PlanetGeo: The Geology Podcast

• Geology's Ologies

  In this episode, Chris and Jesse delve into the various 'ologies' within geology, sparked by a listener question regarding the differences between geology and geography. The discussion explores the evolution and rebranding of geology departments, their experiences with different specializations, and the significance of courses like mineralogy and petrology. They share insights into their favorite fields and ones they have recently grown to appreciate. Adding some humor, Chris calls his mother Joyce to get her take on her favorite 'ology.' The episode emphasizes the importance of a broad and diverse geosciences education to adapt to evolving scientific landscapes.Download the CampGeo app now at this link.

• Earth's Oldest Sediments - The Isua Supracrustal Belt

  Hold onto your rock hammers, folks! 📉🌎 In this episode, we're peeling back the layers (pun intended) of the Isua Greenstone Belt in Southwest Greenland. Tune in as we dive into debates about changing the name of geology classes, virtual Fight Clubs, and the complexities of Earth's ancient rocks. Could sediments, pillow basalts, and potential signs of life from 3.8 billion years ago hold the keys to planet Earth's past? We’ll examine graphite layers and supposed stromatolites (yes, those algal wonders), and their controversies. Geology jargon and some decent rock puns included!
