Wonder

Now, our last polar explorer and geologist Dr Jack Mulder whisks us through the hidden lands beneath all that ice. What supercontinent secrets are revealed by the rocks down there? And why does the Denman Glacier sit atop the scars of ancient mountain ranges? Jack walks us through these mysterious worlds and more in our fascinating Antarctic finale. [ Wonder podcast takes on the big, beautiful, ic...

We interrupt the Antarctic content with a debrief and check in! We've now chatted with Dr Halpin and Dr Selway on their summertime Antarctic field expedition ... but Holly and Anthony need a minute to debrief on this polar science frenzy! Make a cup of tea - we've settled into a quick and casual catch up (work from home, anyone?) to touch base on the last two episodes! Next up on the pod t...

Here we chat with geophysicist Dr Kate Selway on how seeing beneath Antarctica's ice simply requires some cosmic 'listening', plus, what on earth is a blizz line?!?! Go on, have a listen to two geologists soaking in the wisdom of an expert geophysicist and feel a sense of magic about the electric-current-curiosities of the rocks beneath the Denman Glacier. [ Wonder podcast takes on the...

Wonder podcast takes on the big, beautiful, icy continent at the bottom of the Earth ... it's time to talk everything Antarctica! When three adventurous Australians returned from their summer expedition to Antarctica, we knew we had to get them on the pod. Geoscientist Dr Jacqueline Halpin kicks us off with the stories and science behind her field season working on one of Antarctica's fast...

In 2023's final episode of Wonder, Holly & Anthony take time to reflect on the busy year that's been and the feelings that drive our Geo Co passion. We meander through perspectives on our 'human moment', the apparent paradoxes of our earth-reliant material world, and how conversations about earth stewardship can foster connected futures for all. *a caution about Holly's rec...

How are wacky elements in ancient oceans linked to the explosion of complex life? What do these ocean chemistries reveal about hidden seafloor ore? Why are we all science fighting about the 'Boring Billion'? Geo Co. is thrilled to welcome the fabulous Dr Indrani Murkerjee , lecturer at UNSW, to Wonder! find us on Instagram ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠@thegeoco⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (and for the geo's who have made their way...

Journey into the centre of the earth, anyone!? Geoscientists Holly Cooke & Dr Anthony Reid wonder what the earth looks like deep beneath our feet ... right down into the liquid inner core. How hot does it get? How far is it from our feet on the surface? How do scientists know the inner structure of the earth? And what deep secrets do earthquakes reveal? find us on Instagram ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@thegeoco⁠⁠⁠⁠...

Welcome to the world of mine waste with the Mine Waste Transformation through Characterisation (MIWATCH) research group from the W.H Bryan Mining Geology Research Centre, Sustainable Minerals Institute, University of Queensland. This is a must-listen for anyone in the geosciences, minerals and resources industry who has ever wondered where our beloved mineralised rocks wind up 'in perpetuity' ......

Welcome to Wonder with geologist, palaeontologist, short-film director and all-round geo-legend Dr Marissa Betts! Come along on our journey of small shelly fossils to Jurassic Park and science fights about Cambrian geology. By exploring big themes like empowering cultural connection to landscape and balancing both scientific and spiritual narratives, we crack open a chat about power of different w...

This episode sees Holly & Anthony on an epic voyage through deep time. Join us in our time-travels as we grasp the vast depths of earth history and explore how humanity perceives time in the present. We muse on how rocks encode both eons and mere moments from ancient asteroids to Burrungkuy rock art. Join us on our final (for now!) journey through earth's most fundamental story - that of t...

Episode three of Wonder brings you an ensemble of vibrant stories about life on Earth. From its ancient origins to the landscapes that moulded Darwin's ideas of evolution, Holly and Anthony traverse three billion years of earth history in twenty six minutes to connect you to the mysteries of past, present and future life. We love understanding nature. Time to share that wonder with you. find u...

In our second episode of Wonder, Holly and Anthony dive into the waters of the world. We meander through the quiet transformation of coastlines to how rivers are creators and destroyers of land. Embarking on a journey from molecules to mountains, we tell the stories of earth's waters and the human connection behind it all. We love understanding nature. Time to share that wonder with you. find...

In our debut episode, Holly and Anthony open Volume 1 of Wonder with a big picture conversation about the majesty of mountains, the sweeping forces of water, and marvel at the history of life encoded in stone. And then, after a brief voyage into deep time, the two earth scientists commit to storytelling earth's most brilliant curiosities in the most energetic and fun way we know how. We love u...
