The Geology Flannelcast

This episode the Flannelcasters talk about William "Strata" Smith.  He was dubbed the "Father of English Geology".  The gang also talks about really big dinosaurs, debters prison, and Victorian England.

In this installment of the Geology Flannelcast Chris, Jesse, and Steve discuss the most fundamental question in all of geology- how does a rock become a rock. The gang also talks about how Yosemite Valley formed, what happens when lightening strikes a mountain, and Jesse's favorite month of the year. 

For the 3rd and final mini Flannelcast, Steve talks about his research in analyzing the lead in the soils of Philadelphia.  Spoiler alert: tacky Led Zeppelin references ahead!  Jesse is still searching for an intro/outro song.

This is 2nd installment of the mini Flannelcasts. Jesse teaches everyone how to reconstruct the climate from 100 million years ago using soils, Chris tries to dominate the conversation, and Steve lays down the law.

This episode is the first of 3 shorts featuring each of the Flannelcasters area of research and expertise. This dose of the Flannelcast features Chris Seminack giving a low down on hurricanes, barrier islands, and why New Orleans is has a real issue with sea-level rise. As per the norm, antics ensue and Steve gives his 2 cents about getting sand in your bathing suit.

In Episode 4 we talk about remote sensing, Galileo, ghost sounds, volcanoes & global warming, Heathcliff, and more valuable life lessons from the Flannelcasters. As promised here is the video that talks about why the planets orbit in a preferred plane in space.

In Episode 3, the Flannelcasters are joined by special guest Matt Sophy. The gang reviews natural disasters of 2013, how to speak Icelandic, cooking pasta, and the greatest cinnamon rolls in the world

Chris, Jesse, and Steve explain everything you wanted to know about the Appalachian Mountains, Jesse talks about his rock that is 1 billion years old, Iceland drills for magma, and how glaciers carved up the Rockies. Also check out Glaciers in Rocky Mountain National Park throughout time. 

Chris, Jesse, and Steve tackle plate tectonics, their favorite Canadians, why physicists hate geologists, and how to podcast on the beaches of Hawaii in the inaugural episode of the Geology Flannelcast
