Blue Dot 32: Keep Tahoe Blue

ironman.com
Lake Tahoe

KTB. If you live in Northern California, you’ve likely seen that bumper sticker with the iconic outline of the lake we share with the Nevada border. Keep Tahoe Blue is the message, and it's a worthy goal. The lake’s pristine waters are getting less clear by the year. We look at the science behind the clarity and more – it’s Lake Tahoe – and it’s definitely all new and all blue on Blue Dot!

Dave Schlom is the longtime host and creator of Blue Dot. From surfing to Voyager in interstellar space, rock guitar to orcas in our imperiled oceans, the topics on Blue Dot are as varied as the host’s interests and connections -- which are pretty limitless! An internationally respected space history journalist, Dave is also deeply fascinated by all aspects of the grand workings of nature’s awesome machinery on scales ranging from galactic to subatomic. And topics take in all aspects of the arts and sciences.
