About Core Ideas - The Paleolimnology Podcast

Paleolimnology is the science (and art) of reconstructing the past environments of fresh water systems. Join Adam Jeziorski and Josh Thienpont as they wade through the wide variety of topics covered by this interdisciplinary field. Whether you are already an expert at collecting sediment cores and microscope identifications, or you simply have an interest in environmental issues such as acid rain, eutrophication, and climate change, this podcast will help make the natural records that surround us as clear as mud.

   Ep. 62: What's in a (Lake) Name?

   Today we’re exploring something quite simple - lake names. Anyone who has spent much time on the water will have recognized there are a lot of ‘Clear Lakes’ out there, so we decided to do take a look at some common and unhelpful naming tropes that have been used to catalog many waterways (along with some less common).

   Ep. 60: The Anthropocene Remains Undefined

   ‘Odd Couplets’ concludes by revisiting a previously discussed topic with some new information. The International Union on Geological Sciences' Submission on Quaternary Stratigraphy has decided to NOT establish a new epoch, and the ‘Anthropocene’ remains undefined. This decision intersects paleolimnology, philosophy, policy and a lot of other things.
