After years of drought and with winter not far off, it seems everyone has an opinion on this year's El Niño — or lack thereof. Host Dave Schlom spoke with Dr. Bill Patzert, an oceanographer for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to get some authoritative answers on whether we'll see an El Niño winter, and what that does (and does not) mean.
Blue Dot, named after Carl Sagan's famous speech about our place in the universe, features interviews with guests from all over the regional, national and worldwide scientific communities. Host Dave Schlom leads discussions about the issues science is helping us address with experts who shed light on climate change, space exploration, astronomy, technology and much more. Dave asks us to remember: from deep space, we all live on a pale, blue dot. Blue Dot is engineered, co-produced and co-hosted by Matt Shilts. It airs Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. and Fridays at 6:30 p.m.
