Ever wondered what kind of people dedicate their lives to rocks? ‘Geologists from Planet Earth’ might challenge your ideas. In this podcast, geologists tell their stories, a geologist who dodged lions during fieldwork, another who turned ancient rock data into music, and one who found love (and radioactive rocks) working for the Pentagon in Afghanistan. There's a geologist who found working on Greenlandic cliffs more terrifying than the north face of the Eiger and another who navigated a career through mining and motherhood, while proving her father gloriously wrong. ‘Geologists from Planet Earth’ reveals the surprising and inspiring journeys of geologists who - every one of them - are passionate about the planet that we live on.

    Gillian is a Nairobi-based geologist who didn't exactly stumble into the field, but rather, geology found her, from a phone call that led her on a new path to discovering her purpose. Gillian's early experiences of fieldwork in a remote Kenyan landscape include a heart-pounding encounter with wildlife. And she shares her insights on overcoming challenges as a woman in a male-dominated field. If you're a woman considering a STEM career, Gillian's honesty about carving out her space is essential listening. Gillian’s story isn't just about rocks, it's about her resilience and passion for understanding our planet.
