February 14th is most commonly known as Valentine's Day, but this day is also special for another reason, because on February 14, 1912, Arizona became the 48th state! 

For this special episode of Earth + Humans, we talk to three students in our PhD of geography program to ask them about their favorite places to visit in Arizona, how they handle our extreme heat, and their interesting research topics.

Join us as we celebrate our love for the state of Arizona.

Arizona Love

"It's complicated" - the relationship status that hits you in the pit of your stomach. But, it's also the best way to describe the relationship we, the human race, are in with our planet. When it comes to the Earth and the humans who call it home, we have a lot of work to do to repair this fragile relationship. The Earth + Humans podcast aims to highlight some of the people who are researching these issues and their work to find solutions to some of our world's biggest problems. 

Earth + Humans is produced by the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona State University.
