    Casey was great. I hope he comes back in the future so we can get more in-depth on a topic or 2. And Huckleberry is always adorable. I also have ataxia, so I have a special place in my heart for him.

    • @revolver265
      @revolver265 5 років тому +3

      Honest question here, what caused your Ataxia, and are there any common effects when or if you're doing something?

    • @jaimie00
      @jaimie00 5 років тому +17

      @@revolver265 I have spinocerebellar ataxia, type 5 (AKA Lincoln's ataxia). Mine is genetic. I bump into things and fall a lot, especially if I'm trying to do 2 things at once (like turn as I'm standing up). I also have tremors, and my muscles will just stop working, especially if I'm carrying something heavy (like a pot of water, which I'll just end up dropping, so I have to be very careful in the kitchen). The symptoms are worse when I'm tired. Some days I feel almost normal, while other days, it's impossible to do something like buttoning a blouse or brushing my teeth. As I get older, the symptoms get worse and I have more and more bad days.
      Huckleberry seems like his is perhaps due to injury, and since he was so young, his brain seems to be rerouting to make up for whatever damage was done. So hopefully he will continue to improve, unlike those of us with autosomal dominant inherited ataxias.

    I liked Casey. He was really interesting to listen to. He also had this air of "I'm about to leap out of a plane and I'm incredibly stoked about it! Let me tell you why!" about him.

    Truly enlightening about hydrology and how his profession doesn’t just affect agriculture and economies, but also the traditional nations and their practices.
    More and more reason to act upon climate change.

    This was great as someone in graduate school for Environmental Engineering for water chemistry (and Earth and Planetary science). It’s really nice to see people who are doing work with water in the field and helps us keep in mind the kind of research we need to do (or consider doing) to help add to the conversation and make our water systems sustainable and healthy. : ) shout out from a Native American person studying in Norway🇳🇴!

    @honrablmsj 5 років тому +4

    This is one of my favorite episodes ever. Casey was clearly enthusiastic and so engaging. I especially appreciated the cultural perspective; how will their stories be told if there is no more snow? Huckleberry was the perfect animal guest, too. I don't think I've ever seen the human and animal guests so relate to each other so much. Please have Casey back; I absolutely want to hear more about his work.

    Didn't realize this was a SciShow TalkShow day, I was like "It's about time for another one" and it turns out my dreams came true today. Casey is definitely engaging, you ought to have him back! And beavers of course play a big role in how water moves.

  • @snifftheory
    @snifftheory 5 років тому +3

    I love that Casey is so passionate about what he does, and he's super engaging to listen to. Science First Responders! The fact that his profession is actually so very important to addressing the issues we're facing as a whole is amazing. Just kind of off-the-wall things you don't always think about. Huckleberry's cute as heck, he reminds me of a supersized version of a guinea pig (specifically because they pretty much just try to eat everything). Loved them both, this episode was awesome. ♥

  • @schrodingerscat20
    @schrodingerscat20 5 років тому +2

    Great show. We used to live near a beaver pound and I'd watch them for hours, so cool. When I was an undergrad one of my best friend's dad was a professor of agriculture engineering . One of his specialties was the study of groundwater. I know not sexy at all right, until you learn that one of his gigs was as a consultant on the ground water movement under the Oakridge TN nuclear facility. I'm pretty sure most people never give groundwater a second thought unless you live in area with a sole source aquifer like I do. However ,the study of groundwater movement is fascinating. Modeling groundwater is incredibly complex requiring sophisticated computer modeling, at times on supercomputers.

  • @brianhester1996

    So, Hank. You had two native American water engineers on the show...? Both with impressive credentials...

  • @cmdr1911
    @cmdr1911 5 років тому +4

    Hydrology and geology are very important for water movement. Working as a consultant for oil and gas operators and pipelines in Ohio and PA, one of my major functions to surface and ground water management. From evaulating watersheds to determine clean up locations if needed, establishing controls for storm water/sediment, maintaining flow rates from developed sites to avoid flooding or overwhelming existing culverts and drainiage. The list goes on and on. Responsible use of water resources and sustainable construction are vital, but people don't understand the complexity of water sheda. Super computers are used to model single watersheds and not always well.

    I really enjoyed Casey’s talk. His demeanor was amazing and he spoke so eloquently, like a true leader in his field. He was so friendly and positive, just an entirely different kind of personality than what most of us are used to. I could tell that he has a very intense energy and confidence, a real love for life. I would be interested in seeing a lot more talks from Casey. Not just on the study & research of water, but also on current events & concerns in his field. I would also love to hear the stories of his ancestors, hear about their way of life, current events in their culture and so on. I feel like we really need a Native American History Month.

  • @mikkosaarinen3225
    @mikkosaarinen3225 5 років тому +1

    This got me thinking about some rather distressing topics.
    I had noticed today that all the three wells on the allotment I'm a part of had dried. Which happened last year as well. And watching this led me thinking if the wells are drying up before the end of summer what's happening to our groundwater overall.
    Turns out the reserves are in large areas the lowest they've been in 50 years. Now I live in Finland and we have a whole lot of fresh water here. So it's always been a thing that I've taken for granted. Furthermore on a global level the north has been considered the area that will stay habitable/arable even if we get quite severe climatechange. But is this really true?
    If even now with our relatively low population and abundant non-habitated/cultivated land our reserves are dropping, what happens when we get an influx of people?
    We'll need more water for those people and more water to cultivate food for those people. But also what does the increased usage of land do to the replenishment of our groundwater reserves? Which again are already not replenishing fast enough to cover our current usage.
    And this is just the human angle. What will be the repercussions to our nature? And what kinds of effects will that have on us?

Are there similar projects that fly under the radar of general knowledge?
