<p>My guest today is Dr. Ella Holme, a postdoc at Yale University. Dr. Holme talks about her research on the mineral olivine as a potential antidote for climate change. Olivine can remove carbon dioxide from air and water, and further research into this mineral can help counteract increasing CO2 emissions. We also talk about how olivine is like the Hulk, and how Dr. Holme's path into geology started from childhood fears of tsunamis, climate change, and... werewolves. </p><p>Dr. Holme's Twitter: @BandedEllaFrmtn</p>

Interview: Fixing Climate Change with Dr. Ella Holme

This podcast starts at the beginning of Earth's prehistory and works forward through time.  Bedrock will explore the first 90% of Earth’s past, a time known as the Precambrian Era.  Before humans, before dinosaurs… there was the Precambrian.
The Earth was an incredibly alien world, but not a dead one. 
Along the way, you will build a mental toolkit to see the world like a geologist. You will never look at a mountain, the moon, or pond scum in quite the same way again.

Welcome to Bedrock.
