A conversation about what trees and the deep ocean can teach us about endurance, adaptation, and the limits of human scale. In their books In Trees and The Dark Frontier, Robert Moor and Jeffrey Marlow enter worlds where life unfolds according to rhythms radically different from our own — rooted, submerged, ancient, and largely invisible to the tempo of modern life. From forests that record time in rings and branching forms to seafloor organisms that survive by slowing almost to a standstill, their books ask what happens when we encounter forms of life that force us to rethink time itself.

Robert Moor is an award-winning writer and New York Times-bestselling author. Jeffrey Marlow is an Assistant Professor of Biology at Boston University, where his lab studies the links between microbes and their surroundings in a range of extreme environments, from active volcanoes to the deep sea.
