How deep have we actually drilled into the Earth? Turns out, not very far, just 12,262 metres (40,230 ft) or about 0.3% of the way to the center of the Earth. We talk about the challenges of this feat and about potty training cows.

November 18, 2022Episode 349 - "That Sounds Heavy" Tech Replacement
It's hard to decide when it is finally time to let go. When do you recycle that old tech and replace it? It may still work, but is it the thing holding you back, or do you just want something new and don't really need it? This week Shannon and John grappled with this exact question and talked each other into and out of some potential technology purchases
Fun Paper Friday
Everyone knows that physics can solve any problem if you simplify it enough, but biologists are fed up! This week John Doyle tells us to be more like engineers and embrace complexity in our models.

November 06, 2022Episode 348 - "Hot Juicy Magma"
Forms in fractures of rocks already in place, so it an INTRUSIVE feature
Form at right angles to the direction of extension in the area - nature’s frac jobs
Can be super thin or super thick, but generally are self-consistent
Can have multiple periods of injection or even multiple compositions of injection over time
Can get en echelon patterns, rings, and cones (last two common with caldera volcanism)
Magmatic are the most well known and form when magma flows into a crack and cools into a sheet.
The igneous rock is generally more weathering resistant so we get cool weathering features
Can be rhyolitic, but mostly basaltic
Rate of cooling determines grainsize (slow = big) and big near the center
Can have columnar jointing
Big phenocrysts orient with flow direction - cool! AMS studies show this.
These are awesome when you get them radially around a volcano!
Horizontal dikes are called sills
Clastic dikes are formed by sediments episode 177
Can be formed with fluid pressure
Cracks in permafrost that fill in
Fun Paper Friday
One plus one equals two, right? Sure, but you won't get published saying it that way.
