When Eckhardt Karsten ‘24 first took the initiative to email a professor for a simple recommendation, he never imagined the life changing paths it would ultimately open. Today Eckhardt is embarking on an ecological research project as part of the U.S. Antarctic Program and he’s a member of the Honors College Student Advisory Board on campus. On this episode, he also talks about overcoming the fear of reaching for new opportunities and how building confidence is key for college success.

Volcanoes.

We can all picture them. But how much do we actually know about them? What are they? Why do they erupt?

And, is the common perception of them – huge volcanic craters atop mountains, spewing magma – accurate?

To help us answer these questions and more we speak to PhD student Marissa Lo (@MarissaLoBot). Marissa, host of the brilliant Earth and planetary science podcast The Cosmic Cast, is currently finishing her PhD studies in lunar volcanism.

We cover hot topics such as predicting eruptions, environmental impact and how volcanoes can actually benefit us. Plus, of course, Marissa’s key interest area: volcanoes on the moon!

So get fired up for an explosive episode of The Buzz podcast!
