  • When Continents Became Stable

    When Continents Became Stable
    May 9 2024

    Today we really go into the weeds.

    Jesse and a colleague just published a paper in the journal Nature that proposes a new model for how continents became stable. Stable continents have all the granite at the surface, which contains all the heat producing elements like U and Th and K - elements that decay away.

    Today, we discuss that paper in detail, and along the way learn a bit about the early Earth, what we know and don't know!

    Here is a link to the paper, which is open access and can be downloaded by anyone without paying.

  • Earth's Oldest Stuff

    Earth's Oldest Stuff
    May 2 2024

    Today, Chris and Jesse get into a discussion about Earth’s oldest material. Earth is 4.568 Billion years old. First of all, that’s amazing the geochronologists have refined this down to 3 decimal places. How do we know this? The oldest grains ever found are 4.38 billion years old. If that’s the case, then how do we know the Earth is significantly older than that? Join us as we answer that and many other important questions about Earth’s oldest stuff.
