The Zurich 2024 time trials are in full swing but how did this landscape along the wonderful Lake Zurich and the rolling hills around the city come about? Let's turn to Geology and look back in time.

The future of cycling is in the hands of the juniors and U23 riders racing against the clock today and tomorrow. But how can geology help with future-proof storing nuclear waste from Zurich's three nuclear power plants? @Thomas_geosc of Earth and Planetary Sciences at ETH Zurich at ETH ZĂŒrich Zurich explains this.

Curious about the backgrounds of the Geology of the Tour de France project? We wrote a little paper about it all, and it just came out in Geology Today! with @vanHinsbergen Marjolein NaudĂ©, josebeentv . Check it out: Geology of the Tour de France: taking a sports audience by surprise đ

The road race takes us to beautiful geological sites along the route like drumlins, valleys, a tafelberg and gorgeous lakes. Stefan Heuberger of Earth and Planetary Sciences at ETH Zurich at ETH ZĂŒrich Zurich takes you on a tour to see but also shows you what you canât see anymore. Ice ages and warmer periods


The race is off to a nuclear start..... Which is logical because Zurich is home to three nuclear power plants because it's a tectonically stable region. Read more about that in our blogs around these World Championships that we made with scientific partner @eth ETH ZĂŒrich_EAPS Zurich

Last day of the #Zurich2024 world championships, the men will have to show what theyâre worth! And theyâre lucky the race wasnât 24000 years ago, because theyâd had have to ski the entire thing back then đ„¶ Stefan Heuberger at Earth and Planetary Sciences at ETH Zurich of ETH Zurich explored the route for you and



Thanks Geological Society of South Africa for inviting us to write about @Geotdf in your Geobulletin! And for all of you out there interested, you can find our editorial, by Marjolein NaudĂ© and @vanHinsbergen here: gssa.pub/gb/content/issâŠ


What would the season's Grande Finale of Il Lombardia be without geology! (The answer probably is: a very flat spinter's race) You'll see the leaves falling over the folded and pushed up limestones - and dolomites of course, the name giver of the Italian Alps! And you'll see


Geology of the Tour de France Love this! Thanks, Geology! đȘš x đ #iLombardia
