Are you a gamer? Do you know the lingo? Marie Curie Fellow Dr Eleanore Blereau from the University of Leeds is not only a gaming expert, but she is also a petrochronology one. Eleanore explains to Dr. B and Dr. Silvia that petrochronology is a way to describe a field of science where petrologists utilize age data by linking time to geological processes and where additional layers of physical and/or chemical information such as pressure, temperature, and fluid presence, can be also utilized to better understand the investigated scientific questions. Eleanore chats with Dr. B on how she used petrochronology in past and present research projects and the powerful potential that this discipline has in geosciences. Tune-in to learn more about the world of petrochronology!
This is the last episode of the 2021 Gneiss Chats series. Go back to listen to previous episodes while waiting for series two, coming up in 2022. Thanks from the GC crew for listening.

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.
