With more travelers seeking meaningful, educational, and experience-driven adventures, Dr. Jo offers a unique perspective on why geology is becoming one of travel media’s most fascinating emerging subjects. Through her tours and fieldwork, she’s seen firsthand how volcanoes, glaciers, tectonic landscapes, and national parks can transform the way people connect with science and the natural world.
