This podcast explores some of the countless relationships between biology, biodiversity, and geology, past and present. This podcast explores some of the countless relationships between biology, biodiversity, and geology, past and present. We find out how geological processes on a large and small scale have influenced life from the beginnings, and continue to affect biodiversity today. Along the way, we will also have a peek at the physics of patterns.

From black smokers to music chiming with a nautilus shell, from obsessions with basalt to deep-sea ooze and the beginning of life on Earth. Finally, a look at the coevolution of life and landscapes will conclude our meander to join the dots between animate and (so-called!) inanimate matter.
