Episode 49 - Current Events 6/23/20

Here’s a bonus episode for this week because we were late getting our regularly scheduled episode out. We cover current events in geology like the 7.5 magnitude earthquake this week in Mexico, a giant dust storm moving across the Atlantic Ocean, microbes that may live in impact craters, and a mega-blob under New Zealand.
