Here is a recent story from CBS Sunday morning talking about the new film San Andreas. The Sunday Morning team interview USGS seismologist Lucy Jones about what is and what isn't real. Very similar to my Geological Movie Reviews I had worked on.

CBS Sunday Morning - Professional Paleontologists are Starting Early

So here was a nice story on CBS Sunday Morning this past Sunday about a kid who wanted to be a professional paleontologist so bad that he applied for the position of curator at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science when Kirk Johnson left. The position was stolen from the poor kid by Scott Sampson but there was a happy ending in it all.

CBS Sunday Morning - Hunting for Meteorites

A nice piece was played this morning on CBS Sunday Morning discussing the Russian Meteor of yesterday and linking it to the meteorite hunting that goes on in Antarctica. They mention that the meteorite hunting was little known, but I thought it was common knowledge. I guess that is part of the problem of being so in to geology that I don't realize what other people don't know.

 

Or go here if the video doesn't seem to be working:

(but it does take a minute or 2 to load).

CBS Sunday Morning on Fracking

A contentious topic in geology is "Fracking". Here is CBS Sunday Morning (a stalwart of my Sunday Mornings) talking about the topic. Hopefully this explains a little bit to those who like to know more about it beside the politics.

 

 

And for those without the ability to watch the video (it doesn't seem to be working on Apple stuff) here is a link: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50137954n
