Episode 164: Marcia Bjornerud - Turning To Stone

Marcia Bjornerud is an American structural geologist and writer. She is the Walter Schober Professor of Environmental Studies and Professor of Geosciences at Lawrence University. She is also the author of Timefulness, Reading The Rocks, and Turning To Stone: Discovering the Subtle Wisdom of Rocks. On this episode of Nature Revisited, Bjornerud helps us interpret the language of the rocks that surround us, and reveals how our lives can be enriched by understanding our heritage on this old and creative planet. Earth has been reinventing itself for more than four billion years and rocks are the hidden infrastructure that keep the planet functioning, from sandstone aquifers purifying the water we drink to basalt formations slowly regulating global climate.
