E236 Geologist and NASA/JPL Scientist human, Dr. Fred Calef, is the geospatial information scientist for the Mars Curiosity Rover and maps the terrain of the red planet. We discuss his work, the transpermia theory, rocks, microbes, Rovers, humans living off-Earth and what I’d look like if I’d been born on Mars. For more information and […]

Dr. Fred Calef: Mapping the Red Planet

In this episode, we continue our conversation with Dr. Fred Calef about the incredible discoveries we have made on Mars. Dr. Calef discusses how scientists apply geologic concepts from Earth to other worlds, and he also talks about how scientists handle conspiracy theorists. In addition, we also break down the final 3 songs in our "Geology Folk Song Medley" from our album The Fossil Record.

A Geologist On Mars (Part 2) With Fred Calef

Dr. Fred Calef of JPL talks to us about his work mapping the surface of Mars. He tells us about the non-linear path his life took that led him to the work he currently does, as well as the challenges of applying Earth-bound geologic concepts to other planets in our solar system, most significantly the red planet. This episode is part one of a two part episode with Dr. Calef. We also break down our song "Geology Folk Song Medley" from out new album "The Fossil Record." If you're an earth scientist looking for that perfect campfire singalong, this is the song for you!

Without GPS, keeping track of our Martian explorers is no easy task. Data management for the thousands of photos, especially their locations, is in fact a full time job. Fred Calef, JPL’s “Keeper of the Maps” joins Jake to talk all about how we build a base map for Curiosity to help scientists get the right context for their geologic studies.
