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.
