Dr. B was visited by the three spirits of Christmas to be reminded of all we’ve learned in this podcast so far about the past, present and future of our planet.

12 Days of GeoXmas
On the (First trhough Twelfth) day of Christmas
My geo friends brought to me,
Elongated mica fishes,
Rifts and related ore,
Some pahoehoe,
A steep slope angle,
Gold and silver nuggets,
Physical a-brasion,
Little shallow wells
An O-type star
Pho-tic zones with light,
Three-agonal moly,
Two bedding planes,
And a low tide that caused a tepee.

Host Information:
Dr. Vitor Barrote: A member of the Traveling Geologist team and the host for Gneiss Chats on the Geology Podcast Network. Vitor, also known as Dr. B, has a PhD in applied geology from Curtin University. His current research focus is on analytical developments in geochemistry and geochronology, but he has a soft spot for Economic Geology, also. He enjoys multidisciplinary studies that apply unorthodox and innovative solutions to resolve unusual problems. He is a big fan of spreading education through inclusive media, with science outreach efforts such as this podcast series. He also holds an (honorary) PhD in geological dad-jokes.
Producer Information:
Dr. Silvia Volante: A member of Traveling Geologist team, producer and occasional co-host for Gneiss Chats on the Geology Podcast Network. Silvia also has a PhD in applied geology from Curtin University. She loves to explore the different pressures, temperatures and compositions conditions at which igneous and metamorphic rocks formed. Her favorite word? Unravelling! Unravelling the evolution of basement rocks by mapping them in the field, as a good old-fashioned field geologist would do, and investigating the record incapsulated in minerals that define ductile fabrics and, why not, that can also be dated!
Dr. Bryant Ware: Dr. Ware is a geology researcher (an isotope geochemist, and geochronologist for those who want to know exactly) at Curtin University in Western Australia. He knows all about the nitty gritty details of the geochemical analysis of rocks to produce the data that help us to understand the processes that shape our planet. Despite spending an excessive amount of time in the clean lab, he loves the outdoors and spending time in the field. As a member of the Traveling Geologist Team, and producer on Gneiss Chats from the Geology Podcast Network he enjoys sharing his excitement about geology with others.
Dr. Francesca Miozzi: Francesca has a PhD in planetary geology from Sorbonne University. She is an experimental mineral physicist and petrologist who enjoys squishing and heating minerals to extreme pressures and temperatures, to investigate the mysteries of planetary interiors. She is also a member of the Geology Podcast Network’s Gneiss Chats and Traveling Geologist.
