The main topic of episode 2 is on sea level and deviations from sea level. For a full list of references, see the post on my website:

-----
Epsiode 2 - Intro
-----

I discuss about my activities from June to late July, including my stay at the Kikai Institute for Coral Reef Sciences, and the University at Buffalo. I then discuss about the global temperature record that was achieved in July 2024. I give an overview of a study on the climate impacts of the Hunga Tonga eruption from 2022, and a study that puts the 2023 temperatures in context with the past 2000 years. Finally, I discuss about the wildfires that affected the Canadian town of Jasper in July 2024, and discus my trip to that area back in 2009.

----
Epsiode 2 - Main Topic
----

I discuss about "what is sea level", and some deviations from this constant surface. This includes tides, storm surges, tsunamis, ocean current shifts, and temperature/salinity changes.

----
Epsiode 2 - More Main Topic
----

In this further discussion, I talk about my experience teaching about sea level change at the Kikai Institute for Coral Reef Sciences, a new book on sea level, how we measure sea level, and tsunamis.

----
Epsiode 2 - Papers
----

In this episode, I discuss a paper about Holocene sea level fluctuations due to changes in the ENSO cycle in southern China, and a paper about a major tsunami that happened in eastern Greenland in September 2023.

This is episode 1 of the Raised Beaches Podcast. This is the culmination of many months of planning to produce a podcast to discuss topics related to paleoclimate, Earth science and global change. In this episode, I introduce myself and discuss the highlights of the 2024 Japan Geoscience Union conference. The deep dive explains what "raised beaches" are. Finally I highlight a recent paper discussing a climate proxy record from the Marine Isotope Stage 11c interglacial.

-- Episode 1 Deep Dive: Raised Beaches --

I introduce what raised beaches are, and how they form. I then recount a conflict in the early era of geology with regards to raised beaches. Finally, I discuss my own experience investigating raised beaches and beach ridges in Argentina.
