In our inaugural episode of Earth News Interviews, we get into a discussion about the K-Pg extinction event with geophysicist and extinction aficionado, Dr. Charly Bank. We learn about the discovery of a flood layer in North Dakota which may have been deposited in the first hours after impact, and find out what it can tell us about that fateful day.
