Geo-Sports is an initiative to explain the beauty and importance of Earth Sciences to the public, using the geology that is visible on your television when you watch pro-sports events. We cover especially pro-cycling (the Geology of the Tour de France), but also other cycling races, the Ocean Race sailing regatta, or the Dakar Rally.

The Geo-Sports initiative aims to provide a diverse range of Earth Scientists with a platform to share their knowledge and insight with unsuspecting sports enthusiasts. We lightheartedly explain the wonders of our planet with sports fans, and aim to provide visibility for a wide range of roll models for the earth sciences

Geo-Sports is a non-profit initiative led by Prof. Douwe van Hinsbergen at Utrecht University, in collaboration with Naturalis Biodiversity Center, which received funding through the Nationale Wetenschaps Agenda (National Science Agenda) of NWO.
