Description

In our second episode with Dr Andrew Merdith, we ask why the rise of land plants pushes the pendulum swing of Earth’s climate (who knew moss was so cool? Or that if you're a plant, you can actually have too much of a good thing, *cough cough atmospheric combustion??!!!?* ). During these fascinating Phanerozoic moments in Earth evolution, Dr Merdith also shows us what the ancient landmasses were doing .... and to voyage there, we must introduce you to Gondwana.
