    Ep 6_Dragons of Inaction - Why don't we do more to curb our individual contributions to climate change?

    As individuals, there is much more we could be doing to curb our contributions to climate change. Most of us know this - but then why do we have such a difficult time acting on this understanding? This guest episode, hosted and produced by Sarah Friesen, explores how the psychological 'Dragons of Inaction' work to impede our pro-environmental behaviour choices.

This shifting of baselines was catastrophic for the Newfoundland cod fishery, and ultimately led to the collapse of fishery. This episode is the first of a series describing how technology and population science were drivers in fueling the improper management of the Newfoundland cod fishery.

    Eruptions From the Deep

    The legend went that evil spirits would infrequently emerge from the lake to take the lives of those around it. Turns out, this isn't all myth; instead, it's grounded in geomythology - when cultures craft myths to explain historic geologic events. In 1986, the lake wrought havoc again, killing nearly 2,000 people overnight in an event called a limnic eruption.

    Salty Streams

    What do salted winter roads and water issues like that of Flint, Michigan have to do with one another? ...More than you think. Today we spoke with Anurag Mantha, a graduate student in the lab of Marc Edwards at Virginia Tech, about how increasing levels of salt in our environment are leading to the salinization of our freshwater, with potentially catastrophic consequences for our drinking water.
