Welcome to the PRESSURISED version of episode 58, just the science, none of the waffle We are still talking about Antarctica, the continent that keeps on giving! For this month's interview, we speak with Devin Harrison - Marine Geoscientist/Postdoctoral Researcher at Kelpie Geoscience - Devin is a postdoctoral research fellow at Kelpie Geoscience. His research utilises high-resolution topographic models of the seafloor and complementary geophysical and geospatial datasets to understand the geomorphic evolution and process landform relationship of the deep sea and the continental shelves. Devin is particularly interested in the glacial geomorphological record and the evolution of glacial environments from the last glacial maximum (~20-25 thousand years ago) to the present day. We're really trying to make this project self-sustaining, so we have started looking for ways to support the podcast. Here's a link to our page on how to support us, from the free options to becoming a patron of the show. We want to say a huge thank you to those patrons who have already pledged to support us: Elena Thanks again for tuning in; we'll deep-see you next time! Check out our podcast merch here!

We are still talking about Antarctica, the continent that keeps on giving! Alan and Thom discuss trying to stop working momentarily, constructing a treehouse, and acquiring a shark. In the news, we rattle off a list of newly discovered species with some very cool (but hard to pronounce) names. There has been a lot of squiddy news. Footage of divers swimming with a giant squid has resurfaced; in an exclusive for the podcast, Alan has recorded more amazing Magnapinna (bigfin or elbow squid) footage. And the biggest bit of news: the colossal squid has been seen alive in its natural habitat for the first time! Thom and Kat were part of the press conference. Megalodon (the not-deep-sea and very extinct shark) has been reassessed based on what we do know. It was likely longer and slimmer than we thought, and we have estimations for their speed and size at birth. We also have a new coelacanth population and a classic car found in the deep.

pWotD Episode 2898: Dire wolf Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 996,180 views on Tuesday, 8 April 2025 our article of the day is Dire wolf.The dire wolf (Aenocyon dirus ) is an extinct species of canine which was native to the Americas during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene epochs (125,000–10,000 years ago). The species was named in 1858, four years after the first specimen had been found. Two subspecies are recognized: Aenocyon dirus guildayi and Aenocyon dirus dirus. The largest collection of its fossils has been obtained from the Rancho La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles.Dire wolf remains have been found across a broad range of habitats including plains, grasslands, and some forested mountain areas of North America and the arid savanna of South America. The sites range in elevation from sea level to 2,255 meters (7,400 ft). Dire wolf fossils have rarely been found north of 42°N latitude; there have been only five unconfirmed records above this latitude. This range restriction is thought to be due to temperature, prey, or habitat limitations imposed by proximity to the Laurentide and Cordilleran ice sheets that existed at the time.The dire wolf was about the same size as the largest modern forms of gray wolf (Canis lupus): the Yukon wolf and the northwestern wolf. A. d. guildayi weighed on average 60 kilograms (132 lb) and A. d. dirus was on average 68 kg (150 lb). Its skull and dentition matched those of C. lupus, but its teeth were larger with greater shearing ability, and its bite force at the canine tooth was stronger than any known Canis species. These characteristics are thought to be adaptations for preying on Late Pleistocene megaherbivores; in North America, its prey is known to have included western horses, ground sloths, mastodons, ancient bison, and camels. Dire wolves lived as recently as 10,000 years ago, according to dated remains. Its extinction occurred during the Quaternary extinction event, disappearing along with its main prey species; its reliance on megaherbivores has been proposed as the cause of its extinction, along with climatic change and competition with other species, or a combination of those factors.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:08 UTC on Wednesday, 9 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Dire wolf on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kendra.

Quaternary is an adjective that means fourth in order or rank. The Latin word ‘quattuor' (KWAT too or) denotes the number ‘four.' Just as we use the words ‘primary,' ‘secondary' and ‘tertiary' to describe things that are first, second and third in rank or order, our word of the day refers to something fourth in order. Here's an example: I wasn't the fastest runner on our high school track team, but I take some pride in being the quaternary-ranked runner in the one-hundred-meter dash. Unfortunately, there's no medal handed out for fourth place.
LOOP 8.1: Dave and Tom introduce episode 8 and round of this special series on Life On Our Planet. We talk about our favourite scenes and reflect on our time working on the documentary and how our perspectives of documentary making has changed. We'd love your feedback on this podcast series. 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 8.2: Prof. Danielle Schreve, Royal Holloway University of London, joins us to cover the last 2 million years of Earth's history. We explore the periodicity of glacials and interglacials and the control Earth's orbit around the sun has on climate. She then places the Holocene's megafaunal extinctions and major palaeobiogeograpical events within this climatic context. We finally look at the impact of human radiation on the world and the lessons we can learn from this time.

Wir sprechen heute mit Helge Wendt. Dieser hat Geschichte und Altamerikanistik studiert und hat ganz aktuell seine Habilitation “Kohlezeit. Eine Global- und Wissensgeschichte (1500–1900) rausgebracht. Darüber sprechen wir auch hauptsächlich mit ihm. Am Anfang geht es dabei viel um den Ansatz, die Theorien und Methoden: Wir sprechen darüber was Globalgeschichte überhaupt ist und was nicht; und warum jede Geschichte so regional sie auch sein mag, auch Globalgeschichte ist. Doch Helge Wendt spricht mit uns auch über die inhaltlichen Erkenntnisse aus seiner Recherche und beschreibt was sich durch Kohle als Sonde darstellen und zeigen lässt. Warum ist Kohlezeit mit der Industrialisierung verbunden? Welche Bedenken im Bezug auf die Umwelt gab es bereits im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert? Zum Schluss thematisieren wir auch die Entwicklungen in der Gegenwart und die Diskurse rund um die Energiewende.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.02.10.528042v1?rss=1 Authors: Cohn, E. F., Clayton, B. L. L., Madhavan, M., Yacoub, S., Federov, Y., Paul-Friedman, K., Shafer, T. J., Tesar, P. Abstract: Exposure to environmental chemicals can impair neurodevelopment. Oligodendrocytes that wrap around axons to boost neurotransmission may be particularly vulnerable to chemical toxicity as they develop throughout fetal development and into adulthood. However, few environmental chemicals have been assessed for potential risks to oligodendrocyte development. Here, we utilized a high-throughput developmental screen and human cortical brain organoids, which revealed environmental chemicals in two classes that disrupt oligodendrocyte development through distinct mechanisms. Quaternary compounds, ubiquitous in disinfecting agents, hair conditioners, and fabric softeners, were potently and selectively cytotoxic to developing oligodendrocytes through activation of the integrated stress response. Organophosphate flame retardants, commonly found in household items such as furniture and electronics, were non-cytotoxic but prematurely arrested oligodendrocyte maturation. Chemicals from each class impaired human oligodendrocyte development in a 3D organoid model of prenatal cortical development. In analysis of epidemiological data from the CDC's National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes were associated with childhood exposure to the top organophosphate flame retardant identified by our oligodendrocyte toxicity platform. Collectively, our work identifies toxicological vulnerabilities specific to oligodendrocyte development and highlights common household chemicals with high exposure risk to children that warrant deeper scrutiny for their impact on human health.

RC is still feeling the effects of the Halloween shiny, reflective Foil Brother, so he discovers the differences between tin and aluminum. With clarity returned and napping mastered, he reviews the factors behind the phenomenon of the Urban Heat Island Effect, and relates how charts of heat waves in the US can be deceptive by manipulating data and wording descriptions that leave the actual point of the graphs unclear. Other more direct graphs blatantly show how comparably low current concentrations of CO2 are and how global temperatures were much higher than they have been the last five million years during the onset and cycling of ice ages. What is proposed as the optimum temperature that we should be striving toward? And what is being proposed as solutions to manage that temperature, that may leave us hamstrung in the face of natural climate change?

A billion or more years of possible periglacial glacial cycling in Protonilus Mensae, Mars by Richard J. Soare et al. on Tuesday 18 October The long-term cyclicity and temporal succession of glacial-periglacial (or deglacial) periods or epochs are keynotes of Quaternary geology on Earth. Relatively recent work has begun to explore the histories of the mid- to higher-latitudinal terrain of Mars, especially in the northern hemisphere, for evidence of similar cyclicity and succession in the Mid to Late Amazonian Epoch. Here, we carry on with this work by focusing on Protonilus Mensae [PM] (43-490 N, 37-590 E). More specifically, we discuss, describe and evaluate an area within PM that straddles a geological contact between two ancient units: [HNt], a Noachian-Hesperian Epoch transition unit; and [eHT] an early Hesperian Epoch transition unit. Dark-toned terrain within the eHt unit (HiRISE image ESP_028457_2255) shows continuous coverage by structures akin to clastically-sorted circles [CSCs]. The latter are observed in permafrost regions on Earth where the freeze-thaw cycling of surface and/or near-surface water is commonplace and cryoturbation is not exceptional. The crater-size frequency distribution of the dark-toned terrain suggests a minimum age of ~100 Ma and a maximum age of ~1 Ga. The age estimates of the candidate CSCs fall within this dispersion. Geochronologically, this places the candidate CSCs amongst the oldest periglacial landforms identified on Mars so far. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2210.09124v1

We're shining a light on the amazing contributions that women are making to science right now in this special interview with Dr Elizabeth Reed. Dr Reed is a lecturer and researcher in Palaeontology at the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Adelaide and a research scientist in Palaeontology at the South Australian Museum. She specialises in Quaternary cave deposits, notably in the south east region of South Australia. Dr Reed is also a featured scientist in the South Australian Museum's ‘Her Story' series, which celebrates amazing South Australian women who are blazing their own trails and inspiring, encouraging and motivating the next generation of young women to follow their dreams and pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). Her Story: Women in STEM series is made possible with support from the Hon. Dr Diana Laidlaw AM.

This week, Better Than Human tackles the Saber-Toothed Tiger which are most known for their large upper canine teeth. This animal is actually not closely related to a Tiger and is actually called the Saber-Toothed Cat, or Smilodon. The common house cat is more closely related to a Tiger than the Saber-Tooth Cat. Saber-Toothed Cats were specialized hunters, which may have made them wimpy or alpha predators (depending on how you look at it). First, in this week's best and worst news, Jennifer talks about stupid jackasses swimming with sharks for attention, and the renaming of a moth to a less offensive name. Amber tackles Republicans having a temper tantrum because they couldn't have fireworks at a sacred Native American Site. Saber-Toothed Cats went extinct during the Quaternary extinction event which ended around 10,000 years ago, and may or may not have been caused by humans (we probably caused it). Saber-Toothed Cats were more stocky than modern day tigers and lions, imagine a BullDog type Tiger. However, they are normally depicted in modern media as Tigers or Lions with long front fangs. Their habitats ranged from North America to South America, and they hunted large prey, like Bison and camels (yes, there was a species of Camel called Camelops which lived in the Americas, who knew, right?). Not a lot is known about the behavior of these animals, but there are a lot of different theories.Listen now as hosts Amber and Jennifer dive into unknown mysteries of the Saber-Toothed Cat.For more information on us, visit our website at betterthanhumanpodcast.comFollow us on Twitter @betterthanhuma1on Facebook @betterthanhumanpodcaston Instagram @betterthanhumanpodcasthttps://www.tiktok.com/@betterthanhumanpodcastor Email us at betterthanhumanpodcast@gmail.comWe look forward to hearing from you, and we look forward to you joining our cult of weirdness!#betterthanhuman #cultofweirdnes
Most of us think about the world in a pretty linear timeline. The right amino acids started brewing together in a puddle somewhere, God or the Universe or something generated a "spark of life", and 3.5 billion years later - here we are making TikTok videos. But, what if we weren't the first advanced civilization to call Earth home? This week we get a bit "heady" as we explore The Silurian Hypothesis and wonder, was there someone here before us? Plus, we learn how Brent spends his time at the bar (no surprise there), C-Bot attacks Brent through his wife (equally unsurprising), and we welcome Darrell to the show as our latest victi...fan to suggest a topic and help cohost via Patreon (the fact that any of you spend your hard earned money to support our little show is always the most surprising and humbling of all). All of that and more on the podcast that isn't sure when humanity began, but we have a good guess as to how it will end…and that involves podcasting robots - Hysteria 51.

This week John spoke to Professor Jamie Woodward from the University of Manchester about two key global issues; our developing understanding of climate change during the Quaternary and microplastic transport and storage in river catchments. Both are major examples of how physical geography research has impacted on national and global policy. Jamie's research on microplastics in rivers is now feeding directly into the Parliamentary Inquiry into Water Quality in Rivers. Jamie Woodward is Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Manchester. Thanks to Collins for sponsoring series 6 of GeogPod.

Ok ok, então vamos lá a saber o que é isto da prevenção, qual a sua finalidade e ter umas noções para a implementar adequadamente, mas numa perspetiva não tão conhecida por toda a gente. Porque nem tudo será prevenível, nem tampouco tudo o que se promove como medidas preventivas serão sempre "o melhor remédio". E o futuro da prevenção? (esse assunto ficará para outro dia...) Hoje para melhor acompanhamento, deixo notas de episódio com tempos e bibliografia. #1:00 Uma introdução mais prolongada e um pouco lentificada/gaguejada, lol, sobre o podcast, para os recém-chegados. #SemEnsaios #4:40 O que é a prevenção? Haja saúde! Medicina curativa "versus" medicina preventiva. Importância da Prevenção nos Cuidados de Saúde Primários, na Saúde Comunitária e nos custos-benefícios para a Sociedade. #8:30 Divisão da prevenção em níveis (seus objetivos e exemplos), conceitos de doença (disease) e dolência/estar doente (illness). #10:20 - Prevenção primordial (ex: leis anti-tabágicas). #11:15 - Prevenção primária (ex.: vacinação). #12:00 - Prevenção secundária (ex.: rastreios e exames de deteção precoce). #15:00 - Prevenção terciária (ex.: reabilitação e medicação crónica após enfarte cardíaco) #16:30 - Prevenção quaternária (ex: "excessos da medicina", sobreutilização, sobrediagnóstico, sobretratamento) - conceito original (17') e conceito revisto (20'), alargado aos outros níveis de prevenção; riscos dos 'check-ups'/'análises de rotina anuais' (21'-23'). #24:30 - Prevenção quinquenária (prevenir o erro atuando no bem-estar do profissional de saúde) - o crescente esgotamento/'burnout' dos profissionais de saúde (e não só), antes, durante e após a pandemia. #MuroDasLamentações #BeStrong #29:00 - Top das principais intervenções preventivas #NãoPercamPróximoEpisódio #PorqueNósTambémNão x) Erratas: » 18min: sobre o valor preditivo de exames associados à clínica e outras características dos testes - http://www.epi.uff.br/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/testes-diagnosticos2017a.pdf. » 21min: vacinação: quando é dito por "lapso" que a vacina "não foi adequadamente estudada", deve ouvir-se que em estudos de fase III envolvendo menos doentes não foram percebidos efeitos secundários graves, entretanto percebidos na implementação de planos vacinais em larga escala, ainda que numa proporção muito rara de casos e sem prejuízo do balanço benefício-risco individual e populacional. » 26min: "indústria farmacêutica" não é um mau bicho-papão: terá naturalmente o seu papel na medicalização da sociedade e na "promoção da doença" (disease-mongering), mas tem obviamente um papel essencial na formação médica, na inovação e na criação de novos medicamentos, beneficiando doentes e a sociedade.

She shares her excitement about the new bed tower, slated to open in 2026, that will allow CMC to continue leading as a quaternary hub while continuing to serve the Charlotte community.
Today I want to talk about this really sweet meteorite I scored. The name is a bit hard to pronounce so I hope I don't butcher it. Muonionalusta Meteorite is a meteorite that impacted the border area between Sweden and Finland and is named after the nearby Muonio River. Wikipedia says that it is probably the oldest known meteorite and is the first occurrence of stishovite in an iron meteorite. Stishovite is a very rare and extremely hard and dense tetragonal form of silicon dioxide (think quartz) and could possibly be a predominant form of silicon dioxide in the lower mantel of our planet. The meteorite impacted our planet during the Quaternary period around 1 million years ago and was either part of the iron core or mantle of a planetoid that shattered into many pieces as it fell. Here is something to think about. I am holding a piece of history--something that has experienced four ice ages! Originally I was going to keep it but I decided to wrap and sell it---someone out there will treasure it. If the Muonionalusta meteorite could speak, imagine the stories it would have to share with us. For pictures of the meteorite, click here. Support this podcast on Patreon for $1.

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are one of many chemical mixtures being sprayed to kill viruses and bacteria. Although ammonium chloride compounds are poisonous, even at 0.1% concentration, there is virtually no concern for their harmful effects, which include respiratory restriction, contact dermatitis, and any number of things like sore throat, dizziness, headache, etc. These bodily reactions are responses to poisoning, in the same way that these same symptoms are classified as the result of a viral infection. Still, these exact same symptoms, if felt after a vaccination, are said to be proof the vaccine is working. The fraud, illiteracy, ignorance and refusal to accept that the things we do to stay 'healthy' are actually making us sick, have so deteriorated any kind of common sense that the FDA even had to list as a FAQ the following, since people actually believe that injecting or spraying toxic chemicals can prevent them from getting sick: "Can I prevent or treat COVID-19 by using disinfectant sprays, wipes, or liquids on my skin? Can I inject, inhale, or ingest (swallow) disinfectants to prevent or treat COVID-19?"

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.11.16.385856v1?rss=1 Authors: Oliveira Bortot, L., Lopes Rangel, V., A. Pavlovici, F., El Omari, K., Wagner, A., Brandao-Neto, J., Talon, R., von Delft, F., G Reidenbach, A., M Vallabh, S., Vallabh Minikel, E., Schreiber, S., Cristina Nonato, M. Abstract: Prion disease is caused by the misfolding of the cellular prion protein, PrPC, into a self-templating conformer, PrPSc. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray crystallography revealed the 3D structure of the globular domain of PrPC and the possibility of its dimerization via an interchain disulfide bridge that forms due to domain swap or by non-covalent association of two monomers. On the contrary, PrPSc is composed by a complex and heterogeneous ensemble of poorly defined conformations and quaternary arrangements that are related to different patterns of neurotoxicity. Targeting PrPC with molecules that stabilize the native conformation of its globular domain emerged as a promising approach to develop anti-prion therapies. One of the advantages of this approach is employing structure-based drug discovery methods to PrPC. Thus, it is essential to expand our structural knowledge about PrPC as much as possible to aid such drug discovery efforts. In this work, we report a crystallographic structure of the globular domain of human PrPC that shows a novel dimeric form and a novel oligomeric arrangement. We use molecular dynamics simulations to explore its structural dynamics and stability and discuss potential implications of these new quaternary structures to the conversion process.

Ranger Steve joins me today to talk about updates to our facilities for the 2020 camping season.
In this episode, Dr. John Clague opens a discussion about multi-hazards in our modern world. As a geo-hazard specialist, he explores earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, etc. in the context of growing populations. He explains how physical science needs to add to the conversation about society, how and where we live and how we respond to risks. In a limited global environment, with resources threatened by climate change, biodiversity loss, as well as poor governance and human decisions, Dr. Clague maps out what are some possible solutions. He reflects on lessons from the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918-1919 and our recent COVID-19 challenges. Dealing with complex issues of racism, inequity, globalisation and geohazard careers, he offers some ideas for the way forward. Join us at Multi-Hazards as we explore how we all can work together to build better communities. Also, be sure to check out the Study Guide for the program! Click on the top left where it says "Pdf" above the date! https://multi-hazards.libsyn.com/multi-hazards-in-a-risky-world-interview-with-dr-john-clague Dr. John Clague's Bio Dr. John Clague is Emeritus Professor at Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, in the province of British Columbia in Canada. He was educated at Occidental College (BA), the University of California Berkeley (MA), and the University of British Columbia (PhD). He worked as a Research Scientist with the Geological Survey of Canada from 1975 until 1998. In 1998 he accepted a faculty position in Department of Earth Sciences at Simon Fraser University. Dr. Clague is a Quaternary geologist with research specialisations in glacial geology, geomorphology, natural hazards and climate change. Dr. Clague is former Director of the Centre for Natural Hazard Research at Simon Fraser University. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, former President of the Geological Association of Canada, and Past-President of the International Union for Quaternary Research and the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia (APEGBC).

Dr. Clague is a leading authority in natural hazards and risk and in Quaternary and environmental earth sciences. A major focus of his research, over the 50-year period since he published his first paper on large slumps in the Monterey Formation in Point Reyes National Seashore in California, is natural hazards, with emphasis on landslides. He is noted for local national, and international research collaboration with other geologists, engineers, geographers, biologists, and physicists. He and his students have conducted research on landslides, earthquakes, tsunamis and floods in Canada, the USA, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, Austria, Italy and New Zealand.
Today we interview Dr. Gio Roberti, a geohazard geologist in Vancouver, BC, Canada. His research has focused on the effects of climate change on volcanic slope stability. He has led multiple international projects between Canada, Peru, France, and Italy. The results of his research have been published in scientific journals, presented at major geological conferences and reach the broader public through various media reports. Dr. Gio Roberti is now leading Minerva Intelligence's Natural hazard section, working on merging human knowledge with machine intelligence to enhance natural disaster management with Cognitive AI.

Click on the top left where it says "Pdf" above the date! https://multi-hazards.libsyn.com/volcanoes-landslides-and-artificial-intelligence-interview-with-dr-gio-roberti Dr. Gio Roberti's Bio Dr. Gio Roberti is Section Head, Natural Hazards at Minerva Intelligence in Vancouver, BC, Canada. At Simon Fraser University website, where he did his PhD, in the Centre for Natural Hazards Research section, he has specialised in Quaternary geology and Landslide modelling. He is currently working in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) approaches to the automated identification and risk assessment of geohazards such as landslides. Dr. Roberti has also studied the effects of climate change on the stability of glaciated volcanoes. His main test site was the Mt Meager volcano, near Squamish and Whistler, just north of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. During the summer of 2010, snow and ice melt caused the collapse of Mt. Meager's south flank generating the largest historical landslide in Canada. Using remote, field and numerical techniques Dr. Roberti did in-depth study of such landslides and glacial activity, as well as their influence on the deeper volcanic system.
Driving my dwarf mammoth from the island of Crete along the Salinas road towards a very crazy circus in the Pleistocene. Mammuthus Creticus drops me off at the door to attend the Quaternary mass extinction event. I lose my innocence on the way to the terrace and the herd moves love. I lost or gained years of life in that heavenly place. My DNA is born at 4 a.m. Chaos and disorder. I close summers and learn what is good and what is bad, what I like and what I don't like. Respect and knowledge. Another elephant leads my brother. I don't know my brother. My brother enters Eden and dances next to me. The two elephants and my brother commune with me and give me their communion. Lose my state of consciousness and fly over the reality of the clown who blesses me under the paradise of red lights waiting for the dawn behind the fan.

After a bit of review about the sudden disappearance of the southwestern deserts’ Clovis settlements coinciding with the YDB, RC ventures further into the records of PIDBA, with maps showing the massive reduction in projectile-point finds across the US. Other studies show a hiatus of occupation in the Great Lakes Region, Belgium and also southwest Asia. After a summation, he shares a study that links the evidence for an ET event with that of the Tunguska aerial burst and the Chicxulub crater associated with the K-T Boundary impact, which includes potential options that would not leave all the required “markers” for impact – like an oblique/tangential passing of a disintegrating comet. RC had envisioned that exact scenario and modified a graphic almost twenty years ago to present as a possible explanation for the catastrophe.

We recorded this a few days after Halloween, so RC talks about Taurids, more on the Younger Dryas Boundary megafauna extinction, and the "Great 5" previous massive events, then some of the affects on civilization if another similar event happened today. We've been charmed with the Holocene's extended warm and stable climate, but we've still been through shifts that have stressed and modified our advancements. RC also shares graphs showing the sudden decline of the Clovis Culture. Randall defines the Quaternary period and shows some of the taphonomic circumstances in which mammoth and other megafauna remains have been found, observing that they all were preserved due to sudden and catastrophic burial, as described vividly and dramatically by anthropologist/explorer Frank C. Hibben.

After most visitors to Iceland arrive at Keflavik international airport, they quickly grab their bags and set their sights on traveling to downtown Reykjavík. Unfortunately, the don't give any thought to visiting the rest of the Reykjanes Peninsula. Little do they know that a beautiful, less crowded and completely underrated place waits just outside of the airport. I was delighted when I found out that this peninsula had been designated a UNESCO Global Geopark in 2015. I have been fortunate to travel to this area on several occasions. When there, I am always pleasantly surprised by how amazing and diverse the landscape is. While I don’t want this peninsula to become overcrowded with visitors, I do think it is a shame that more people do not explore this place. It is literally brimming with geothermal activity, mud pools and lava fields. It is also home to so many hiking trails and fascinating Icelandic history. Most notably, it is one of the best places to see the separation of the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. After learning more about this place, I decided it was worth it to dedicate this episode to the Reykjanes Peninsula. The Unique Geology of the Reykjanes Peninsula During one of my visits to the area I found the geology to be quite interesting. After looking up how the area was formed, I found the following quote from Visit Reykjanes brochure. Just a heads up, there is some science lingo in the quote but I still think it is worth sharing, “Reykjanes Peninsula is an important region from a geological standpoint. It is a geologically young section of Iceland and is a land born and highly volcanic counterpart of the North Atlantic Ridge where the tectonic plates diverge at an average rate of 2.5 cm/ yr. The peninsula contains late Quaternary volcanic palagonite tuff and pillow lava formations as fells and mountains from the last glacial periods. Widespread basaltic lava flows and volcanic structures from interglacial periods, especially from the last 11,500 years (the Holocene Era) characterise the area. Four elongated volcanic systems and fissure swarms line the peninsula from SW to NE. They contain open fissures, normal faults, high temperature geothermal fields and numerous volcanic fissures that are lined with monogenetic craters.” Whether you care about the science behind how this area was formed or not, the beauty and the uniqueness of the landscape can’t be denied. Where is the Reykjanes Peninsula & How to Get There Before jumping into what to see and do in this part of south Iceland, I think it is important to go over where it is and how to get there. As I mentioned in the beginning, this peninsula is in the south of the country, specifically the south-west. The towns and villages that make up the Reykjanes Peninsula include Suðurnesjabær, Grindavík, Vogar, and Reykjanesbær. If it is relatively clear when you are flying into Iceland, you can get a glimpse of the stark black sand beaches along the coastline and the jagged lava rock that dominates this part of the country. By car, it is very easy to drive around the peninsula. Whether you rent a car on your own or take a tour. However, the real fun begins when you get out of the car and explore on foot. Different Towns on Reykjanes Peninsula Each of the towns of the peninsula that I mentioned above have unique features that attract visitors. For instance, Reykjanesbær, which is the municipality that is home to Keflavik international airport is made up of three districts: Keflavík, Hafnir and Njarvík. With a population of a little over 15,000 people, it is the largest town on the peninsula. There you will find different types of accommodations, stores, bars and museums. Suðurnesjabær Suðurnesjabær Suðurnesjabær is a fairly new municipality in Iceland. In 2018, it was created by merging Garður and Sandgerði and it has a population of about 3,000 people.

This episode of the podcast is going to take you back in time to the Pleistocene epoch of the Quaternary period, an epoch often referred to as the Ice Age. Our guest is Richard Doran Sherlock who has a particular interest in Quaternary science and megafaunal collapse. Over the years Richard has worked in many capacities including research for rewilding projects and not-for-profit groups. Since I also have a keen interest in natural history I was really glad when Richard accepted my invitation to the podcast. So, it is my pleasure to present to you an episode where we talk about Pleistocene megafauna and have a healthy discussion about what might have caused its extinction. We also touch briefly on rewilding, a topic to which we may devote an episode of its own. https://mactireblog.wordpress.com Cover photo by Ciaran McNamee

SynTalk thinks about the role of geography, ecology, biology & human behaviour behind history (both facts & principles). Did environmentally destructed land (like grasslands) lead to invasions? We discuss diverse phenomena such as invasions, climactic changes, agriculture, and burial rituals. Is genetics shaping and changing our collective perception of the past, and is there synchronicity in evolution? The concepts are derived off / from biology (Founder Effect, human genome sequence, single locus polymorphism, dispersal), history (Aryanisation), archaeology (Acheulean, Quaternary, Harappa, Chinese oracle bones), mythology (Vishnu Puranas, Kartikeya), geology (tectonic shift, Lonar Lake, ice-age) & ecology (Tundra, co-adaption), among others. Could the burial of a dead body have changed history and lead to the birth of art? What happened ~200,000 years ago, & how did modern humans evolve ~40,000 years ago? Why does mythology posit something impossible and then we try and make sense of it? We marvel at the link between cows, mango leaves, vitamin B, Indian yellow, ‘Pitambara’, frescoes, & heritage. How does some tribal marriage ritual involve ‘sunglasses’? Why don’t all modern humans produce art? The SynTalkrs are: Prof. Sheila Mishra (archaeology, Deccan College, Pune), Aman Nath (history, architecture, restoration, art, Neemrana Hotels, New Delhi), Anupam Sah (heritage conservation, CSMVS Museum Art Conservation Centre, Mumbai) & Prof. Milind Watve (evolutionary biology, IISER, Pune)
In this episode, the gang is all back in the same zip code and celebrate by having a long discussion on the origin and extinction of the large mammals from the Cenozoic known as the Megafauna. Somehow this gets.... weird. Meanwhile, James defends the Star Wars Empire, Curt argues why turtles should be ninjas instead of mere heroes, and Amanda confuses Michael Bay with Roland Emmerich. Also, congrats to Dr. Amanda Falk for defending her thesis. References: Anthony D. Barnosky et al.

Clare Island: Ice ages and Climate Change Peter Coxon Peter Coxon brilliantly outlines the effects of ice ages and climate change on Clare Island and describes how these have shaped its remarkably diverse landscape. Peter Coxon is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography. a Fellow of Trinity College Dublin and a Member of the Royal Irish Academy. He is currently the Secretary-General of the International Union of Quaternary Research (INQUA - http://www.inqua.tcd.ie/ ) and the Chairperson of the Irish Quaternary Association (IQUA - http://www.tcd.ie/Geography/IQUA/ ). After completing a PhD on 'Pleistocene environmental history in East Anglia' at the Sub-Department of Quaternary Research at the University of Cambridge, he took up a lectureship at TCD in 1979. His interests in the Irish landscape were strongly influenced by a close working relationship with the late Frank Mitchell. His current research includes analysing Irish landscape evolution during the Tertiary and Quaternary, Tertiary and Quaternary biostratigraphy, vegetational history and biogeography of Ireland, glacial and periglacial geomorphology and the analysis of flood events and mass movements in Ireland. In addition to an active interest in the geomorphology and vegetational history of western Ireland, his recent research has included mapping large-scale Pleistocene flood events and glacial limits in the Himalayas of Himachal Pradesh and in Ladakh, northern India. He has published on a range of Quaternary topics and has reviewed much of his Irish work in Charles Holland and Ian Sanders' 2nd edition of The Geology of Ireland (2009). Peter Coxon was author of the chapter "The Quaternary history of Clare Island" in New Survey of Clare Island Volume 2: Geology and is co-author of a chapter on the Holocene vegetation of the island in the forthcoming volume in the series New Survey of Clare Island Volume 7: Vegetation. www.ria.ie Disclaimer: The Royal Irish Academy has prepared the content of this website responsibly and carefully, but disclaims all warranties, express or implied, as to the accuracy of the information contained in any of the materials.

Extinctions in Near Time: Biodiversity Loss Since the Pleistocene
Hello again. Like I said before, I’m Mark Valentine and I’m going to be talking about Megafaunal Extinction and how it affects present and future biodiversity. Before I begin, you probably are going to want to know what exactly Megafauna are. Megafauna are HUGE animals. This would certainly include animals like elephants and giraffes, but also lions, tigers and bears. All these animals, however, are relatively well known and still exist in the world today. What many people don’t know is that there were many incredible Megafauna that existed a few thousand years ago that are now extinct. Around 50,000 years ago, at the end of the last Ice Age, Megafauna worldwide underwent massive and widespread extinctions . Before then, there were all kinds of amazing and enormous animals worldwide: In Eurasia, there were wooly mammoths and saber tooth cats, which you’ve probably heard of, but in North America there were beavers the size of small cars and 9 foot tall Bison with horns that spanned over 6 feet , in South America there were 5 foot tall armadillos and Giant Ground Sloths the size of elephants , and in Australia there were wombats the size of Hippopotamuses . All these animals have two things in common: One, that they are absolutely massive, and two, that they have all contributed to the historical phenomenon that Megafauna are more likely to go extinct than smaller animals . So what caused these extinctions? There are two causes. We know that human hunting lead to the extinction of many Megafaunal species, like Steller’s Sea Cow, which was basically a 30 feet long , 20,000 pound manatee . Another major cause of these extinctions was climate change. A recent study showed that climate change had significant effect on many species, and actually may have been the cause of extinction for wooly rhinos, giant bison, and other Megafauna . So what does this mean for present and future biodiversity? It’s not good. The same two factors—humans and climate—are again playing a role in Megafaunal extinctions. As humans increase in population and expand outwards, more and more animals are being threatened, and since Megafauna need more living space than other animals they are more affected. Animals including pandas and tigers are already endangered because of this. We’re also experiencing global climate shifts due to global warming, which is already causing a decline in Megafauna like the polar bear . The continued global trend of a loss of large animals is clearly leading towards one result: a world overrun with the smallest kinds of animals which can live alongside humans, or in other words, a world overrun with rodents . But this does not have to happen. If we as humans can dramatically change the way we live to reduce climate change and preserve wildlife, we can maintain biodiversity, especially among Megafauna, for much longer. The only question is, can we change? ``` Wikipedia contributors. "Quaternary extinction event." Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, 20 Nov. 2011. Web. 30 Nov. 2011.
