Is Geology Getting Worse?
PlanetGeo: The Geology Podcast
10/10/24 • 36 min
In this episode of "Planet Geo," we delve into whether geological events such as earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, and extreme weather are becoming more common or severe. Through a lively and humorous discussion, including a guest appearance from Joyce!, we explore the statistical analysis of earthquakes over the past 35 years, concluding that large earthquakes are not increasing in frequency or severity. We also discuss the possible impacts of climate change on landslides and extreme weather events, the role of improved technology and social media in expanding awareness of these events, and touch on the intersection of geoscience with other fields like biology and planetary science. The episode is packed with insightful data analysis, relatable anecdotes, and a touch of personal banter.

Our Past Favorites #3 - The Age of the Earth or, How to Build a Planet
PlanetGeo: The Geology Podcast
12/12/24 • 33 min
In this episode of Planet Geo, we dive deep into the fascinating topic of the age of the Earth and how planets form. We talk about why the age of the Earth is estimated to be around 4.55 billion years and the scientific methods behind determining this age, dating back to the 1955 discovery by Claire Patterson. We discuss the processes involved in planet formation from the solar nebula, the role of uranium and lead isotopes in dating rocks and minerals, the impact of planetary events such as the formation of the moon, and why Earth's active geological processes make it difficult to have original rocks from its formation. We also compare the precision of dating meteorites with dating Earth and explore concepts like the nebular theory, melting events, and planetary isochrons. By the end of the episode, we hope to provide a clear understanding of the complexities and fascinating science behind how our planet, and planets in general, come to be and how we determine their ages.

Earth's Oldest Sediments - The Isua Supracrustal Belt
PlanetGeo: The Geology Podcast
01/30/25 • 42 min
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! Don't just be a sedimentary listener—subscribe, like, and join us on this tectonic adventure. 🌋🔬

Home Away From Home - The Grand Tetons
PlanetGeo: The Geology Podcast
07/04/24 • 33 min
In this episode of Planet Geo, Chris Bolhuis and Dr. Jesse Reimink dive deep into the geology of the Grand Teton National Park. They cover the park's ancient rock formations, from the Archean gneiss to the granites formed around 2.5 billion years ago. The discussion also explores significant geological events like the Severe and Laramide orogenies, the impact of the Yellowstone Hotspot Track, and the glacial activity that sculpted the dramatic landscapes of the Tetons.
