This podcast is a little get together to celebrate the soil, and the living and non-living beings residing within the pedosphere. With the help of wonderful guests, we investigate the privilege of the human in relation to the soil. I am a bog-loving, bog-researching PhD candidate with a past in climate. You can read more about me at tanyal.earth. In the meantime, let's just get wet and dirty, talk about microbial processes and ombrotrophic spaces.

  1. WORLD BOG DAY with Angela Gallego-Sala [xxxvi]

    WORLD BOG DAY with Angela Gallego-Sala [xxxvi]

    Angela Gallego-Sala joins us in this episode to discuss their peatland research. This episode is being on International Bog day which is on the 24th July. Angela is a professor at the University of Exeter and is a specialist in peatlands. Angela is working to understand why peatlands form in certain places and other places not and is working towards improving the mapping of peatlands globally. Peatlands are wet, carbon rich ecosystems where dead plant material, or OM, is not given the opportunity to break down. For this reason, peatlands store large amounts of carbon and even play a role regulating the Earth’s climate. SPOILER ALERT: Angela expects that peatlands may expand with human-induced climate change because this is what we’ve witnessed under previous periods of climate warming. We also discuss the implications that accompany protecting peatlands from agricultural land use in developing countries with widespread poverty. Angela is also a member and organiser of C-PEAT - an international consortium of peatland scientists, attended the COP26 in Glasgow to contribute to the Peatland Pavillion. Angela also contributes to PAGES, an international palaeoclimate research group. Soil Matters respectfully acknowledges all indigenous peoples connected to the soils and lands across this planet. We particularly offer respect to the elders past, present, and emerging that are, have been, or will be caretakers of peatlands.

    Weed, women, & home soil [Jacq Doherty, masharu] [xxiv]

    This is a queer coming of age story about Jacq's journey into weed and women. The Northern Ireland peatlands are the backdrop during this defining journey and we discuss the role of their home soil, these beautiful and windswept landscapes. Jacq Doherty is a local expert in cannabinoid edibles around Amsterdam. The pilgrimage to become the head baker of weed edibles has been inseparable from their inner and outer journey exploring queer women. Amsterdam coffee shop recommendations: La Tertulia on the Prinsengracht. Mother & Daughter owned. Organic weed, organic drinks etc, clean and cool place! Best vegan edibles in the city 😉 Yeah the Otherside in the East. It's a shop owned by gay ppl.. It’s a nice place to sit. They are old school! Coffeeshop Amsterdam in Haarlemerstraat. Part of the Amsterdam genetics which is a franchise. Is Jacq's local. It's not queer per se but there are often queers in it. It’s open, friendly and good quality. Part of a franchise.

  3. FIRE research, climate change, & humans during the Holocene [Yoshi Maezumi][xxxv]

    FIRE research, climate change, & humans during the Holocene [Yoshi Maezumi][xxxv]

    Yoshi Maezumi has completed a huge amount of research comparing two major fire drivers - humans and climate change. And spoiler alert! Humans always win. Yoshi’s work has focused on the Holocene, the most recent geological period. The Holocene is a warm period, that follows the highly variable Pleistocene and begins about 11,500 years ago. Yoshi has done a huge amount of work to understand fire behaviour in South America. Yoshi has worked on understanding the role of fire in human crop cultivation throughout the Holocene. Yoshi’s work has increased our understanding of the ways humans have used fire to modify the landscape to aid crop cultivation. This understanding is a contrast to the view that indigenous peoples were almost entirely hunter gatherers.

    HOT research: fires & carbon emissions [Dave van Wees][xxxiv]

    Dave van Wees uses satellite data to produce world class fire emission estimates and has even found novel new uses for this method - such as estimating the carbon sink capacity over time. 50% of global land area burned by fire during an average year occurs on the African continent. Indonesian peatland fires can be equivalent to ALL anthropogenic emissions in 1 year! That’s a lot of emissions! Land and ocean sinks continue to sequester carbon at the same rate (compared to 60 years ago) despite more GHGs in the atmosphere. This was a knowledge rich, fascinating and stellar episode that was broadcast live on radiopatapoe.nl from the VU Amsterdam on 3rd December 2021. Thank you Dave for a ripper podcast. I wish you all the best on your journey!

    Erotic Climate Action [Stefanie Wells][xxxiii]

    In this episode I interview Stefanie Wells. Stephanie wells is a champion of Sextinction Rebellion, working in the Erotic Department of Extinction Rebellion Amsterdam. As well as being a hardcore climate activist, Stefanie Wells is a fabulous anti-fashion-designer from the Netherlands. We speak about the XR erotic calendar that has been produced for 2022. In this episode, Stefanie gives us a how-to on how to become an anti-fashion-designer and we touch on ways to make trash fabulous. This episode was broadcast live on radiopatapoe.nl on 5th November 2021 from Nieuwland.cc.

  6. COP26 update [xxxii]

    2021. 11. 10.

    COP26 update [xxxii]

    We review the outcomes of the COP26 thus far.  Short-term GHG emissions reduction targets (proposed policy enacted before 2050) will lead to 2.4 degrees of warming by 2100.  Long-term GHG emissions reduction targets (proposed policy enacted before 2070) will lead to 1.9 degrees of warming by 2100. Global Checkpoints to become annual. The next checkpoint will occur in late 2022. This is to motivate governments and industries to work to reduce emissions before 2030. We review the net-zero GHG emissions targets here: https://eciu.net/netzerotracker The episode was broadcast live on radiopatoe.nl on 10th November 2021.

  7. COP26 preparations [xxxi]

    COP26 preparations [xxxi]

    We are in the lead up to the 26th Conference Of the Parties. The aim of COP26 is to produce a text outlining what happens next in regards to climate change. The previous major meeting in Paris, led to the Paris Climate Accord; the strongest, firmest international climate agreement ever. The good news: The corporate world, governments, and civil society generally agree that climate change is happening and that we need to do something about it. More countries have net zero emissions targets than ever before. Price of renewables are decreasing. The bad news: It is unlikely that we will move fast enough to mitigate the worst effects of climate change. The 5 main points at COP26: 1. Coal must go. To give up coal, we need to decarbonise the world economy before 2050. and asap. Targets need to be turned into policies. 2. The carbon pricing system must evolve. Multilateral Development Banks (MDB) play important roles. 3. Rich countries caused the damage. The question of who pays remains largely unanswered. 4. Recognise that vulnerable countries need help transitioning and adapting. 5. Investments in adaptation must increase. The COP26 World Bank Meeting emphasised 4 main financial actions: 1. Pricing carbon. We must shift from $3/tonne today to $75/tonne in 2050. 2. more fiscal investment in green transformation - urban development, water management 3. recognise vulnerable communities/countries that need help. 4. prioritise adaptation in those countries who are heavily impacted but have contributed very little. Climate related investments are increasing but are tiny. 1/4 of 1% of total investment flows. More commitments regarding finance dedicated to climate action are needed. More funding needs to be being allocated to adaptation. We must accelerate financing aligned with the Paris Agreement policies. Featured audio recordings: 1.

  8. IPCC 2021: Key messages [xxx]

    IPCC 2021: Key messages [xxx]

    The IPCC Assessment Report 6 (AR6) Working Group I (WGI) report was published last month. The first assessment report (AR1) was published in 1990. WGI reports the Physical Science Basis and will be followed by Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability (WGII), and Mitigation of Climate Change (WGIII). AR6 WGI delivers this report with much higher urgency. I outline 3 key messages, followed by the 17 key scientific points. For the die hards out there, I  read out the second half of the Summary for Policy Makers (having read the first half in an earlier live episode). KEY MESSAGES: 1. Climate change is measurable and has been observed. 2. Induced levels of greenhouse gases (GHGs), particularly CO2, will cause a threat to human way of life and the biosphere. 3. Reductions of GHG are needed to reduce the impacts and risks of future climate change. SCIENTIFIC POINTS (1st 5 of 17): 1. Climate change is more visible and is increasing intensity, more than expected and indicated in earlier assessment reports. 2. Natural variability influences extreme events. We are now seeing more extreme events. 3. There is now more water vapour in the atmosphere. This has led to more flooding. 4. Current warming has already increased cyclone, hurricanes, and tropical storms. 5. Reducing GHGs and decreased deforestation are necessary. Thank you all for listening! This episode was broadcast live on radiopatapoe.nl on Friday 1st October 2021.
