    Validating Geographic Research

    Send a text Can we take lessons from one location and expect similar results in another location? How does replication strengthen geographic research? Today's guest, Dr. Peter Kedron, an expert in validating geographic research, shares how he thinks about how learning about one location can translate to another location. From the Spatial Pattern Analysis and Research Lab. This episode is produced, edited, and distributed by Lizzy Schattle. Music by Arnav Srivastav.

    Climate Modeling and Plants

    Send a text How do we use models to figure out how species will respond to climate change? How can we make sure we're scaling correctly from leaf-level measurements to global models? Today we talk with Dr. Anna Trugman, a self-proclaimed reluctant ecologist, about her work predicting plant responses to climate change through environmental and physiological models. From the Spatial Pattern Analysis and Research Lab.  This episode is produced, edited, and distributed by Lizzy Schattle. Music by Arnav Srivastav.
