David Bond

Jessica Whiteside, an Associate Professor of Geochemistry, and David Bond, a Professor of Geology, dive into the mysteries of the Late Devonian Extinction, a catastrophic event that wiped out about 70% of species. They discuss how early land plants and their soil formation caused algal blooms, leading to oxygen depletion in oceans. The pair also explore climate dynamics and geological evidence, highlighting the extensive impact on marine and terrestrial life and drawing intriguing parallels to modern climate change.
