Episode 119 - "When Nerds Have Research Instruments" Fulgurite
Manage episode 178980748 series 124267
John is installing his weather station and Shannon is still pushing through finals week. On this week’s show we talk about a listener question regarding fulgurites. Can you petrify lightning and study it? Thanks to listener Steve for the show topic and fun paper suggestion!
Fulgarites- Fulgurite (Wikipedia)
- Lechatelierite
- Planar deformation features
- Lightning induced remanent magnetizations
- Verrier, V., and P. Rochette. “Estimating peak currents at ground lightning impacts using remanent magnetization.” Geophysical Research Letters 29.18 (2002).
- This week we scratch the fun paper itch - literally. Can scratching in a mirror trick your brain?
