Ashley Bosa

Ashley is a PhD student in the Geosciences Department at Boise State University. She is a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow (NSF GRFP), and is involved with STEM Outreach through the department. Her primary research focuses on using geophysical and remote sensing tools to track and detect volcanic mudflows on the flanks of Volcán de Fuego in Guatemala.

Bryan Rosenblatt

Bryan is a Masters student in the Geosciences Department at Boise State University. His primary interests is acoustics, with his research focused on volcano acoustics. When Bryan isnt focused on volcanos, he's typically performing or practicing with various music ensembles inside and outside of Boise State.

Scott Gauvain

Scott is a Masters student in the Geosciences Department at Boise State University. His research is focused on river sounds and how they may be used for remote streamflow monitoring. He believes the general public should be more informed about Earth processes, and wants to share his passion for geoscience with anyone who's willing to listen.

Welcome to the EpicEarth Podcast website! This podcast is a product of Boise State University students as part of STEM Outreach through the Geoscience Department.

The concept of the podcast was developed by Ashley Bosa, Bryan Rosenblatt, and Scott Gauvain - all BSU graduate students who want other people to know how AWESOME geoscience careers are and want to highlight some of the Epic Earth events taking place right now! The episodes of this podcast focus on students - both graduate and undergraduate - and their research. We also interview professionals inside and outside of the Geosciences whose primary purpose is to advance STEM fields. STEM students and faculty spend a lot of time promoting their research at conferences and other formal settings, so we wanted to create an informal platform for people to talk about the incredible things they are working on and express and share our excitement over current Earth events and research.

So, join us as we travel all over the world. Explore nature from the comfort of your chair. Dive into the world of glaciologists, hydrologists, biologists, paleontologists, physicists, seismologists, and a whole other host of scientists. Take a journey with us around this Epic Earth.

We'd like to thank Amanda Kuhlman for designing our EpicEarth logo and Adrian Frye for composing and the Tree City Brass Quintet for recording their epic version of our theme music for our episodes.

We'd also like to thank all of our listeners for your curiosity and wonder - without which this podcast may not exist. This is dedicated to all of the scientists out there, who strive to understand the beauty of the Universe in which we live; and to the inquisitive minds who work tirelessly in the field, at their computers, lecturing in classrooms, and experimenting in labs.
