasizes the need for an early warning system to be implemented.

On Friday, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, better known as the IPCC, released the first bit of its Fifth Assessment Report, a volume with a plain name that may have a large influence on global policy. This first part of the report, part one of three, is the "sciency" part, documenting the current state of knowledge of climate change and its effects. The report sticks to the physical science of climate change—by how much the climate is changing, what’s causing it, and what the world might look like by the end of the century. The next two volumes of the report will address the societal impacts of climate change and, lastly, mitigation strategies. HOE co-host Beth Bartel speaks with Tad Pfeffer, a professor at CU-Boulder jointly appointed between the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, (INSTAAR), and the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering. Pfeffer is one of the lead authors on Chapter 13 of the IPCC report, the chapter on sea level rise.

Leaky Natural Gas Wells (start time 6:22).   We speak with Greg Frost, a scientist from the University of Colorado at Boulder and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), about a new study, which is being published by the Journal of Geophysical Research.  The study indicates that natural gas drilling creates higher amounts of methane leakage into the atmosphere than previous estimates had indicated.  Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and unless this problem of leakage is solved, there is concern that drilling for natural gas might cause higher levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere than burning coal.  We also offer an extended version of this interview. Recent Contributions of Glaciers and Ice Caps to Sea Level Rise (start time 14:25).  Scientists at CU's Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research now have used eight years worth of satellite data to a clearer picture of how climate change is impacting the cryosphere, or ice-covered parts of the planet. (See animations here.)  Knowing how much ice has been lost during this time can help scientists understand how melting ice might contribute to sea level rise, both now and in the future. But there have been conflicting stories in the press about how the results should be interpreted.  We talk with Tad Pfeffer, one of the study’s coauthors, to discuss what’s really happening to the Earth's ice.
