We are teaching and traveling with the start of the semester. Since John has no solid cell phone signal at a conference in New Hampshire and Shannon is swimming in lecturing, we wanted to share one of our favorite interviews from this year! This week a special guest takes us to the moon by talking about lunar rocks and meteorites! The moon turns out to be a fascinating place, but probably won’t break up like in Seveneves.

2016/08/05

Having just got back from vacationing near a river, Shannon’s mind is wondering (and wandering!) about dams and their impacts, both good and bad. People use dams for electricity, recreation, flood control, and a myriad of other things. Let’s take a look at some huge dams and what they do to both communities and rivers. Oroville (1968) is the tallest in the US, and earthen dam in CA 770’ high Hoover (1935) is next at 726’ high on the border of AZ and NV Tallest dam in the world is Jingping-I dam
