Here is a link to the paper we discuss in this episode: In this episode, we talk about meandering streams. Why don't rivers flow in straight paths? As soon as a river flattens out, it begins to meander. It’s these meanders that manage the energy of the water. How? They really do 2 things: 1- they increase the resistance (physics) and 2- they decrease the gradient. Essentially, the river is changing itself to minimize the energy it expends to maintain a state of equilibrium. We also get into some detail. Meanders are not random. They are directly related to the width of the river and also the radius of the meander curvature. It's a really cool aspects to river morphology. We also talk about things that can start meanders. And finally, we briefly discuss one of geology's more beautiful features - entrenched meanders. We hope you enjoy! Download the CampGeo app now at this link .

In this episode of Planet Geo, we dive deep into the fascinating topic of the age of the Earth and how planets form. We talk about why the age of the Earth is estimated to be around 4.55 billion years and the scientific methods behind determining this age, dating back to the 1955 discovery by Claire Patterson. We discuss the processes involved in planet formation from the solar nebula, the role of uranium and lead isotopes in dating rocks and minerals, the impact of planetary events such as the formation of the moon, and why Earth's active geological processes make it difficult to have original rocks from its formation. We also compare the precision of dating meteorites with dating Earth and explore concepts like the nebular theory, melting events, and planetary isochrons. By the end of the episode, we hope to provide a clear understanding of the complexities and fascinating science behind how our planet, and planets in general, come to be and how we determine their ages.
