Wonder

From the soaring peaks of Mount Everest to the deepest dwellings of the Mariana Trench - why does Earth look the way it does? How does our planet create such incredible diversity of landscape? Really .... how does the earth work? Dr Sandra McLaren walked us through Earths thermal engine in our previous episode, and now it's time to untangle plate tectonics and how it built (and continues to build!!!!) the planet we know today.

[ Wonder podcast takes on the everchanging Earth. In this miniseries we pull apart the mysteries of tectonics, piece together ancient supercontinents, and visit the far space and time corners of our unique planet. ]

Change is the only permanent thing about Earth. Our landscapes are transient, from mountains to oceans to rivers to plains. But have you ever wondered what makes our earth so *dynamic* compared to our solar systems other rocky planets? We have a world of these questions for Dr Sandra McLaren ... for starters, why should mountains and ocean basins exist at all? And at the heart of it, why does heat make the world go round?

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.

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 to talk all things Antarctica is geology legend Dr Jack Mulder! And we will have to get our rock science hats ready for that one....

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.

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 fastest retreating glaciers during the Denman Terrestrial Campaign with the Australian Antarctic Program.

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 recycling comment: we don't let these ruminations deter us from taking personal responsibility for environmental good - recycle your milk cartons!

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!

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?
