Podcasts about mass extinction

What's a forest really worth? Or a pollinator, or a reef? In this final episode of The Cost of Climate Change, we travel to Tasmania's underwater forests to uncover the hidden costs of nature loss and what the economy has been ignoring - from vanishing carbon sinks to collapsing food systems. But there's another side to this story: what we can save by putting nature first.

Scientists are sounding the alarm about a massive volcano that could trigger the next mass extinction! Deep within the Earth's crust, pressure is building, and experts fear that a catastrophic eruption could change life on our planet forever. What makes this volcano so dangerous, and why are scientists so worried? From toxic gas emissions to explosive eruptions capable of altering global climates, this sleeping giant is a ticking time bomb. Join us as we dive into the terrifying reality of a supervolcano that could reshape the world as we know it!

We like to think of the Earth as a very stable place. While there might be seasonal variation in the weather, things don't really change that much within our lifetimes.  However, if you take a longer perspective, a much longer perspective, things can change a lot.  In fact, there have been five times in the history of the Earth when life on Eath completely changed. When over half of the species on the planet completely disappeared.  Learn more about the Earth's mass extinction events and what caused them on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

A survey of nearby stars establishes the rate of supernovas in our general neighborhood. Evidence indicates we had nearby stellar explosions at the times of two mass extinctions. Those supernovas may have decimated the ozone layer and contributed to extinctions and climate changes. Plus, we recorded on April 1 and take a look at silly April 1 science papers, and we get tilted with our trivia and space news. Join us, won't you?

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 34The Astronomy, Space and Science News PodcastSupernovae's Role in Mass Extinctions, NASA's Stellar Mapping Mission, and New Moons of SaturnIn this episode of SpaceTime, we explore a fascinating new study suggesting that nearby supernovae could have triggered at least two of Earth's mass extinction events. These violent stellar explosions may have stripped away the ozone layer, exposing life to harmful ultraviolet radiation and leading to significant ecological upheaval. We delve into the implications of these findings and how they reshape our understanding of Earth's history.Nasa's SPHEREx MissionWe also discuss NASA's successful launch of the SPHEREx mission, designed to map the entire celestial sky in unprecedented detail. This mission aims to create a three-dimensional map of over 450 million galaxies, utilizing advanced spectroscopy techniques to analyze infrared light and uncover the mysteries of cosmic inflation and the ingredients necessary for life.Saturn's Expanding Moon FamilyAdditionally, astronomers have made an exciting discovery of 128 new moons orbiting Saturn, bringing its total to 274. These tiny moonlets, likely remnants of larger captured moons, offer insights into the history and evolution of the Saturnian system.00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 34 for broadcast on 19 March 202500:49 Supernovae and mass extinction events06:30 The role of supernovae in Earth's history12:15 Overview of NASA's SPHEREx mission18:00 Spectroscopy and cosmic inflation studies22:45 Discovery of new moons around Saturn27:00 Summary of recent astronomical findings30:15 Discussion on dietary changes in Australia by 2030www.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

Move over, TikTokers. It's time to shine a spotlight on some of the earliest influencers around: dinosaurs. When these ecosystem engineers were in their heyday, forest canopies were open and seeds were small. But around the time most dinosaurs were wiped out, paleontologists noticed an interesting shift in the fossil record: Seeds got bigger — much bigger. There was a fruit boom. Did the death of these dinosaurs have something to do with it? And who are the modern day equivalent of dinosaur influencers? To find out, host Emily Kwong talks to Chris Doughty, an ecologist at Northern Arizona University.Tell us what other tales of dino past you want us to regale you with by emailing us at shortwave@npr.org!

Anxiety is in the air. Trump's latest outbursts underscore America's shifting economic stance. Who knows if there is a method to the madness? In this episode, we break down the logic of MAGA economics, tracing its roots back to mercantilism; the imperialist trade philosophy that once fuelled global empires. We dissect Trump's obsession with trade surpluses, the inevitable clash between MAGA and Wall Street, and why Ireland might be enemy number one in the next trade war. Just when you think things can't get more chaotic, we explore the looming "mass extinction event" set to shake Silicon Valley and the tech elite. From tariffs to TikTok bans, economic history to geopolitical strategy, this is a no-holds-barred deep dive into the forces reshaping the world, whether we like it or not.

In this episode of 'Art Heals All Wounds,' I have the pleasure of speaking with the author, Lydia Millet. Lydia's latest book 'We Loved It All: A Memory of Life' explores themes of interconnectedness, extinction, and climate change. She shares insights into her writing process and the challenges of addressing such monumental issues through storytelling. The conversation also delves into the cultural narratives that have led to environmental degradation and the potential of new, inclusive stories that could inspire change. Lydia's work is a reminder of the importance of love and protection for all beings as essential components in the fight against mass extinction and climate catastrophe. 00:00 Introduction to Art Heals All Wounds00:44 The Extinction Crisis02:16 Interview with Lydia Millet05:15 Lydia Millet on Writing and Climate Change11:56 The Role of Stories in Shaping Our World30:01 The Importance of Love and Protection35:02 Conclusion and Call to ActionDon't forget to go to my website and leave me YOUR story of belonging to feature on a future episode!Buy Me a Coffee!Follow Lydia!WebsiteInstagramFollow Me!●      My Instagram ●      My LinkedIn●      Art Heals All Wounds Website●      Art Heals All Wounds Instagram●      Art Heals All Wounds Facebook

Most scientists view fossils as a record of life's history. So, they assume many mass extinctions throughout evolutionary history.

There have been rumors about Yellowstone being overdue for a super volcanic eruption circulating for years, but is there actually a timer on super eruptions? Can we predict that? And what would the consequences of a super eruption be? It's 90 Seconds to Midnight and the earth is rumbling with volcanic activity. Could any of these eruptions mean the end of life as we know it?

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.

LOOP 6.4: Prof. Anjan Bhullar continues his overview of avian evolution with a look at how the birds fared after the K-Pg mass extinction. What was it that allowed birds to survive when the non-avian dinosaurs died out? Why didn't they just become dinosaurs again? What have birds been able to achieve in the time since and how important are they to modern ecosystems. Not an episode to be missed (unless you're Prof. Dan Field). Life On Our Planet (LOOP) is a new 8-part series created for Netflix by Silverback Films and Amblin Television. This Steven Spielberg produced series, narrated by Morgan Freeman, is hugely ambitious in its scope, telling the story of life throughout the whole Phanerozoic Eon. Ancient organisms and environments are painstakingly recreated by the supremely talented Industrial Light and Magic, whilst modern natural history scenes add vital context to the story. This show has been worked on for six years, during which time countless papers were read and around 150 different palaeontologists contributed their time and knowledge. The whole production had culture of letting the scientific rese arch dictate scenes, resulting in one of the most accurate on-screen representations of prehistoric life there has ever been. And how do we know all this? Well, our very own team members Tom Fletcher and Dave Marshall have been embedded within the LOOP team since day one! We are therefore in a totally unique position to reveal to you the work that went into this series, from both the production and research side of things. In this unofficial series, we've been granted exclusive access to many of the people responsible for creating LOOP, we explore what it takes to create a palaeontological documentary and we delve deeper into the science with some of the show's academic advisors. Each day, we will be releasing batches of interviews, each relating to a specific episode of LOOP. Image courtesy and copyright of Netflix.

LOOP 6.2: Dr Anjan Bhullar, Yale University, returns to speak further about dinosaurs. He's pressed on where he'd draw the line between dinosaur and bird, or whether there should even be a distinction between them at all. At what point does flight evolve and was it ‘ground up' or ‘tree down'? We find out that none of these questions are simple.

LOOP 6.3: Documentary research takes you down a lot of unexpected avenues. If you're recreating something like the Chicxulub impact and the K-Pg mass extinction, then you need to be able to provide answers for things you didn't even know were questions. What colour was the asteroid? How bright was the flash? How long does it take to cook a Triceratops to death? Silverback Films researcher Edd Dyer returns to discuss the difficulties of finding such information.

My special guest is Paleontologist Peter D. Ward who's here to discuss alarming discoveries that could mean we're headed for an extinction event. Is it too late? Get his book Under a Green Sky on Amazon. By looking backward at the course of great extinctions, a paleontologist sees what the future holds. More than 200 million years ago, a cataclysmic event known as the Permian extinction destroyed more than 90 percent of all species and nearly 97 percent of all living things. Its origins have long been a puzzle for paleontologists. During the 1990s and the early part of this century, a great battle was fought between those who thought that death had come from above and those who thought something more complicated was at work. Paleontologist Peter. D. Ward, fresh from helping prove that an asteroid had killed the dinosaurs, turned to the Permian problem, and he has come to a stunning conclusion. In his investigations of the fates of several groups of mollusks during that extinction and others, he discovered that the near-total devastation at the end of the Permian period was caused by rising levels of carbon dioxide leading to climate change. But it's not the heat (nor the humidity) that's directly responsible for the extinctions, and the story of the discovery of what is responsible makes for a fascinating, globe-spanning adventure.  In Under a Green Sky, Ward explains how the Permian extinction as well as four others happened, and describes the freakish oceans—belching poisonous gas—and sky—slightly green and always hazy—that would have attended them. Those ancient upheavals demonstrate that the threat of climate change cannot be ignored, lest the world's life today—ourselves included—face the same dire fate that has overwhelmed our planet several times before.

Interview starts at 43:00   Ian Williams joins us to chat about his book "Soil and Spirit: Seeds of Purpose, Nature's Insight and the Deep Work of Transformational Change". We get into his background, his spiritual experience, what the sixth mass extinction is, the big picture, Eastern Energy Arts, resilience through diversity, regenerative future and other solutions.   We also talk about how being in nature  and nature comes back around, going inward, post activism, staying devoted, hacking our souls, climate change, colonialism and the line in the sand.   www.reviveuandi.com   In the intro we chat about all the new censorship, our latest Grimerica Outlawed guest Arthur Kwon Lee, and the Disclosure 2.0 at the Washington Press Club.   https://www.youtube.com/live/zDY7t6HihCw?feature=share Disclosure 2.0   https://www.palladiummag.com/2023/06/01/complex-systems-wont-survive-the-competence-crisis/   Help support the show, because we can't do it without ya.
