Storing CO2

Previously, we talked about how Earth transfers naturally produced carbon between sky, sea, and soil. Today, scientists are working to put CO2 from fossil-fuel combustion and agriculture back into the ground rather than into the atmosphere—by mimicking Earth’s natural carbon cycle.

Radioactive Traveler

What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in the oceans almost never stays put. Ocean currents transport materials across vast distances. So if something unpleasant happens in one spot in the oceans, its effects may be felt thousands of miles away.

Swingin’ Down the Lane with David Miller at 6pm

Details about this week’s episode:

  • Episode 2134
  • In Memoriam: Astrud Gilberto
  • The death of Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto on June 6, 2023 has led to exploration of her music, steeped in the tradition of bossa nova, a rhythmic style that captured the imagination of Americans as well as Brazilians.
Dedicated to keeping the big band sound alive and well. Big bands have been around since the 1920s, and the recent interest in swing music has rekindled the flame. New generations are thrilling to Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, and of course the illustrious Duke Ellington.
