About this listen
Professor Kris Karnauskas researches atmospheric science and physical oceanography at the University of Colorado Boulder.
In this episode, we talk about the Galapagos Islands, which were made famous by Charles Darwin’s expedition on the HMS Beagle in 1835, aiding the development of the theory of evolution by natural selection.
We discuss why the serendipitous location of the Galapagos Islands, in relation to ocean currents, has led to its incredibly diverse wildlife. Not only this, but this small archipelago is crucial in dictating the global climate.
