<p>Andy's recent paper discussed: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adx9442</p><p>Substack: https://substack.com/@rocksforjocks</p><p>In this episode, I host Andy Jones, a PhD candidate in Geoscience at the University of Wisconsin Madison. We focus on Andy's recently published research in the Sierra Nevada of California, where glaciers are disappearing for the first time in 30,000 years! We cover the formation, recession, and climatic impact of glaciers. Andy also shares insights from other projects, including glacier studies in the Tropical Andes, emphasizing the human implications of glacier melt and the critical need for climate action. </p><p>Listen and follow  “Rocks for Jocks” on Substack!</p><ul><li>00:00 Intro</li><li>04:18 Glaciers' Role in Climate Regulation</li><li>06:51 California's Disappearing Glaciers</li><li>08:39 Historical Context of Expansion and Retreat</li><li>20:00 Climate Change and Glacial Response</li><li>29:59 Future Research</li></ul><p>Music: 368 by Dyalla</p><p><br /></p>
