about.geoscopy

Hello! I make Geoscopy: videos and long-form essays about how the Earth actually works. The geology I grew up reading was either locked in textbooks nobody outside the field opens, or chopped into 30-second clips that miss the point. Geoscopy is what I wanted instead: the real science, explained clearly, without oversimplifications.

There’s 4.5 billion years of history under your feet. I’d like to teach you to read it.
