Moss!! Amazing plants that are even more amazing the closer you look at them! We talk about what defines a moss, moss reproduction, and the importance of disturbance. Plus there's a musical treasure if you make it to the end. The audio is weird in this one about halfway through, but at least we made it halfway through an episode with decent audio.

More hydrology! Kyle shares his experience with hydrology and its various topics, how surface water and groundwater interact, and his own (potential) PhD work! Plus we follow a long tangent on Henri Philibert Gaspard Darcy and the unrecognized heroes of the Eiffel Tower. Also featuring the birds of Washington State in the background (as outside is the best place to record).

Hydrology! Water! Wetlands! Watersheds! Amy talks about how hydrology factors into her work, we discuss policy in working around water, and there's a several minute tangent on beavers!

Karst?! If you don't know what karst is, it's not your fault - just the fault of the public school system. Join us to learn about this widespread geologic phenomenon, along with some tangents on how geology should be included in K-12 schools and some volcano updates. 

Phenology! Cycles! Found! On! Earth! In this episode we chat about phenology, natural changes we're experiencing in our respective locations across the country as spring arrives, and the importance of studying these cycles. The audio was a little wonky in this episode, but in a different way - we'll figure it out eventually. 

VOLCANOES! Our favorite charismatic geologic feature! What are volcanoes and the types of volcanoes out there? How do volcanoes form? How do volcanoes go extinct? What's up with Iceland? Listen to find out! And as a bonus Kyle shares his favorite geology movie of ALL TIME.

Amy shares about her experience as an environmental educator! We dive into our environmental education experiences as students, the difference between formal and informal education, pedagogies commonly found in environmental education, and why environmental education is important. Amy stands on her soapbox of restoration education and Kyle even COMPARES experiential education to mRNA vaccines.

Geology! It's more than rocks! Kyle leads a rousing discussion on what geology is, the history of the field, and what studying geology looks like. You won't want to miss it! Our audio was wonky in this episode too, but we fixed it in Episode 3.
