PlanetGeo: The Geology Podcast

Is Geology Getting Worse?

Chris and Jesse Season 4 Episode 39

In this episode of "Planet Geo," we delve into whether geological events such as earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, and extreme weather are becoming more common or severe. Through a lively and humorous discussion, including a guest appearance from Joyce!, we explore the statistical analysis of earthquakes over the past 35 years, concluding that large earthquakes are not increasing in frequency or severity. We also discuss the possible impacts of climate change on landslides and extreme weather events, the role of improved technology and social media in expanding awareness of these events, and touch on the intersection of geoscience with other fields like biology and planetary science. The episode is packed with insightful data analysis, relatable anecdotes, and a touch of personal banter.
