Showing results for "Dirt" in Earth Sciences

This fascinating yet disquieting audiobook finds that we are running out of dirt, and it's no laughing matter. An engaging natural and cultural history of soil that sweeps from ancient civilizations to modern times, Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations explores the compelling idea that we are, and have long been, using up Earth's soil. Once bare of protective vegetation and exposed to wind and rain, cultivated soils erode bit by bit, slowly enough to be ignored in a single lifetime but fast enough over centuries to limit the lifespan of civilizations.

From designing solar foundations to erosion hazard assessments, It’s Soil Not Dirt focuses on all aspects of geotechnical engineering and the topics that matter most today, with an emphasis on sustainability and renewables.

Kevin and his guests dig a little deeper into subjects and issues around growing food, gardening, farming, soil health and the climate crisis facing planet earth.

Welcome to "The Dirt on Earth" geology podcast! Earth and planetary science.

Brought to you by Loam, 'The Dirt' takes a closer look at how new technologies (particularly CarbonBuilder), science, and land management strategies can increase soil organic carbon (SOC) and turn your dirt into healthier agricultural soils. Dan Reid from the Loam talks to farmers as well as experts from Loam and the agriculture industry about the basics of increasing carbon build, integrating new technologies on-farm, and participating in SecondCrop soil carbon projects in Australia.

“Digging in the Dirt” is a podcast and radio show featured on WPKN (wpkn.org) with climate change experts and activists, promoting organic and regenerative farming techniques, showing the way to grow healthier food in a way that respects the planet’s health. In addition to nationally known movers and shakers in this niche, Kevin loves to feature food authors, local farmers and gardeners pushing the envelope by encouraging us to take personal responsibility, as consumers and gardeners, toward the environment on our properties and urban lots. These guests give us methods, ideas and recipes...
