The History of Granite - Dr. Mike Ackerson

In charge of the Nations Rock Collection.  That's a pretty sweet job description.  Join us as we have the honor of interviewing Dr. Mike Ackerson.  In this episode, we certainly get into some detail about igneous petrology.  Mike and Jesse are good friends and have spent some time discussing things that introductory geology classes take for granted.  For instance, there are some questions on the formation of granite.  This might seem ridiculous because this topic is covered in any intro level geology class, but there are some problems.

We also talk philosophically about geoscience education and scientific research.  In all, this discussion spans too many areas to summarize here.  We hope you enjoy!
