“Trees cause more pollution than automobiles do\u201d – Ronald Reagan<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In episode 12 of Core Ideas<\/strong>, we continue Into the Weeds<\/em><\/a> of paleolimnology by exploring its entrance into public consciousness. We discuss how popular media covered major environmental topics including eutrophication, acidification, climate change, as well as emerging stressors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, the widespread shutdown due to the current global pandemic<\/a> has limited our ability to do episode research (e.g. accessing library microfilm records), so our rambling conversation largely relies on hearsay and half-remembered stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The general concept of environmental archives is much older than paleolimnology itself, with Leonardo da Vinci<\/a> believed to have been the first to recognise the link between environmental conditions and tree-ring<\/a> thickness in the 1400s. However, the collection of ice cores<\/a> in the 1950s, would have provided a broader introduction to the ecological records at roughly the same time that radiocarbon dating<\/a> was gaining fame. As environmental concerns including eutrophication<\/a>, river fires<\/a>, climate change<\/a>, acid deposition<\/a> emerged, the publication of Silent Spring<\/a> in 1962 was a seminal event for launching the environmental movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given its importance to the acid rain debates, Hollywood’s continued neglect of paleolimnology is shocking! The closest portrayal we can think of is the paleoclimatologist in the Day After Tomorrow<\/a>. However, we remain hopeful that one day a big budget movie will accurately portray a cool paleolimnologist defending the planet against an imminent crisis related to road salt<\/a>, algal blooms<\/a>, and microplastics<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, the small screen may have contributed most to public awareness of paleolimnology, with the Journal of Paleolimnology<\/a> languishing on The Colbert Report\u2019s<\/a> \u201cOn Notice\u201d board with assorted other enemies of freedom<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wrap up the episode reflecting on personal experiences when popular media has noticed our own work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
