Episode 14 is the Geobloggers in the Pub: San Francisco edition. We talk in a slightly intoxicated way about what makes a geologist, human exploration of the planets, the importance of primary research and more.

Episode “unlucky” number 13. We have a talk about nuclear waste, MIS:TIQUE (helping physically challenged geology students), the Gigapan project and a few others things.

It’s the Geobloggers in the Pub episode of the podClast. We talk about the KT boundary, including new research relating to it – and how difficult mass extinctions are to study. Plus we lay into creationism in a pub-style chat fest.

Episode 11 of the podClast discusses the L’Aquila earthquake in Italy and the associated earthquake predicition, more on Mt Redoubt in Alaska, geology in the movies and more.

A new rock discovery in the United Kingdom may turn the science of petrology on its head. Scientists are baffled, experts befuddled and the public bewildered. Despite and because of this hysteria, I hereby present the first petrographic description of chocolite.

It’s a new episode of the podClast! In episode 7 we discuss really old sponge biomarkers in rocks from Oman, Palaeomagnatism, geology on Google Earth and more. This is the first episode in 7 months and it’s the longest podClast ever, so put down you rock hammer, lift a glass of something cold and listen to the banter of the geoblogosphere.

Crematoria: A fictional planet depicted in the movie Chronicles of Riddick. So extreme are the conditions on the surface that they not only defy belief, but the laws of physics. But what about the geology? My submission to the Accretionary Wedge #7.
