Welcome to Backseat Geology!
Mission
To foster personal relationships with the planet by feeding curiosity in simple, accessible ways.
Purpose
Backseat Geology provides road trip companions for people who want to see more than just scenery.
We help you recognize the stories etched into stone—the shifting continents, prehistoric seas, volcanic eruptions, and quiet erosion that shaped the land beneath your wheels.
Written for the everyday explorer, this project blends storytelling with science to awaken your sense of wonder.
Because the Earth isn’t just beautiful—it’s a witness to deep time. And once you learn to read the rocks, even an ordinary highway becomes a portal through geologic history.
