Raised Beaches Podcast
The Raised Beaches Podcast is a discussion on topics related to paleoclimate, Earth Science and global change. Dr. Evan J. Gowan highlights the concepts and underlying evidence on how climate, sea level and the Earth surface changes through time. He also connects how our knowledge of the past informs our predictions of future climate.

Episode 1: What are Raised Beaches?
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.
