Are there geology MOOCs anywhere? Every time I go looking I find at most like three but one's in Chinese (which I don't know nearly well enough to take a course in), one's some advanced thing, and the other... I don't even remember.

Anyway, is there anywhere I could possibly peek into a course like... Rocks an' Whatnot 101 maybe? Dirt Stuff for People with Clean Hands, maybe? :'D I can't promise I won't end up disinterested or get bored or distracted and quit, but I want such courses to be a thing anyway.

I keep this one on hand for discussions with people who say "but the climate has always varied". Rate of change is a thing.

Full documentary. Not sure if NatGeo actually gets youtube royalties from it, or if it's a bootleg.

I dug this box out of a cache north of the tree line. Tent camp was ten km away. We snowmobiled to the cache and dug it out, solely to take photos of the contents.
