National Geographic Weekend, a weekly radio show, features “interviews with some of the most fascinating people on the planet” and WVU’s Dr. Amy Hessl, Associate Professor and Associate Chair of the Geography program, is one of them.

Speaking to host, Boyd Matson, about her experiences while in Mongolia, Hessl shared her excitement of finding sub fossil wood dating back to 658 C.E. (Common Era) and tasting mare’s milk. As a National Geographic grantee, her profile is available online at http://www.nationalgeographic.com/explorers/bios/amy-hessl/.
