The Collections

Science communication you can wear

GeoCuriosity started with a simple idea: a t-shirt can communicate science. Every design brings natural history into daily life, told accurately, and in a lot of cases powered by prehistoric humor. The catalog runs 1,600+ products deep.

The Roadmap

From blank cotton to living kelp

Every GeoTee makes the same trip. Here is the whole road, start to finish.

  1. The Blank

    The Blank

    • 100% ring-spun cotton, lightweight and soft.
    • A smooth, tight knit that takes print cleanly.
    • Built to survive the wash cycle for years.
    100% CottonPrint-ReadyLong Lasting
  2. The Design

    The Design

    • Original artwork, designed digitally by our in-house design team.
    • Rotating drops from guest artists who share their work here too.
    • Fact-checked for scientific accuracy.
    • DTG printed: the ink bonds into the fabric for a soft, long-lasting print.

  4. The Kelp

    The Kelp

    • The last stop: every order funds kelp seaforestation in the Salish Sea.
    • Hectare for hectare, growing kelp can capture CO₂ faster than a forest on land.
    • Restored kelp can multiply local fish biomass up to 20-fold.
    • Damps waves, easing coastal erosion and storm surge.
    • Needs no land, no freshwater, no fertilizer.

Our Impact

Every order helps replant kelp

Kelp forests are the rainforests of the sea. Along much of the British Columbia coast, warming water has thinned them into urchin barrens, bare stretches of rock where little else lives.

1 Kelp
Per Order Placed

So every GeoCuriosity order helps replant kelp close to home, in the Salish Sea. The work is funded through GoodAPI, verified by veritree. Our orders support the Sunshine Coast Seaforestation project, seeding giant kelp, bull kelp, and sugar kelp.

Where it happens

The Salish SeaHotham SoundPowell River
  1. Cultured

    Young kelp starts in a dedicated sea-forest hatchery, growing on seeded spools of braided twine.

  2. Out-planted

    The young kelp is planted out on line and gravel on the seafloor.

  3. Growing fast

    Kelp can grow up to about 30 centimetres a day, some of the fastest growth on Earth.

Who depends on kelp forests

HerringWild salmonRockfishSea ottersNorthern abalone (endangered)

Kelp creates shaded, sheltered habitat that boosts biodiversity, supports local fisheries, improves water quality, and softens coastal erosion. Replanting it rebuilds the neighbourhood, not just the trees.

The People Doing the Work

Restoration rooted in these waters

The project is carried out in collaboration with Coastal Kelp and five Indigenous partners across the Salish Sea:

Map of the Salish Sea. Yellow markers show kelp restoration sites at Hotham Sound, Powell River, Prevost Island, and Okisollo Channel. Green markers show the five partner Nations.

We fund this work and tell people about it. The restoration itself belongs to the crews and communities doing it.

GeoCuriosity's founder, Joshua, does research on British Columbia's kelp forests. Of all the causes a shirt could support, this one is personal.

great, even though a sewing on the collar broke at the second laundry

Midnight Mirror Stag T-Shirt

The shirt took a while to get here, but it is a very nice shirt, soft and comfortable and it fits true to size. I will be ordering more.

Deep Anglerfish Light T-Shirt

Deep Time Stegosaurus T-Shirt

Customer photo review of Deinonychus Swift Raptor T-Shirt

This M size T-shirt came with L width (54-55 cm) and S lenght (72 cm), which does not fit my son's size. The delivery itself took about a month....instead of 9 business days. Not satisfied at all. The T-shirt itself looks good, design is fantastic, quality seems to be fine...but now I am not sure if I want to re-order as who can tell what size will arrive?

We Are Fish T-Shirt

I didn’t realize this company uses AI pictures for shirts and I’m bummed, I should have looked closer

The Devonian Fool T-Shirt

Nice fit and feel. I'd like to suggest that you make it possible to enlarge the view of your designs on the website. I couldn't tell exactly what the design on my shirt was going to look like when I bought it, and I was a little disappointed.
