What can rocks, fossils and meteorites teach us about the past—and could science ever bring dinosaurs back?In this episode of Wes Iseli's MagicLife Podcast, Wes and Natalie welcome geologist, author, fossil researcher and lifelong rock collector Yinan Wang. Yinan shares how finding fossils as a child led him to study geosciences at Princeton University, research gemstones using satellite imagery and help identify new species preserved in amber.We explore the real science behind Jurassic Park, whether dinosaur DNA could survive inside amber, how lasers reveal hidden details in fossils and why today's AI apps often misidentify rocks. Yinan also explains the differences between geology, mineralogy and paleontology in terms that beginners can easily understand.The conversation also covers meteorites, megalodon teeth, ethical fossil collecting, mineral rights, mining claims, crystal healing and the surprising history of gold in Virginia. Could there really be gold hiding along the hiking trails behind our house? Yinan helps us understand what we should look for!Yinan is the award-winning author of books including The 50 State Fossils, The 50 State Gems and Minerals and The 50 State Unofficial Meteorites.LEARN MORE ABOUT YINAN WANG

What happens when a finance guy who's never heard of lithium takes a job in a small North Carolina town because it's near where his favorite author lived?Joe Lowry is the founder of Global Lithium LLC, host of the Global Lithium Podcast (239 episodes and counting), and author of the new memoir Lithium Confidential: Confessions of a Corporate Misfit. He spent 35 years in the industry — including years in Japan and China — and for a stretch in the 1990s he personally controlled essentially all of the lithium supply going into the world's first commercial lithium-ion batteries.This is a longer, less traditional episode for us, and it's worth every minute. Joe walks through the entire lithium cycle from rock to cathode, explains why the industry started as a hydrogen bomb program, and gives an unusually blunt read on where the industry is headed — including his line that there's no Smackover lithium without direct lithium extraction, and why he thinks the first real success there lands around 2029.There's also plenty here for students and early-career geologists: Joe's argument that you should learn the industry, not just deploy your geology skills, and his advice on what actually makes a career durable.Some things we get into:Why lithium was in Post-it Notes, blue jeans, and grease long before batteriesThe full flow sheet: spodumene → calcine → lithium sulfate → carbonate → hydroxide, and why the "midstream" means cathode, not chemicalsHard rock vs. Atacama brine vs. sedimentary (Thacker Pass) vs. Smackover oilfield brineWhy grade matters: 600 ppm Smackover vs. sub-100 ppm produced water (sorry, Marcellus)How the market went from 300,000 tonnes LCE in 2020 to nearly 2 million todayThe 2022 spike to $80,000/t and what happened afterWhy Joe called BS on the high-nickel/hydroxide narrative and was right about LFPSodium-ion: real use cases, or a CATL press release every time lithium ticks up?What "crappy brine" means, and the fraud problem in African spodumeneCommodity or specialty chemical?

We Believe: Membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: A Christian Conversation by Phillip M Graehl Phillipmgraehlbooks.com https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GPGL17P3 If Jesus Christ is to all people our Good Shepherd and his gospel is the good news, why is there so much contentious debate in the world over all this goodness? Why is there such derision cast between religious bodies and their adherents toward others of differing beliefs? The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and its members have been persecuted since the founding of the Church, and its members often called non-Christian. Is this really true? There are many truths about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints that invite discussion. There are also many fallacies and misunderstandings regarding the Church that deserve exposure and explanation. Herein is described to the traditional Christian world and all others who will inquire some history as well as doctrines and practices of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, given in an attempt to help bridge a divide that need not exist between disciples of Jesus Christ. “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” About the author I am a “mid-boomer” having been born in 1955, in Provo, Utah. The first few years of my life were spent in Fort Collins, Colorado where my father attended veterinary school, alternating with summers in Provo which was my father's home town. Over a two year period I lived in Bend, Oregon; Salt Lake City, Utah; and then Glendale, California. Grades K – 3 were in Glendale, and then we moved to Huntington Beach, California. While in Huntington Beach I enjoyed bodysurfing and surfing as well as outdoor sports in general including backpacking and skiing. I also played high school football, basketball, and baseball. I attended college at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and graduated with a bachelor's of science degree in Geology. One summer in college I worked on the North Slope of Alaska for a geophysical company. The summer after college graduation I worked in Uranium exploration in northern Idaho and northeastern Washington. I attended medical school for two years at the University of Utah and completed medical school at the University of California, Irvine. My post graduate training was in orthopedic surgery at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas. Prior to completing my training in San Antonio I met and married my wife of the last forty years. My wife is also a physician. Fellowship training in lower extremity total joint replacement and sports medicine occurred in San Antonio, Texas and then Sydney, Australia. My first orthopedic practice was in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Then after two years I immigrated to Texas where I practiced for another thirty years in the northern suburbs of Dallas, Texas. I continue to enjoy outdoor sports, fishing, and I am an admirer of Western art of the United States. After two total hip replacements I have abandoned skiing, but I continue to enjoy hiking in the Rocky Mountains of the United States. I have also found that I enjoy writing. Following my retirement I enrolled at the University of Texas at Dallas and began with a creative writing class. Thereafter, the Covid pandemic caused an acute cessation of my post-post-graduate education.

Trauma surgeon Martin Takac came to Alaska to climb Denali, the highest mountain in North America. He reached the summit. The hardest part, it seemed, was behind him. Then, on the descent, the ground disappeared. A hidden snow bridge collapsed beneath Martin, dropping him deep into a crevasse on the Kahiltna Glacier. He survived the fall—but his body became wedged so tightly inside the narrowing walls of blue ice that rescuers couldn't simply pull him back out. What followed was an extraordinary 15-hour crevasse rescue involving Denali guides, National Park Service mountaineering rangers, volunteers, a helicopter pilot, and eventually a piece of equipment no one would normally expect to see on a glacier. Meanwhile, Martin was trapped almost completely motionless as the cold slowly pushed his body into profound hypothermia. In this episode of The Crux: True Survival Stories, we follow the rescue hour by hour and explore hidden crevasses, snow bridges, glacier travel, severe hypothermia, and the decisions that can separate an ordinary descent from a fight for survival. 00:00 — Podcast Cold Open00:28 — Trapped in Blue Ice01:43 — Meet Martin Takac02:46 — Finding the Edge04:32 — How Far Can You Go?06:24 — The Seven Summits07:47 — Why Denali Is Different09:44 — The Descent10:22 — A Calculated Risk11:48 — One Last Decision12:51 — What Lies Beneath the Glacier14:12 — One Careful Step16:51 — A Man Disappears18:23 — The Rope Won't Move19:33 — The Trap Inside the Crevasse19:57 — Sixty Feet Down21:35 — The Rescue Begins22:34 — The Cold Takes Over24:58 — Into the Blue26:39 — Running Out of Options29:31 — The Perfect Disguise31:47 — Time Becomes the Enemy33:17 — One Last Idea34:57 — Back Into the Light35:55 — How Is He Still Alive?39:06 — What the Glacier Left Behind References National Park Service. “Two Climbers Rescued from the Kahiltna Glacier.” June 5, 2017.https://www.nps.gov/dena/two-climbers-rescued-from-the-kahiltna-glacier.htm Anchorage Daily News. “Inside the Dramatic, 14-Hour Rescue That Freed a Climber From a Deep Crevasse on Denali.” June 6, 2017.https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/2017/06/06/the-story-behind-the-dramatic-14-hour-rescue-that-freed-a-slovakian-climber-from-a-deep-crevasse-on-denali/ Anchorage Daily News. “Denali Climber Who Survived 15 Hours in Crevasse Says He Is Grateful for a New Life.” June 20, 2017.https://www.adn.com/opinions/2017/06/20/denali-climber-who-survived-15-hours-in-crevasse-says-he-is-grateful-for-a-new-life/ CBS News / Associated Press. “High Drama: 15-Hour Rescue From North America's Tallest Mountain, Alaska's Denali.” June 7, 2017.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/15-hour-rescue-north-americas-tallest-mountain-alaskas-denali/ CBC News. “‘Not for the Claustrophobic': Climber Falls Down Narrow Crevasse on Alaskan Glacier, Rescuers Chip Him Out.” June 8, 2017.https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/denali-crevasse-climber-rescue-alaska-1.4149936 Mountain Trip. “June 2 West Buttress Team — Guides Perform Crevasse Rescue on Unroped, Private Climber.” June 6, 2017.https://mountaintrip.com/trip-reports/new-audio-recording-396/ Unofficial Networks. “Colorado Guides Receive National Bravery Award for Saving Climber's Life on Denali.” September 16, 2022.https://unofficialnetworks.com/2022/09/16/mountain-trip-bravery-award-denali/ WesternSlopeNow (KREX). “Colorado Guides Recognized for Saving Climber's Life.” September 2022.https://www.westernslopenow.com/news/colorado-guides-recognized-for-saving-climbers-life/ Noviny.sk (TV JOJ). “Aljaska: Slovenský Horolezec Spadol do Úzkej Trhliny v Ľade.” June 7, 2017.https://www.noviny.sk/zahranicie/229582-aljaska-slovensky-horolezec-spadol-do-uzkej-trhliny-v-lade U.S. Geological Survey. “Geology of Denali National Park and Preserve.”https://www.usgs.gov/geology-and-ecology-of-national-parks/geology-denali-national-park-and-preserve Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes David Nabhan, author, researcher, and longtime advocate for examining possible patterns associated with major earthquakes. Nabhan has challenged conventional thinking about earthquake forecasting by investigating whether certain seismic events may display recurring relationships involving geography, timing, tides, and the gravitational influences of the Sun and Moon. His work raises a provocative question: Are devastating earthquakes truly unpredictable, or are there warning patterns we have yet to fully understand? Drawing upon historical earthquake records and his own research, David examines some of the world's most destructive seismic events and the circumstances surrounding them. He has argued for greater scientific attention to possible correlations between major earthquakes and tidal forces, while recognizing that earthquake prediction remains an extraordinarily difficult and controversial field. Mainstream seismology currently cannot reliably predict the exact time, location, and magnitude of a future earthquake. During this thought-provoking conversation, Rob and David explore mega-earthquakes, seismic activity, tectonic forces, earthquake forecasting, tides, the Sun and Moon, and disaster preparedness. They discuss what history may teach us about catastrophic earthquakes, the difference between identifying earthquake hazards and actually predicting individual events, and why improving our understanding of seismic risks could potentially save lives. From the Pacific Ring of Fire to major fault systems capable of producing catastrophic events, this episode of The 'X' Zone Radio Show investigates one of nature's most powerful and frightening phenomena. Can scientists ever accurately predict the next mega-destructive earthquake? Join Rob McConnell and David Nabhan as they examine the evidence, controversies, and unanswered questions surrounding the continuing search for reliable earthquake forecasting.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

"We have to absorb and analyze more data than ever in shorter amounts of time. Spending a day thinking about these workflows can bring you insights into practical ways to integrate the model and data across disciplines." Subsurface teams have more data than ever, but that does not guarantee better decisions. Maisha Amaru explains why geology and geophysics need to connect early, before uncertainty leads to weak models or repeated work. Her DISC course, Using All Your Data: Integration of Geology and Geophysics, offers a full day on August 16 to step back and think through these workflows before IMAGE '26 begins. The course and accompanying book provide practical ways to improve integration, use new tools carefully, and make better use of the information already available. KEY TAKEAWAYS > More data does not automatically produce better answers: Teams need time to test what the data support, where uncertainty remains, and what matters for the decision. > Integration works best when it begins early: Connecting geology and geophysics before models are finalized can reduce rework and reveal problems sooner. > A day away from routine work can create long-term value: The August 16 DISC course gives attendees space to learn, make connections, and begin IMAGE '26 with integration already in focus.

Standing atop a 1.7-billion-year-old rock in Wisconsin, geologist Marcia Bjornerud points out the many challenges our planet has weathered, and that its long memory might hold the key to facing climate change today. A conversation about the power of awe, resilience, and "timefulness," this summer read will help put things in perspective.

There's a photo on Tim Ireland's Google Scholar profile of a toddler standing on the floor of an open pit gold mine in Australia's Northern Territory, wearing a hard hat and — because it was the early 1980s — flip flops. That toddler is now the Principal Geologist for Exploration at **First Quantum Minerals**, one of the world's major copper producers, and in this episode Jesse sits down with him to talk about how mineral exploration actually works.Tim grew up with two geologist fathers, but the path in wasn't as direct as it sounds. He took a gap year as a field technician and mostly hated it. He considered leaving to design jewelry. He turned down a PhD because being told he'd become "one of the world experts on sedimentary rock–hosted zinc" sounded uncomfortably narrow — then spent a few years alone in the desert with a drill rig and 22,000 square kilometers of ground before the university called back with something better.From there we get into the machinery of exploration. Tim describes the job as **reducing search space** — starting with a continent and narrowing until you're willing to spend real money drilling — and why that philosophy holds whether you're chasing porphyry copper in Chile, sediment-hosted copper in the DRC, or orthomagmatic nickel in Finland. We also get into the part they don't teach in a mineral deposits course: three or four people weighing in over email on whether to spend millions on relatively scant information, and why what a company really pays a principal geologist for is a **calibrated gut**.The scientific heart of the episode is what Tim calls the **quality question**. Deposit models are good at telling a geologist whether they're getting warmer. They're not good at telling you whether the thing you're walking toward will ever be a mine — and the industry is full of "technical successes" nobody publishes, where the geologist did the job right and the deposit simply wasn't good enough. We also cover critical minerals and why the West is late (Tim was in the room in Oslo in 2007 when China announced the plan out loud), the 22-year lag from discovery to production, and why he's skeptical of AI prospectivity tools — if there are only ten porphyry deposits on Earth with more than a hundred million tons of contained copper, that's not a training set.It closes with Tim's best day as a geologist: alone in a gorge in the northern Chilean desert, a ten-mile traverse, a spire of rock he probably shouldn't have climbed, and one outcrop that put his hand on a fault he'd only been able to argue about on paper.In this episode- The Google Scholar baby photo — hard hat, flip flops, floor of an open pit- A gap year he didn't enjoy, and the jewelry business that never happened- Why he turned down a PhD on sedimentary zinc — and what he asked for instead- Industry-funded research: "cut-price consultants," or the best training pipeline there is?- Reducing search space: the one philosophy that holds across every deposit type- Spending millions on scant information, and what a calibrated gut is worth- Critical minerals, the 2007 Oslo warning, and who's still in denial- 22 years from discovery to production — and why averages lie- The quality question: why our models can't tell a mine from a "technical success"- AI in exploration: the useful camp, the black-box camp, and why ten deposits isn't a training set- Big company vs. junior — kudos versus shares, and the trade-off nobody spells out- Tim's best day as a geologist, alone in a Chilean gorgeAbout the guestDr. Tim Ireland is Principal Geologist for Exploration at First Quantum Minerals, a global copper-focused mining company. He trained at the University of Tasmania, with an honors project on the MacArthur River zinc deposit and a PhD on porphyry copper systems in northern Chile. His career has run through Newmont in Turkey, a junior working sediment-hosted copper in the DRC, and thirteen years at First Quantum.Memorable quotes- "If it were mathematical and there was a definite yes/no answer, we wouldn't be needed."- "You still have to do the work. You can't just sit at your desk and think about the model."- "If you've only got ten porphyry deposits in the world with more than a hundred million tons of contained copper, ten's not a great enough training set."- "I'm still kind of hanging out for that day that I walk up a hill and crack the first rock."Download the CampGeo app now at this link.

Nature is a very broad term, and as we often discuss on this show, everything is connected. Geology impacts soil, which dictates what plants can grow. But if we pull back even further, the ultimate engine driving our planet's systems is the Sun. So when I think of Nature's Archive—and that big concept of "Nature"—I love bringing these grand, foundational subjects into our scope.Today is one such instance. Our guest is Dr. Ryan French, a solar astrophysicist and author who specializes in studying solar flares. Solar activity affects life on Earth in surprising ways—from creating spectacular auroras (the northern and southern lights) to disrupting GPS systems and power grids. And most fascinating for naturalists: these solar storms can even disrupt bird navigation and alter the foraging habits of bees.Dr. French walks us through why solar flares occur, an even more impactful phenomenon called a coronal mass ejection, why these events follow an 11-year cycle, the current state of space weather forecasting, and how you can see and photograph beautiful auroral displays yourself.Dr. French has an extremely fun and informative social media presence, so be sure to check out ryanjfrench.com for resources and links.This was a super fun discussion—one I've wanted to have pretty much since I started Nature's Archive.FULL SHOW NOTESLinksCompilation from Solar Flares and Eruptions from Dr. French's YouTube Channelryanjfrench.comCheck our Ryan's Books, including Space Hazards and The Little Book of EclipsesNOAA's Space Weather Site, including predictions and real-time observationsSupport Us On Patreon!Buy our Merch!Music: Spellbound by Brian Holtz MusicLicense (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseArtist site: https://brianholtzmusic.com Discover the Jumpstart Nature Podcast - entertaining and immersive, it's the nature fix we all need.Check past Nature's Archive episodes for amazing guests like Doug Tallamy, Elaine Ingham, and Rae Wynn-Grant, covering topics from bird migration to fungi to frogs and bats!

Ever wondered what would happen if we drilled into magma? It's not your everyday project, but scientists have been curious! Drilling into magma could unlock new insights into how volcanoes work and help predict eruptions. However, it's a risky move since tapping into molten rock could lead to extreme heat and pressure escaping. Some researchers think it might even be a new way to harness geothermal energy, using the heat from magma to power homes. But it's definitely a breakthrough that needs careful planning—drilling into magma isn't for the faint of heart! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Astronomy Daily S05E148 — "Far Side" Thursday 23 July 2026 Starship gets a second shot at Flight 13 — with a schedule caveat worth knowing about. The first far-side lunar samples reveal that Earth has been quietly shielding the side of the Moon that faces us. Astronomers debate whether the lunar far side should be closed to industry. The Milky Way's only helium nova finally steps out from behind twenty-five years of dust. And the case that our entire galaxy once turned over. Plus a skywatch closer with a straightforward piece of advice about the Delta Aquariids: do not wait for the peak.In this episode Starship Flight 13 ●        Window opens 6:45pm EDT / 2245 GMT Thursday 23 July — 8:45am AEST and 10:45am NZST Friday 24 July. ●        Schedule is not locked: Starbase road and beach closure notices point to further Pad 2 testing. ●        The 16 July attempt aborted at T-0 when four of 33 Raptors missed start parameters; the limit is three. ●        Two Raptors were removed and replaced before this attempt. ●        First-ever Starship deployment of V3 Starlink satellites — 20 of them. ●        Super Heavy splashes down in the Gulf at ~7 minutes; Ship targets the Indian Ocean off Western Australia at ~65 minutes. No catch attempts. Chang'e-6 and the solar wind ●        Published in Nature Geoscience by a team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Geology and Geophysics. ●        Based on 1,935 grams of regolith returned from the South Pole–Aitken basin on the lunar far side. ●        First direct laboratory comparison of solar wind implantation between the near and far sides. ●        Far-side soil records faster, deeper-penetrating particles; the neon isotope ratio sits below every near-side sample measured. ●        About a quarter of the solar wind exposure at the Chang'e-5 near-side site involved wind decelerated by Earth's magnetosphere. The far-side site shows none. ●        Opens the possibility of using lunar noble gases as a fossil record of Earth's magnetic field over deep time. The far side debate — NAM 2026 ●        Held Tuesday 21 July at the RAS National Astronomy Meeting, University of Birmingham. Convened by Prof Martin Ward. ●        For the motion: Prof Joe Silk (Johns Hopkins) and Dr Jonathan McDowell (Durham Space Research Centre). ●        Against: Dr Nikita Chiu (Durham) and Dr Manuel Salvoldi (aerospace engineer and educator). ●        For: the far side is the only radio-quiet site near Earth — critical for detecting the cosmic dark ages, and an exceptional platform for gravitational wave detection. ●        Against: commercial investment is what makes lunar exploration sustainable, and governance can let science and industry coexist. ●        Audience support for the motion rose from 68% to 76% across the debate. V445 Puppis ●        Presented at NAM 2026 by John Mills, University of Warwick. ●        The only confirmed helium nova in the Milky Way. Erupted in late 2000, then vanished behind its own dust for over twenty years. ●        Now confirmed as a white dwarf accreting from a rare stripped helium star — only a few thousand such stars are thought to exist in the entire galaxy. ●        Orbital period of 3.7 days, roughly double previous estimates. Mass transfer has resumed. ●        Unexplained high-speed "bullets" of possibly oxygen-rich gas travelling up to 20 million mph (~9,000 km/s) — never seen in any other nova. ●        Data from ESO's Very Large Telescope, Hubble, the Southern African Large Telescope and TESS. ●        Helium novae may be one pathway to Type Ia supernovae, the standard candles used to measure cosmic expansion. The Milky Way disc flip ●        Presented at NAM 2026 by Kirill Batrakov, Durham University. ●        Based on 25 Milky Way-like galaxies in the Auriga simulation suite, followed across roughly 11 billion years. ●        Galaxies with the most slowly rotating stellar haloes shared a major head-on merger and a disc reorientation greater than 90 degrees. ●        Our stellar halo rotates at only 10–20 km/s; the disc moves at around 220 km/s. ●        The Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus collision roughly 10 billion years ago is the candidate trigger. ●        Batrakov describes a disc flip as likely rather than confirmed, and is looking for independent signatures. ●        Separate 2026 work led by Ling Zhu, using 600,000+ giant stars from Gaia and LAMOST, found the outer dark matter halo oriented almost vertically to the stellar disc — consistent with the disc having tilted. Skywatch ●        Southern Delta Aquariids are active now, running into late August, with maximum around 30 July. ●        Full Moon on 29 July means peak night is close to 98% illuminated — the worst conditions of the run. ●        Best window: the pre-dawn mornings from now until roughly 27 July, after moonset. ●        Radiant near Skat in Aquarius. Use Fomalhaut and the Great Square of Pegasus to locate it. ●        Australia and New Zealand: radiant climbs near overhead. Best from around 2am to first light. ●        North America: radiant sits low in the south — fewer meteors, but a better chance of long-trailed earthgrazers. Same 2am-to-dawn window, local time. ●        Sunspot region AR4493 has grown rapidly to beta-gamma-delta complexity — the highest classification — and has already fired three M-class flares in a day. Worth watching aurora alerts.

If there was a great worldwide flood, as described in Genesis, such a catastrophe certainly should have left obvious evidence of itself all over the world. Scientists who believe in creation say that we are surrounded by these evidences. Many of them also believe that some of the features associated with glaciers can be better explained by a catastrophic flood. While evolutionary scientists scoff at the biblical account of the Flood, they continue to run across evidences of what they take to be huge floods. Further evidence has been reported of a continental flood.The September 1989, issue of Geology, a scientific professional journal, carried an article about drumlins in northern Saskatchewan. Drumlins are hills that are traditionally associated with glacial activity. When viewed from the air, they resemble eggs lying on their sides, all pointing in the same direction.Over the years some scientists have proposed that drumlins were formed by large quantities of water running in the same direction. The article in Geology offers yet more evidence for large quantities of water moving over the continental land surfaces. One of the scientists remarked that, “There's nothing in recorded history that matches the size of these floods.”If we consider Genesis to be recorded history, rather than ancient and ignorant myth, there certainly is a historical record of a huge Flood!Genesis 7:20"Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail, and the mountains were covered.”Prayer: Dear Lord, in our age of unbelief, so many don't even feel they need to apologize for rejecting Your Word as ancient myths. Help me, along with all of Your people, to be bright, shining lights for Your truth in this dark world. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

A new survey reveals that 39% of Americans still hold to biblical creation — down from 47% just 15 years ago. Kevin and Bill discuss the fact that 99% of PhD scientists and 99% of college classrooms are united against the Genesis account. The apostasy of geology has a history...and that has played out in the courtroom battles over creation in the public schools.

On this episode of TALKdesign, Adrian Ramsay sits down with celebrated design author Helen Thompson for a captivating journey through the stories, landscapes, and creative minds that shaped American Desert Modernism. Long before writing defining books like Marfa Modern, Texas Made Texas Modern, Santa Fe Modern, and Private Aspen, Helen was an imaginative only child pulling clothes from her closet to build miniature room structures. That early curiosity led her to investigative journalism, where a single magazine assignment inside an Austin home sparked a lifelong passion for discovering what makes people fall in love with built spaces.Throughout their conversation, Helen shares rich stories from her career, including an adventurous eight-hour drive across West Texas with photographer Casey Dunn to capture Marfa's remote architectural gems just as the town was becoming an international art destination. She uncovers the cultural forces behind Western design, from Donald Judd's insistence on site-specific art to the Bauhaus movement brought to Aspen by Walter Paepcke and Herbert Bayer. Adrian and Helen share a mutual appreciation for how rugged terrain, limestone aquifers, and pioneer heritage force designers to drop their ego and listen to what the land has to say.The dialogue turns delightfully personal when Adrian guides Helen through his 'My Emotional Floorplan' approach, discovering why her home bathroom serves as her ultimate private sanctuary for reading, reflection, and creative ideas. They reflect on how true luxury is never about constructing a massive monument to oneself, but about crafting an authentic environment that offers privacy, restoration, and emotional comfort. It is a warm, story-filled conversation celebrating the deep connection between human behaviour, personal history, and the places we call home.✅ EPISODE CHAPTERS:00:02:01 — Introducing Helen Thompson (Marfa Modern, Santa Fe Modern, Private Aspen)00:03:39 — The Global Cultural Impact of Prada Marfa00:04:22 — Helen's Origin Story: From Texas Monthly Reporter to Architectural Writer00:07:27 — Marfa Modern & Site-Specific Design Philosophy00:09:20 — East vs. West: European Status Symbols vs. American Regional Modernism00:10:18 — Frank Lloyd Wright, Donald Judd & Designing for Light and Air00:16:16 — Photography vs. Experience: "Architecture Can't Move; We Get It to Move"00:20:00 — Texas Regional Modernism & The 90-Year O'Neil Ford to Lake|Flato Legacy00:27:18 — Post-COVID Design, Outdoor Living & Dogtrot Breezeways00:37:40 — Emotional Floorplans: Masculine vs. Feminine Energy in Home Design00:45:33 — Land Whispering & The Geology of Site Selection00:51:39 — Santa Fe Modern & Deep Regional Roots in Desert Architecture01:04:32 — Private Aspen & The Bauhaus Migration to the American West01:11:00 — Architecture as Living Art: Creating for Truth Over the Marketplace01:17:28 — The Ideal Client-Designer Partnership: Curiosity, Self-Awareness & Push-and-Pull01:24:28 — Geopathic Lines & The Magnetic Energy of Santa Fe01:29:16 — Helen's Emotional Floorplan: The Bathroom as a Sacred Retreat & Creative Sanctuary01:40:00 — Closing Thoughts & Where to Find Helen's Work

A new MP3 sermon from Generations Radio is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: The 99% Problem - Geology, Scoffers, and the War on Genesis Speaker: Kevin Swanson Broadcaster: Generations Radio Event: Radio Broadcast Date: 7/21/2026 Length: 44 min.

A new survey reveals that 39% of Americans still hold to biblical creation — down from 47% just 15 years ago. Kevin and Bill discuss the fact that 99% of PhD scientists and 99% of college classrooms are united against the Genesis account. The apostasy of geology has a history...and that has played out in the courtroom battles over creation in the public schools.

What if you could tell whether a rock exists on a planet 50 light-years away — without ever leaving Earth? This week Chris and Jesse welcome back friend-of-the-show Dr. Jackie Faherty (American Museum of Natural History) for her fourth appearance to talk about one of the wildest results in exoplanet science yet.The crew digs into a new Nature Astronomy paper on a rocky planet about 30% larger than Earth, orbiting a tiny star, whipping around fast with a scorching ~1,000 Kelvin surface and — surprisingly — no atmosphere. With no gas in the way, the James Webb Space Telescope was able to read the light coming off the planet itself and start distinguishing what the surface might be made of, right down to the debate geologists love: mafic vs. ultramafic, basalt vs. granite.Along the way, Jackie explains what makes JWST so special, why it sees in infrared, and how astronomers actually assign those famous colors to the images (spoiler: it's not random). They get into brown dwarfs and why she thinks one may be hiding in our own galactic neighborhood, the coming firehose of data from Rubin and NASA's Roman telescope, and why Jesse has to eat his old postdoc-era complaints that Webb was a waste of money.It's a mind-bending conversation about living in what feels like a science-fiction era — where a planet's light tells us its secrets.Download the CampGeo app now at this link.

Pete Johnson, Co-founder and CEO of Koloma, joins Inevitable to break down geologic hydrogen — naturally occurring hydrogen found deep underground — and why he believes it could be the first new primary energy source since nuclear power in the 1950s. Koloma has raised more than $400 million from Khosla Ventures, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Amazon's Climate Pledge Fund, Osaka Gas, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and holds roughly 20 million acres of exploration rights across the U.S. Midcontinent, the Philippines, Australia, and Canada. Pete explains why Koloma's first commercial target isn't power generation but ammonia and fertilizer production in the U.S. Midwest, where farmers pay a $150-per-ton premium on imported ammonia. He walks through the geology of where natural hydrogen forms, how Koloma's 25-year proprietary subsurface dataset shapes its exploration strategy, what it actually takes to prove a commercial-scale discovery, and how he separates genuine clean-hydrogen economics from tax-credit-driven projects. Episode recorded on June 24, 2026 (Published July 14, 2026) In this episode, we cover:  [0:00] Intro: Pete Johnson and Koloma's geologic hydrogen bet [2:02] What "Koloma" means — and the gold rush origin story [3:31] Where geologic hydrogen actually forms [7:07] The Iowa project and why the resource lines up with demand [7:51] The $150/ton ammonia premium hitting Midwest farmers [10:53] Why hydrogen pipelines aren't the real bottleneck  [13:52] Koloma's model: exploration engine, not driller [15:12] What makes hydrogen exploration so hard [18:13] How big a discovery needs to be to matter commercially [22:39] Power vs. ammonia: how end use changes the math [23:50] The Philippines opportunity and energy security stakes [28:48] Pete's path: solar, Monolith Materials, and stumbling into hydrogen [35:53] Sorting real clean hydrogen from a tax credit grab [38:52] Current state of Koloma: 20 million acres and what's next [42:04] Where Koloma needs help — policy and data Enjoyed this episode?

Check out our special offer: www.incogni.com/stuartgarySpaceTime Series 29 Episode 81How a passing star redirected comets to the inner solar systemA fascinating new study reveals how a passing star, HD 7977, may have altered the trajectory of comets from the Oort Cloud, sending them cascading into the inner solar system. This event, which occurred approximately 2.47 billion years ago, could still be influencing comet activity today. Researchers used data from the European Space Agency's Gaia mission to refine the distances involved and suggest that the gravitational perturbations from HD 7977 temporarily dominated the generation of new comets.Changing our map of the Milky Way GalaxyAstronomers have redrawn the map of our Milky Way galaxy, moving its outer arms up to 10% further away than previously estimated. This revised picture is based on observations of gamma-ray bursts and the subsequent echoes of X-rays that helped to measure distances within the galaxy. New techniques have allowed for a clearer understanding of the Milky Way's structure, confirming the existence of its four spiral arms.Evidence of vast hidden magma systems inside MarsNew findings suggest that Mars once hosted extensive magmatic systems beneath its surface, despite the absence of plate tectonics. Data from NASA's InSight mission has revealed a previously unidentified boundary layer deep within the Martian crust, indicating complex geological processes that may have allowed the Red Planet to develop a habitable environment. This challenges long-held assumptions about the geological capabilities of rocky planets without tectonic activity.The Science RobertA new study indicates that the mental health of high school peers can significantly affect individual mental health outcomes. Additionally, research finds no link between paracetamol use during pregnancy and the risk of autism or ADHD. A detailed analysis of a fossilised pterosaur wing reveals insights into its diet, while scientists discover new methods to control quantum light sources, bringing us closer to practical quantum technologies.1.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss the earliest evidence we have of the existence of trees and how even plants we might have on windowsills or as vegetables in gardens can and do, in the right conditions, evolve into trees. Since their emergence around 400 million years ago after low lying plants started to develop stronger stems and grow taller and more upright, trees have transformed our planet, so creating ecosystems, altering the atmosphere and setting the stage for the world as we know it today.

Granite is everywhere — it makes up much of the continental crust beneath our feet; yet, for over a century geologists were stuck on a deceptively simple question: where does all that magma find room? In this episode, Jesse and Dr. Mike Ackerson pick the granite series back up to tackle the "room problem" — the puzzle of how you wedge a magma body tens of kilometers wide into solid crust. Using California's Tuolumne Intrusive Suite (the fruit fly of igneous petrology) and the landmark Coleman et al. 2004 paper, they show that the way out isn't space at all — it's time. These giant plutons weren't emplaced in one molten flash; they were assembled incrementally over millions of years. Along the way: a whirlwind history of geochronology, why the word "lead" makes clean-lab chemists recoil in horror, and the slow death of the "magma chamber."Download the CampGeo app now at this link.

In this Energy Horizons episode of the Greenberg Traurig E2 Energy Law Podcast, host and of counsel Nikki Wise and Bill Garner, co-chair of the firm's global Energy Practice, examine one of 2026's most compelling emerging energy stories: the discovery and early-stage development of natural hydrogen, also known as white or geologic hydrogen, across the Middle East. Bill opens with an update on a landmark development in France, where Francaise De l'Energie has drilled the deepest well in the world specifically targeting natural hydrogen, reaching approximately 3,500 meters in the Lorraine region's abandoned coal mines. He then turns to the Middle East, where the unique geology of the region, including serpentinized ultramafic rock and ophiolitic formations, is generating significant exploration activity. The discussion highlights Oman as the region's clear first mover, with visible hydrogen seepage already documented, an MOU between SOHAR Port and Freezone and Swiss firm HYNAT, a US Department of Energy-backed project by GeoPower, and a recent exclusive evaluation agreement between Australian company HyTerra and ARA Natural Resources focused on the Samail Ophiolite. Bill notes that Oman's flexible petroleum law gives it a regulatory head start. The episode also covers Saudi Arabia's early-stage Aramco pilot investigations, and the UAE's establishment of a natural hydrogen research institute in Abu Dhabi, along with Irish company Decahydran's confirmed natural hydrogen well in Sharjah and its commercial partnerships with Weatherford International, Sharjah National Oil Company, and Siemens Energy. Bill and Nikki explore the legal and business dimensions of this emerging industry, noting that new regulatory frameworks, mining laws, environmental assessments, international trade agreements, and commercial contracts are effectively being written in real time, creating significant opportunities for legal practitioners and investors alike. The episode closes with a realistic look at the long timeline to commercialization and the geopolitical complexities affecting the region, before previewing the next episode, which will focus on natural hydrogen development and legal considerations in the United States.

When you start studying a group of plants, you never know what you are going to find. Sometimes it's important insights into pollination and seed dispersal. Other times it's how the uplift of mountain chains shapes wetlands and rivers. These are the kinds of discoveries that drive Dr. Ana Bedoya to study the riverweeds of the family Podostemaceae. These extreme aquatic plants are fascinating in the own right while also having a lot to teach us about a variety of scientific disciplines.

What does cracking open green-shiny rocks in a German preschool have to do with feeding eight billion people without oil and gas? In this episode, Jesse sits down with Oliver "Oli" Jagoutz, professor at MIT and director of the Earth Resources Laboratory (ERL), for a wide-ranging conversation that travels from the Himalayas to the wastewater treatment plant — and makes the case that geology might be one of the most societally relevant sciences of the coming decades.Oli traces his winding path into the field: the son of a cosmochemist who dragged him along on mantle-sampling campaigns, a self-described "failed" almost-med-student who spent years climbing, traveling, and working as a nurse before discovering that he could inhale geology once he finally found it. His advice to late bloomers — it's not your age that matters, it's that you've figured out what you actually want.From there the conversation digs into the Kohistan arc, the spectacular tilted-on-its-side cross-section of ancient island-arc crust now exposed in the Himalayas, and what it tells us about how continental crust forms (magmatic differentiation, water, and density sorting). Oli explains why he came to believe the textbook story of the India–Asia collision was wrong — arguing the real collision happened closer to 40 million years ago, not 50 — and why that timing matters for understanding how mountain-building and tropical weathering of calcium- and magnesium-rich rocks may have reshaped global climate.That climate thread becomes the pivot point of the episode. Oli describes walking away from the decades-old "origin of continental crust" question to chase problems with real-world stakes, and lays out the four areas his lab now tackles: carbon sequestration, critical minerals, geothermal energy, and geological hydrogen. Along the way he challenges the standard weathering-CO2 story (betting instead on the organic side — clays protecting buried organic matter), and walks through a genuinely clever carbon-sequestration scheme that uses sulfur-reducing bacteria and industrial waste gypsum to lock up carbon while making money by recovering elemental sulfur — a chemical the world will desperately need for fertilizer in a post-oil economy.The episode closes on practical wisdom for students: master the fundamentals, stay broad, actually go to the talks (not just the beer), use tenure to fund "Neverland science," and recognize that an outsider's perspective — connecting dots others haven't — is often where the best ideas come from. Oli also explains how AI-driven, probabilistic "hygrometry" of whole-rock data is opening a new path for mineral prospectivity, and why he thinks metamorphic petrology — the chemistry of hot fluids reacting with rock underground — is the science of the future for mining, energy, and carbon storage alike.In this episodeHow a cosmochemist dad and a broken finger started a career in geologyWhy coming to the field "late" can be an advantageThe Kohistan arc and the puzzle of how continental crust is madeRe-dating the India–Asia collision — and why ~40 Ma changes the climate storyWeathering, CO2 drawdown, and the case for the organic carbon pathwayTurning sewage, gypsum, and bacteria into profitable carbon sequestrationSulfur, fertilizer, and the hidden product tree of oil and gasCritical minerals, geothermal, and geological hydrogen at MIT's ERLAI + whole-rock geochemistry for finding copper depositsWhy metamorphic petrology is the way of the futureAdvice for students who want to use geology to solve big problemsOli's "best day as a geologist"About the guestOliver Jagoutz is a professor at MIT and director of the Earth Resources Laboratory. His work spans igneous and metamorphic petrology, the tectonic evolution of the Himalayas, links between mountain-building and climate, and applied geoscience for energy, critical minerals, and carbon sequestration.Memorable quotes"Don't get discouraged when the community thinks you are wrong.
