Podcasts about geologists

Small errors in sampling can lead to big consequences in mining. In this second episode of our three-part series on sampling, Mark Murphy (Manager Geological Services, IGO) and Ian Glacken (Executive Consultant, Snowden Optiro) explore the different types of sampling errors - and how to recognise, minimise, and prevent them.  From unavoidable “correct” errors to preventable “incorrect” errors, they share real-world insights into why understanding sampling is critical for both technical teams and decision-makers.  Whether you're a geologist, mining engineer, or manager, this episode will make you rethink how you approach sampling in your operations. ⏱ Timestamps: 0:08 – Introducing the types of sampling errors 1:11 – What is fundamental sampling error? 3:33 – Grouping and segregation error explained 7:29 – Why most errors happen early in the sampling process 8:38 – Understanding “incorrect” errors and how to avoid them 12:29 – The role of clear procedures and duplicate sampling 14:50 – Why spatial understanding of duplicates matters 15:56 – Replicates vs duplicates: getting the terminology right If you would like to contact Ian or Mark: contact@snowdenoptiro.com Explore more: https://snowdenoptiro.com/

Brian Weitz, better known as Geologist from Animal Collective, is, like the other members of that band, a voracious listener of music from a huge span of eras, cultures, and geographical locations. As can be heard in both his contributions to that band as well as his solo work, it’s all left a mark, particularly in his live performances on hurdy-gurdy, which has roots in music from multiple cultures and points in history. A Philadelphia native who also has Baltimore roots, Weitz currently resides in Washington, DC, and his newest release with Doug Shaw, A Shaw Deal, is out now on Drag City. On this episode, hear how songs by Sundowners, Fennesz, and Keiji Haino influenced him as an artist.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h_ckjhGdjs From  Feb 2, 2019. Geologists think they've found the oldest Earth rock ever seen. And they found it in one of the last places you'd ever suspect, on the Moon. When the Apollo 14 astronauts returned their lunar samples back to Earth, they were carrying one rock that had formed on Earth 4 to 4.1 billion years ago, which was carved out of our planet during the time of intense bombardment and delivered to the Moon.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Mike Burke, Director and VP of Corporate Development at Sitka Gold (TSX.V:SIG - OTCQB:SITKF - FRE:1RF), joins me for an update on the company's latest drill results from the RC Gold Project in the Yukon. We discuss the most recent assays from the Rhosgobel discovery, which continues to deliver standout results. Key highlights from the update: Latest results: 162m of 1.02 g/t Au from surface, including 71m of 1.57 g/t Au. All 8 holes drilled to date exceed 100 gram-meters, with one exceeding 200. Strong continuity over ~300m strike length and mineralization observed down to 400m depth. Current program expanded from 10,000m to ~12,000m of drilling, with two rigs turning and ~41 holes completed so far. Geologists report visible gold in 31 of the first 34 holes logged. Potential resource estimate considered for early 2026, with comparisons drawn to major deposits in the Tombstone Gold Belt (Fort Knox, Valley, Eagle). Growing footprint of the Rhosgobel discovery suggests potential to host a multi-million-ounce deposit.

Our relationship with the natural world can be both emotional and spiritual , as well as one of just physical science. But by blending those, we can create an even deeper understanding and respect for the processes and history of our planet. Here to talk to us more about this connection, and her new book "The Whispers of Rock" is Earth Scientist, Presenter and Author, Anjana Khatwa.Dr Anjana Khatwa (She/Her/Hers) is an award-winning earth scientist who has worked for several universities, the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and the National Trust.

In the ancient mountains of Western North Carolina, where emeralds hide in weathered stone and mist cloaks valleys older than memory, something watches from the shadows. This episode explores the legend of the Boojum, a massive, hair-covered recluse that has haunted these hills since before the Cherokee walked the ridges.Part Bigfoot, part treasure guardian, and wholly mysterious, the Boojum collects gems with the eye of a connoisseur and the strength to tear trees from the ground.Our story begins with a shaken geologist stumbling into a Burnsville diner with an impossible tale, then reaches back through centuries of encounters.From Cherokee oral traditions that speak of Nun'Yunu'Wi's cousin who left garnets at the doors of newborns, to Civil War soldiers fleeing in terror from a creature that seemed to forbid violence in its domain, to modern-day scientists discovering inexplicable forest gardens tended by an unknown hand, we trace the evolution of a legend that refuses to fade.Drawing from historical accounts, family journals, and the testimony of a secret network of protectors known as the Keepers, we explore  what happens when ancient mystery collides with the modern world of GPS tracking and thermal drones.In an age where every square foot of earth can be photographed from space, the Boojum reminds us that some things are more valuable when they remain hidden, and that wonder itself might be worth protecting.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our Sponsors

Many volcanoes are among the most majestic sights on the planet: Tall and wide, they belch molten rock or plumes of ash that can tower miles high. But there's another class of volcano that's much less impressive. These guys are short and squatty. And they burp out bubbles and blobs of mud, water, and gas. What they lack in majesty, though, they make up for in numbers: more than a thousand have been discovered on land, and many others have been found at the bottom of the ocean.One of the most recently discovered marine examples is the Borealis Mud Volcano. It's a quarter of a mile deep in the Barents Sea, an extension of the North Atlantic Ocean, between Finland and Greenland. It's a little more than 20 feet wide and about eight feet high. It's in a large field of craters and small cones. Like Borealis itself, many of the cones put out plumes of methane gas.Geologists discovered Borealis during a 2023 research cruise. They studied it in more detail a year later. They suggest that it formed about 18,000 years ago, at the end of the last ice age.During the ice age, what is now the ocean floor was covered by a giant slab of ice. As the ice melted and retreated, the pressure went down and the temperature went up. That allowed a big pocket of methane ice to begin vaporizing. The pressure blew a hole in the sediments above it. Today, the Borealis Mud Volcano continues to belch out methane, mud, and water from below the Barents Sea.

My guest today is a woman who listens to stone the way others listen to music, hearing the layered rhythms, ancient memory, and hidden messages beneath our feet.Dr. Marcia Bjornerud is a structural geologist, writer, and professor at Lawrence University whose work explores the physics of earthquakes, the architecture of mountains, and the deep time story of our living planet. She is the author of several beloved books for popular audiences, including Reading the Rocks, Timefulness, Geopedia, and most recently, Turning to Stone: Discovering the Subtle Wisdom of Rocks, which won the 2025 John Burroughs Medal for Natural History Writing.In today's conversation, we explore Earth as an animate, dynamic system, one that has been reinventing itself for over 4 billion years, leaving records of her great experiments in stone. We dive into Marcia's life's work of decoding that record and into her belief that rocks are not inert, they are narrators of Earth's evolving story. Marcia invites us to understand the language of stone, to foster a “geo-centric” worldview that reconnects us with the rhythms and relationships of this planet, and to step into a deeper kinship with the Earth as home.We also speak about her travels to remote parts of the world, such as Svalbard, Norway, her reflections on the Anthropocene, how thinking like a geologist can help save the world, and what she may have learned from Indigenous wisdom traditions in her dialogue with land and rock.This is a conversation about time, transformation, and the quiet, enduring truths that live in stone.Episode Highlights:02:30 – Dr. Bjornerud's early fascination with rocks from glacial deposits in Wisconsin.04:00 – Structuring her latest book Turning to Stone around autobiographical chapters, each linked to a specific rock.06:00 – Defining the term "timefulness" and how seeing in geologic time alters our perception of the present.07:30 – Rocks as palimpsests: ancient stories overwritten but still traceable.08:45 – Rocks as verbs, not nouns: dynamic participants in Earth's ongoing transformation.10:30 – Witnessing the radical evolution of geoscience: from fixed continents to dynamic tectonics and complex climate models.13:00 – Paradigm shifts: from denying catastrophes to accepting extinction events like the one that ended the dinosaurs.16:00 – Ice age floods and possible global correlations to catastrophic water events.18:00 – Reflections on flat-earthers, epistemology, and failures in science education.20:30 – Dr. Bjornerud's spiritual and emotional connection with rocks and their silent companionship.22:30 – Working in rapidly changing Arctic landscapes and observing real-time geology in motion.24:00 – The language of stone: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks as dialects.26:00 – What would change if Western culture viewed the Earth as animate rather than mechanical?29:00 – Critiquing techno-optimism and misplaced hubris in dreams of colonizing Mars.32:00 – Hidden infrastructures of rock: aquifers, basalt weathering, and climate regulation.35:00 – Collaborating with Indigenous scientists and tribal legal teams to protect ecosystems.38:00 – Thinking like a geologist: embracing humility, interconnectedness, and a long-term perspective.40:00 – Letting go of narcissism and rediscovering our place in Earth's continuum.42:00 – Why colonizing Mars is scientifically implausible and ethically evasive.45:00 – Message for the seventh generation: the Earth abides—if we listen.47:00 – Closing reflection: stone as story, Earth as ancestor, and ourselves as part of a resilient and sacred cycle of becoming.Resources mentioned:Books by Dr. Marcia BjornerudTurning to Stone – https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781324093494Timefulness: How...

One of the biggest earthquakes in modern history has been picked up in North Clare. A magnitude 8.8 event struck the Kamchatka peninsula on Russia's Pacific coast last night, prompting evacuation orders in a nearby port town as well as in Japan where two million were advised to vacate to higher ground. The quake, which is the largest since 2004's magnitude 9.1 event near Indonesia's Sumatra Island which prompted a tsunami that killed roughly 220,000 people, was captured by the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark's seismometer in Ennistymon. Geologist with the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark, Dr Eamon Doyle says while it's early days, it doesn't seem to have caused serious damage so far.

We go deep on perhaps the most controversial Animal Collective album, Danse Manatee. A product of the band's burgeoning live act, Danse was made by the same trio that created Merriweather Post Pavilion and Painting With. Beloved by some, reviled by others, this record set the tone for the group's modus operandi going forward, one characterized by experimentation, collaboration, and the relentless desire to create.Also discussed: Geologist's newly announced solo album, the end of Pitchfork Fest, and of course, Bonefish Rec's.Where does Danse rank for you? What's your favorite track?

The Pilbara region of Western Australia is big, dry, and wide open. And it may contain the oldest cosmic “scar” on Earth: an impact crater gouged three and a half billion years ago. Scientists discovered evidence of the crater during a brief expedition in 2021. They found some rock formations called shatter cones. Some of the cones are as tall as a house. The only known way to make them is in giant collisions with space rocks. Follow-up work last year revealed many more of these formations. The cones were found in a rock layer that’s miles wide, but only a few dozen feet thick. The layer also contains tiny “beads” that formed when molten rock was blasted high into the sky. The flight through the air sculpted droplets of the molten rock into balls. Geologists found that the layer formed three and a half billion years ago, so that’s when the impact must have taken place – more than a billion years earlier than the previous record holder. The asteroid could have been miles wide, and blasted a crater more than 60 miles across. The effects of the collision would have been felt around the world. In fact, researchers say the impact could have helped shape the world. Major asteroid impacts could have traveled deep, churning things up far below the surface. That could have created the “seeds” that gave birth to the continents when Earth was young. We’ll talk about potential future impacts tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield
