Description
<p>Explore the secrets locked in Antarctica’s permafrost as we dive into soil formation, ecosystem changes, and climate impacts in the world’s coldest desert. Guest Dr. Joe Levy, a geomorphologist and planetary scientist, shares insights from years of fieldwork in Antarctica’s dry valleys and how studying “cold dirt” offers clues about Earth’s past and Mars’ potential. Discover how warming temperatures and permafrost thaw could transform this frozen landscape into a carbon sink—or trigger unforeseen consequences. Join us as we learn about ancient soils, microbial mats, and the surprising parallels between Antarctica and Mars in this fascinating episode of <em>South Pole</em>.</p><br><p><strong>Episode Guest</strong>: Dr. Joe Levy</p><p>Learn more about Dr. Levy <a href="https://www.colgate.edu/about/directory/jlevy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></p><p>Browse Dr. Levy’s publications <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=rzz1D2AAAAAJ&hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></p><p>Follow Dr. Levy on <a href="https://twitter.com/colddirt?lang=en-GB" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">X</a></p><p>Learn more about the Cold Dirt Lab <a href="https://sites.google.com/colgate.edu/levy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a></p><br><p>Episode Transcript and more information on the <a href="http://pineforestpods.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pine Forest Media </a>Website</p><p>Follow Pine Forest Media on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pineforestmedia/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@pineforestmedia</a></p><p>Hosted, produced, written, and edited by Clark Marchese </p><p>Cover art and PFM logo by<a href="https://laurelawong.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Laurel Wong</a>. </p><p>Theme music by <a href="http://nelaruizcomposer.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nela Ruiz</a></p><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
