Happy Ronde van Vlaanderen day! We celebrate with our first geology-of-cycling clip of this year 🤠. Flanders is known for its short, steep climbs even though the hills are not much higher than 150 m. Why is the relief so steep? Presenter Prof. Douwe @vanHinsbergen give cooking class: a recipe for a Flemish hill. @Naturalis_Sci Naturalis Biodiversity Center Earth Sciences - Utrecht University Utrecht University KNAG

When the riders climb Geulhemmerberg during stage 4 of the TdFF, they pass along the rock layer that recorded the extinction of the dinosaurs. Special guest presenter Melanie During, PhD. ⛏🦕🦖🦩🍉 of Uppsala universitet takes you underground to explain to you what happened the day the dinosaurs died. She shows you small glass beads that she found in the gills of fishes, and how this explains why the extinction affected northern hemisphere animals more than their southern hemisphere cousins. And how this paved the way for cyclists! Earth Sciences - Utrecht University Utrecht University Geosciences UU KNAG TNO Nieuws Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (inactief)

For stage 11, @vanHinsbergen take you to the top of the Puy Mary, Europe's largest volcano and once the highest. And volcanism is in more ways connected to the #TDF2024 than you'd think...🌋🚴‍♀️🤠 Utrecht University Earth Sciences - Utrecht University KNAG
