I discuss downloading sediment core data from NOAA and the attacks on the government science institutions in the United States. Finally, I have a discussion on DEI.My recently published papers:- Rovere et al (2025): https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2025.109659- Gowan et al (2025): https://doi.org/10.1186/s40645-024-00681-4-----Episode 5 Deep Dive - Greenhouse Effect-----I introduce the Greenhouse Effect, and why even though the concentration of greenhouse gases are small, they play a large role in keeping the planet at a livable temperature.-----Episode 5 - More on the Greenhouse Effect-----I discuss the historical background on how the Greenhouse Effect was discovered, as well as how it came to be called the "greenhouse effect". I also discuss the greenhouse effect on Venus and Mars.-----Episode 5 - Papers-----The first paper I go over is on determining paleo sea level from a beach ridge in Argentina. This research was part of the WARMCOASTS project, which I was part of. I briefly go through four other papers.References:- Rovere et al (2025): https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2025.109659- Barker et al (2025): https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adp3491- Creel et al (2024): https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-54535-0- de Wit et al (2025): https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-17-545-2025- Vacchi et al (2025): https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-56721-0Thanks to Alessio Rovere for some of the pictures used here, and of course for being a great mentor on investigating raised coastal deposits!WARMCOASTS - Sea level and extreme waves in the Last Interglacial: This project received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (grant agreement no. 802414)----Thank you to:----Raised Beaches Podcast logo by Aurooj: https://www.instagram.com/artbytinyleaf/Sean for the Raised Beaches Podcast theme songThat Blasted Salami, who helped me get started: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5GTc4yWm-yiBFTuV3MsGaQFollow Dr. Evan J.
