Lori Glaze on Nudging Asteroids
Dante Lauretta and Lori Glaze both studied asteroids at NASA. Check out Lori’s Sci and Tell episode here:
Read MoreRelating Seismicity and Volcano Eruptions
Melissa Scruggs is currently earning her Ph.D. in volcanology. We know that earthquakes tend to coincide with volcanic eruptions, so what if we could use earthquakes to remotely predict the eruptions? This Eos article explains:

Prosanta Chakrabarty studies ichthyology, specifically fishes & evolution. But we don’t think he ever looked into one of the loudest animals in the ocean. What if we told you that that animal is… a shrimp? Check out this Third Pod episode w/Joe Haxel to learn more:
Read MoreAncient Start of Animal Evolution Wasn’t Delayed by Low Oxygen
Prosanta Chakrabarty studies ichthyology, specifically fishes & evolution. For a long time, scientists believed that low oxygen on Earth stagnated evolution. But that might not be true…:

Saleh Ahmed researches climate change in coastal Bangladesh and India, helping to ensure safe conditions for everyone. In a previous Third Pod episode, we talked to Chris Scott, who is working on making sure everyone has access to clean water:
Read MoreChasing Narwhals, Unicorns of the Sea
Prosanta Chakrabarty studies ichthyology, specifically fishes & evolution. But we don’t think he ever looked into unicorns (of the sea, that is). Part of biologist Kristin Laidre’s job is to track down narwhals – not a bad gig. We talked to her about her job on Third Pod:

As Director of the Earth Sciences division at NASA, Karen St. Germain oversees lots of satellites that collect data to help us better understand the Earth. The September 2020 issue of Eos highlights some of these projects.
Read MoreCan Satellites Fill Gaps in Agricultural Water Monitoring?
The Earth Sciences division at NASA, which Karen St. Germain is the director of, works on groundbreaking research in Earth Science using satellites. One question scientists have been asking is whether satellites can help us monitor water usage- but research suggests that it might not be effective. David Shultz explains in this Eos article.
