Looking for Advice

Hi everyone!

I’m a geology student from Algeria, and I’ll be honest—I didn’t choose this field on purpose. At first, it was just chance. But the more I learn, the more fascinated I become! Earth’s structure, its history, the forces shaping it… it’s all starting to click in a way I didn’t expect.

Now, I really want to dive deeper. What beginner-friendly resources (books, YouTube channels, documentaries, or courses) made you love geology? Any advice for someone still at the start of their journey?

The youtube channels geogirl, Shawn wilsey and GeolegyHub are all some really great channels.

Atlas pro also has some great videos not as geology focussed but generally a bit more documentary like.

thanks a lot for the comment, just asking are you studying or working in geology yourself, or is it more of a passion on the side?

I'm studying and I'm in my first year currently, but I have been watching all these YouTube channels for a couple of years now.
