Islands in the stream (that is what we build) - with Dr. Doug Edmonds
About this episode
Joining the show today is Dr. Doug Edmonds, a sedimentologist interested in how sediment is generated, transported, and deposited and how that may change over time. Hear about sediment's role in human habitation and resource development, whether state boundaries are accurate, how LiDAR works for measuring topography, the balance between field and computer work, and about cell phones in schools (and the olden days when you had to actually press out text messages using T9 - look it up).
