  Send us a textEpisode 4 – Ancient Oceans, Modern ConsequencesEvery time we make our morning coffee, jump in a car, or turn on a light, we have prehistoric oceans to thank. In episode 4 of Peak & Plunge, we talk to special guest Joanie Kleypas, a senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research based in Boulder, Colorado. As an inlander climate AND coral scientist, she’s the perfect person to help illuminate how fossil fuels, climate change, inland choices, and ocean health are all interconnected. Why aren’t most fossil fuels actually dead dinosaurs? What the HECK even is coral? And what does our dependence on fossil fuels, inland or otherwise, mean for the future of the sparkling blue?Listen and find out! -----Peak & Plunge Episode 4: Ancient Oceans, Modern Consequences----- External LinksNational Center for Atmospheric Research - https://ncar.ucar.edu/Artwork AttributionsPodcast Cover Artwork by Mercedes Schultz.Music And Sound AttributionsFluidscape by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.

• Healthy Soils, Healthy Seas

  Send us a textLet’s remember… everything goes somewhere. In episode 2 of Peak & Plunge, we talk to special guests Seth Watkins and Mia Glover about how inland agriculture, our food systems, climate, and the oceans all relate. Seth is the owner of Pinhook Farm, where he raises beef cattle, hair sheep, chickens, bees… and where he challenges agricultural convention daily. He sees the connections between what he does on the farm and the oceans of the world - and strives to steward and bolster those connections instead of conquering and degrading them. Can where you buy food make the difference between clean beaches and a lot of dead fish? Listen and find out! -----Peak & Plunge Episode 2: Healthy Soils, Healthy Seas----- Supplementary Pictures and VideosVideo 1 – Understanding Our Soils, a GREAT visual guide to nitrogen, fertilizers, and soils.
