Welcome to ESA's podcast index! ESA produces three regular podcasts: "Beyond the Frontier," featuring interviews with Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment contributors; "The Ecologist Goes to Washington," which will interview scientists involved in ecological policy issues; and "Field Talk," which focuses on authors of articles in Ecology, Ecological Applications, and Ecological Monographs. Episodes of the podcast programs will be posted on this page as they become available, so check back often! Or, click the "Podcast Subscription Instructions" link at the bottom right of this page to find out how to subscribe and receive new podcasts when they become available. Thanks for listening!
Leora Nanus of the USGS Water Resources Division joins us in the June edition of Field Talk. Nanus studied the ability of alpine lakes in the national parks of the Rocky Mountains to buffer against harmful acidic pollution from the air. She and her colleagues found that some surprising lake characteristics, like surrounding slope steepness, lake elevation and bedrock minerals, can be used to predict the resilience of a lake to pollution. Nanus used her data to create a model for national park managers that can help determine which lakes are at highest risk of the negative impacts of pollution.
