As always, host Bob Barrett selects an Academic Minute to air during The Best of Our Knowledge.
Each week this program examines some of the issues unique to college campuses, looks at the latest research, and invites commentary from experts and administrators from all levels of education.
For this week‘s edition (#1299), Bob has selected Stuart Thomson’s segment focusing on the formation of Antarctica. Dr. Thomson’s segment originally aired on 2013.
Stuart Thomson is a research scientist in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Arizona. His research involves the use and development of geochronometers and thermochronometers to determine the time and temperature history of rocks and minerals. His most recent project applied these techniques to determine the age of Antarctica’s subglacial fjords. He holds a Ph.D. from University College London.
