In this episode of Planet Geo, Jesse and Chris delve into why now is an exhilarating time to be a geologist. They explore the importance of understanding what's beneath our feet—literally—and its implications for everything from finding deeper, smaller, and more costly geothermal energy sources to creating metamorphic reactions. There's emphasis on how the next big boom in geoscience will be driven by the world's changing needs, particularly in energy transition and climate solutions, which lie at depth. Also, they discuss how fracking for heat and mapping geological features at extraordinary depths can provide answers to today's pressing environmental challenges. Tune in to discover why the field's future looks rock-solid and why a niche skill set in phase diagrams could be your golden ticket in an evolving industry. Chris even contemplates bringing more 'phase'-ing diagrams into his high school teaching, aiming to better equip the next generation of geoscientists. So grab your virtual pickaxe and helmet; it's time to dig deep, the future lies at depth!
