Extinctions: Dinosaurs, a big rock, and…climate change?
from Third Pod from the Sun · host American Geophysical Union
When you hear the word “extinction,” chances are you probably think of the extinction of the dinosaurs and a big rock. But did you know that there were other factors at play that lead to that extinction including volcanos and sea-level rise? We talked with David Mascato and Will Harris of the Common Descent podcast about dinosaurs (of course), K-Pg misconceptions, and what an asteroid-included change in climate then can teach us about climate change now.This episode was produced by Shane M Hanlon and mixed by Collin Warren.
