  • How is Earth's Water 4.5 BILLION YEARS OLD?

    In this episode of Earth SciShow, MrEarthGuy explains how the water on Earth is older than the planet itself. Through some keen observations in early solar systems and lab experiments on Earth, we can show that water was once floating around the cosmos before becoming fused with the protoplanets that became planets today.

  • How Did Flowers Survive the Asteroid that Killed the Dinosaurs?

     In this episode of Earth SciShow, MrEarthGuy explores the fascinating history of flowering plants, or angiosperms, and how they managed to survive and diversify after the cataclysmic event that wiped out most of the life on Earth 66 million years ago. We discuss a new study that uses DNA family trees to estimate the extinction rates of angiosperms across their entire history, and what it reveals about their resilience and adaptation. We also talk about the implications of this study for the current biodiversity crisis, and how we can protect the plants that provide us with so many benefits.

  • How Rock Weathering Can Help Cool Down the Planet

    In this episode, we explore how a natural process called enhanced chemical weathering can remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and lower global temperatures. We learn how this process worked in the past to recover the Earth’s climate from episodes of rapid and intense warming. We also discuss the potential and challenges of using this process as a solution to the current climate crisis. Join us as we dive into the fascinating world of geology and climate science.

  • The Galapagos of Asia - Miyako island Evolution

    In this episode of Earth SciShow MrEarthGuy dives into the fascinating world of endemic evolution. We visit the hidden Ryukyu Islands south of Japan to learn about a fascinating process of speciation among two reptiles. We learn about how geological process like Plate tectonics influenced the biodiversity across the islands and what impacts it had on the populations.

  • The End of the Coal Age

    In this episode of Earth SciShow MrEarthGuy discusses the fascinating occurrence of one type of fungi which evolved 300 million years ago which altered the future of planet Earth. Not only was it responsible for the end of the coal age but it also has great implications for the future of our planet

  • Climate Change vs Human Evolution

    In this episode of Earth SciShow MrEarthGuy takes a look at new research which suggests climate change may have had a detrimental impact on the human evolution story. Could the influence of rainfall variability and external factors such as the Milankovitch Cycles changed the course of human history which lead us to today?
