We have enjoyed incredible sunsets in Central Oregon during our recent summer storms. Along with sunsets comes Petrichor: the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil. The term was coined in 1964 by two Australian researchers, Isabel Joy Bear and Richard G. Thomas, for an article in the journal Nature. In the article, the authors describe how the smell derives from an oil exuded by certain plants during dry periods.
