Water Water Everywhere

Geology and Drought in the Southwest with Dr. Cianna Wyshnytzky

Dr. Cianna Wyshnytzky is a Geologist with the Natural Resources Conservation Service and is a member of the Southwest Drought Learning Network. She talks to us about her journey to becoming a *Doctor*, how majoring in German and Geology helped her end up in the European Alps, and about her current job working with agriculturists in Northern Utah. Listen, learn, and laugh as we talk about the unspoken bond between Geology and Hydrology and about the future of water scarcity in the American Southwest. 

Captain Lila Returns

This week we have a very special episode as our resident marine scientist, Captain Lila Glansberg, returns from the sea. She recounts her epic tales while out on the big blue ocean as Carly is coming down from a boozy brunch. We learn all about what happens on a research vessel from the science all the way to the steamy relationSHIPS made at sea. So dive in and get wet! 

The Giant Squid Episode

How big it is? Team length or girth? Do you know about the Kraken? These are some of the questions we answer in this weeks episode about the elusive giant squid. Lila takes us on our deepest dive yet to expose all there is to know about these enormous invertebrate. Come for the science, stay for the many laughs and left field pop culture references.

Water Resources Management with Christina Morrisett

Welcome back water weirdo's! This week we are diving into a topic that affects everyone on the planet, water resources management. Our guest, Christina Morrisett is a PhD candidate in Logan, UT. Christina and Carly discuss the Lower Henry's Fork of the Snake River in Idaho and ways to combat depleting water resources.

 

BONUS: Find out if Christina is team #hydroflask or #nalgene. Dive in and get wet!

The Future of Hydrogen Production with Siri and Kristin

Hydrogen could help us combat climate change but of course, like many renewable energy sources, there’s red tape, policy, and big oil in the way. Listen to this weeks episode to hear our very first guests, Kristin Rounds and Siri Chillara teach us about the use of hydrogen in a decarbonized future. Kristin works as a public utilities regulatory analyst for the state of California and Siri, an engineer, has done some interesting research into producing hydrogen in a clean, green way while studying at the Arava Institute (hint:where Lila and Carly met). So dive in and get wet.
