I am a climate scientist and geologist and think that climate, geology, and geography are incredibly interesting fields that people deserve to know more about. If you have any questions that you’ve sat with for a while, are just curious, want to know more about future or past scenarios, or even have worldbuilding questions, feel free to ask!
Wowww I had no idea about windblown loess providing nucleation sites for precipitation. That is extremely cool!
Because the world seemed so different in the past, it’s very easy to forget that the planet has almost always been subjected to the same processes we can observe in the modern day!
Think modern day examples– like windblown dust from the Sahara traveling with the winds of the intertropical convergence zone to end up as a primary nucleation point and fertilizer for the Central and South American Rainforests!
