The glacial history of our region has a complexity that is yet to be fully unrav- elled, but significant discoveries have been made in recent years that throw light on the glacial, periglacial and interglacial periods that have transformed our landscape. Phil is a Quaternary geologist, and this talk will describe how the dramatic changes in palaeoenvironments over the last 500,000 years or more, have been revealed by a study of our regional geology.

Phil is a Quaternary geologist whose interests include Pleistocene/Neogene geology, sedimentation and stratigraphy, using multi-disciplinary methods to establish changing palaeogeography and palaeoenvironments
