We speak with Sheldon from the C-Word
podcast and mine his brain for valuable nuggets of geological data.
He has a degree in geology and has experience in using his degree
in the field for oil, gas and mining industries.
We talk about uniformitarianism, catastrophism, the Younger Dryas,
plate tectonics, the Mohorovicic Discontinuity
, vulcanism,
rock formation and dating technologies, and pirates at strip
clubs.
Thanks very much to
The C Word for letting us
borrow their geologist for one show! Check them out on
Twitter
@cwordpod and on
iTunes.
Enjoy!
