GeoGirl on YouTube
|
A channel filled with well presented, researched and engaging geoscience content. Every resource Rachel used is linked in the description and she often uses recently published papers in her videos so you can stay up to date! The video below is one of my favourites as it matched up with what I was learning in my 3rd Year Plate Tectonic Lectures. This is an excellent channel for applicants who want to explore the subject and for those already studying Earth Sciences. Check it out!
