Rocks and Rules, Putting Things in Order (Re-Release #1)

In this episode of Planet Geo, we share some exciting updates as Chris steps back a bit. Don’t worry; Chris will still join us regularly, but you'll also be hearing more often from fantastic guests like Dr. Rachel Phillips, Dr. Mike Ackerson, and Dr. Josh Davies. We’re diving deep into the geoscience topics we all love and bringing you insightful interviews with geoscience leaders. We’re also eager to hear your feedback, so please reach out on our social media or website with your thoughts on the show's future direction. 

Before we usher in the new year, we're revisiting some classic episodes, including “Rocks and Rules: Putting Things into Order,” where we lay out the foundational principles of geology. From superposition to cross-cutting relations and inclusions, we tackle the basic yet essential concepts that make geology so fascinating. Imagine sorting a giant puzzle—except it's with rocks! Whether you're in the field, driving past road cuts, or just curious about those layered rocks on your hike, these principles bring a newfound appreciation for the Earth’s history. We also highlight the invaluable role of index fossils in correlating rock sequences across vast distances, even globally. So, if you're a puzzle enthusiast or a geology newbie looking to deepen your understanding, this episode is for you. Join us as we simplify these scientific principles and show you how they fit into the grand story of our planet's past. And don’t forget—your input is vital as we look to make Planet Geo awesome not just for today, but for years to come!
