Reading many of the discussions below, I think an article showing the maths behind the impact EV’s like tesla have on a country’s carbon footprint with different power generation scenarios would be very helpful and interesting to readers.

The heat flux from volcanos is insignificant compared to the flux from solar radiation. Infact, volcanos worldwide have a net cooling effect on the atmosphere. It’s not discussed because its trivial to the problem. Source? I’m a geophysicist. But don’t just take my word for it: http://www.higp.hawaii.edu/~wright/geolog…

So I found out that there may be some seismic posters at AGU that relate to this project. The EM Magnetotelluric studies haven’t yet been published yet. However if you’re interested I could introduce you to my friend/colleage who is presenting research on mid continental rift structure using similar techniques (he’s…

Except we have repeat photography on these glaciers taken at the same time during the year from early 1900’s till today. These glaciers will completely dissapear within 4 years. I should know, I did the study.

Glacial Ice is very very different than snowpack. Its easy to see. Also, I worked and wrote the last mass balance study on these two glaciers as part of my Physics BS.

So a few things here. First, Yellowstone and Yosemite are two very different national parks.

But the water cycle reacts quickly to atmospheric disequilibrium between water vapor and liquid water; the increased warming effect from water vapor introduced via fossil fuels ultimately isn’t much compared to other sources.

could be cool i suppose.

What episode is this from??

Evolution in action + underlying mechanism study. Perfect.

So uhh.. where does pi come out of their discovery? is it that the orbitals become more circular as the limit approaches infinity? or some other weird ratio thing?

I actually worked on this project this summer. I collected a bunch of Magnetotelluric data from the vicinity. We hope to have up to ~130 MT stations included in a resistivity model that I *think* will be presented at a poster session at this years Fall AGU conference.

Sounds like a wonderful thing to explore. But..

This perfectly encapsulates my reaction to any physics talk during my first 2 years of undergrad.

Calculus solves this easy. Just do DT/Dx = 0 and solve for x.

“Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy”

As a recent undergrad grad trying to get into volcanology.. :( its hard man. Dr. Mark Richard is pretty awesome though.

in Highschool I made a raingun from scratch. it had a huge 350 Joule 450v capacitor bank, brass rails, and an air compressor pre-accelerator. I taught myself circuit theory and made a Dc-Dc converter circuit that would charge the capacitor bank from a battery bank of 24v. It totally scared so many people, but I had…

yeah the long frequencies you’d need to presumably send EM down to the tunnel interior from the surface would definitely not give you gun turret resolution.

Why not include a geologist/geophysicist (NOT the same as a soil scientist)?
