About The RockyTerrain Podcast

Rocks are not the boring objects we often make them out to be. They are the direct result of everything that ever took place on our planet. Everything from the initial accumulation of Earth, to the dawn of continents and major extinction events, has been documented in the rocks below our feet. Geological sciences represent the key to unlocking the potential of this valuable archive. An archive, which exists not only here, but on any terrestrial object in the Universe. Come and join us - let us listen to the stories rocks can tell us.

Episode 13 - Getting back to the Moon | The Artemis Project

We have not been to the Moon for over 50 years, but this is about to change. The Artemis mission could start a new era of space exploration - one in which scientists working on another celestial body might become the norm. Thomas gives a general mission profile and we discuss different aspects of space exploration.

Episode 12 - The Day after Tomorrow

What does happen when ocean currents break down? Well, that is precisely the question addressed in The Day After Tomorrow. Since we had not seen it before, we decided to give it a shot and discussed the science involved (or rather not involved) afterwards.

Episode 11 - The Moon is shaking

The moon is often perceived as an unchanging, dead and pale object in our night sky. However, recent research indicates that the moon is in fact geologically active. Certain surface structures indicating tectonic processes seem to be of a relatively young age and it is very likely that these resume until today. This renewed view of a more active moon has important implications for future manned missions and especially potential colonization.

Episode 10 - The Balve dig site

There is a strange paleontological dig site near Balve in the Sauerland of Northwestern Germany. All that is visible at first is a crevice filled with mud - mud which was deposited during the Lower Cretaceous. It and a few other such localities are all that is left to tell the story of an ancient nearshore environment with lakes and rivers. The site resembles a window back to the time of the dinosaurs in Central Europe and, more than anything else, grants a look at what animals were scurrying around their feet.

Episode 9 - Perseverance

On the 18th of February 2021 NASAs Perseverance Rover successfully landed in the Jezero Crater on Mars. It will explore the region and its complex geological history and launch the first mini helicopter on another planet. It follows in the footsteps (or rather wheel tracks) of its older sibling rovers like Curiosity. We talk about the mission objectives and the technology aboard the rover, as well as about why Jezero Crater is a particularly interesting site to research.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
