The final stage of #LaVuelta24 brings the peloton to the Madrid Basin. This is a topographic depression surrounded by mountains, which was filled with sediments in the last 20 million years or so. The Madrid Basin contains the world's largest deposits of sepiolite, a special…
When the riders climb Geulhemmerberg during stage 4 of the TdFF, they pass along the rock layer that recorded the extinction of the dinosaurs. Special guest presenter @MelanieDuring of @uppsalauni takes you underground to explain to you what happened the day the dinosaurs died.…
It’s our first Tour de France Femmes avec @GoZwift blog so it’s time for a good warming up. Not the one you had in mind on your trainer racing through the deserts Watopia (although temperatures n Rotterdam will soar today) but the use of geology to heat the greenhouses along…
TdFF 2024 - stage 1! The race starts in the west of the Netherlands, in Rotterdam. Not only a place for the world’s top female bike riders to start, but also the location of one of the largest harbors of the world. Naturalis Biodiversity Center, our partners in @geotdf crime,…
Dan komt het helemaal goed 😀👊🌎. Zo zie maar weer welke geweldige perspectieven je hebt met aardrijkskunde 🤩

It's the Olympics and of course we have geology for you. The Seine river, where the opening ceremony is tonight, shaped the city of Paris and its surroundings. Where it had no room to flow, it flattened the land where we now see Versailles and the Equestrian events or, of…
On the final day of the Tour de France, we are back at the Mediterranean Sea. We already learned that it once was completely dry and like salt flats. Remember the Messinian Salinity Crisis of stage 2? Today we go deep under the shiny blue waters and find out if the Alps just…
In our last clip for the men's Tour de France, stage 20, @marjieparj takes you to Saint-Martin-Vésubie, a village that saw destruction during storm Alex in 2020. She explains how the valleys that the rides use for a climb into the Alps were actuallymade by rivers and sediments…
Riders come in three classes: sprinters, puncheurs, and climbers.And geology comes in three types: sedimentary basins, deformed sedimentary rocks, and crystalline basement. And stage 17 has something for everyone! Presenter Douwe @vanHinsbergen explains how the geology…
We ride through the Pyrenees on Stage 15. The region is rich in the mineral deposits and ores that are important for the metals and minerals needed to make bikes. Without geology we don’t have a Tour de France but without geology we also wouldn’t have bikes and tyres. We want…
Geology shapes the landscape but also how to use it. The Bresse Graben along stage six made for great transport routes and fabulous wine. But what is a Graben and why are they relevant? First of all, they show the results of millions of years of plate tectonics but they also…
Why are the northern Apennines in 🇮🇹 an earthquake hotspot? Presenter @vanHinsbergen explains in our first clip of this year's #Tour2024, @LeTour! Enjoy! @UUEarthSciences @UniUtrecht @knag @TNO_nieuws @AnaNov4k
It’s two days to the Grand Départ but at GeoTDF we are already off the start ramp! We have our daily blogs, exciting videos and great geology background information. Cycling is entertainment but why not learn something in the process too!! All 21 blogs are now on the website…
We don’t want to alarm anyone but GEO TOUR DE FRANCE STARTS IN ONE WEEK 🎉🇫🇷🇮🇹🎉 We have your daily dose of geology: from the first humans in France to the Variscan Orogeny, limestone (lots of it), some dinosaurs, wine and salt (don’t mix) and the origins of gravel.…
During stage 2 of the #Giroditalia, the peloton left the African plate, but today, during stage 11, they return! The stage starts in folded sedimentary rocks the southern Apennines that were deposited in a deep sea between two shallow Bahamas-style platforms. The basin is called…
During stage 9 of the #GirodItalia, things finally get explosive! Volcano day! The stage brings the riders through the Campanian volcanic arc. The volcanoes today are geologically quite young features, but they made their mark in history. We start relatively calmly, with the…
Gemist bij @NOSwielrennen? Geen punt! La Doyenne is het oudste monument, en snijdt door de oudste geologie: oude plooien uit het Carboon, 300 miljoen jaar geleden. In deze clip laat Geo-Sports presentator Douwe @vanHinsbergen zien dat de heuvels die de renners moeten bedwingen…
En voor als je hem gemist had bij @NOSwielrennen: hier is de Nederlandse versie van de Geologie van de Amstel Gold Race, met Marjolein Naudé (@marjieparj)! @UUEarthSciences @UU_PhysGeog @UUGeo @UniUtrecht @knag
Wanneer brak de Hel van het Noorden los? @GeoTdF's Marjolein Naudé (@marjieparj) legt voor @NOSwielrennen uit waarom de regio van #ParisRoubaix2024 een ondergrond heeft die die lompe kasseien nodig hadden om de boel een beetje begaanbaar te maken! Dit is het gevolg van een…
Happy @RondeVlaanderen day! We celebrate with our first geology-of-cycling clip of this year 🤠. Flanders is known for its short, steep climbs even though the hills are not much higher than 150 m. Why is the relief so steep? Presenter Prof. Douwe @vanHinsbergen give cooking…
