SUMMARY:Mike Tuke - Determining the shape\, size and internal structure of the Earth
DESCRIPTION:A talk to demonstrate \n\nhow 2000 years ago the Greeks knew the Earth was a sphere and could calculate its circumference;\nhow the speed of rotation affexts the direction of wind and ocean currents and why the ice ages altered the spin;\nHow to measure the density of some rocks and compare with the density of the whole Earth;\nWhat that information\, along with data about earthquakes tells us about the internal composition of the Earth;

SUMMARY:Professor Neil Davies - Carboniferous Park - Giant Millipedes and other new fossil discoveries from the Northumberland Basin
DESCRIPTION:The Northumberland Basin developed as a depression in the lithosphere during the Palaeozoic Caledonian and Variscan orogenies. It extends from near Eyemouth in the north to near Newcastle in the south and contains an extensive archive of Carboniferous strata\, previously geologically famous for features such as the Whin Sill and Coal Measures. Recent work on the sedimentary strata in the basin has revealed several high resolution windows into the Carboniferous world\, and a review of these will be the focus of this talk. \nFeatures to be discussed include the discovery of the largest fossil arthropod in Earth history\, Arthropleura\, from a fallen block in the cliffs near Howick. This giant millipede-like organism sheds light on arthropod gigantism on Carboniferous Earth\, and the surrounding sedimentary rocks enable a high-resolution picture of its habitat to be painted. The talk will also discuss the discovery of a flooded forest floor from Lindisfarne\, newly located trackways of early amphibians from Northumberland National Park\, and discuss the exceptional tidal sedimentary record of Cocklawburn\, where strata record a day-by-day record of tropical shallow seas and the animals that lived there.

SUMMARY:Professor Mike Searle - Geological Evolution of the Himalaya
DESCRIPTION:Eight field seasons mapping around the Everest – Makalu massifs in Nepal and south Tibet has resulted in a detailed geological map (scale: 1:100\,000). Combining macro- and micro-scale structural mapping with thermobarometry and U-Pb geochronology has unravelled a comprehensive 4-dimensional history of the tectonic evolution of the Himalaya. The 25th April 2015 Gorkha earthquake resulted in 150 km long rupture across Nepal\, up to 5 meters of horizontal slip\, 1.5 meters of uplift of the peaks north of Kathmandu\, large-scale tilting of the Nepal Himalaya\, and huge destruction across the mountain regions of Nepal. This talk will briefly summarise the causes and consequences of the earthquake and our charity work rebuilding a village above the epicentre\, and constructing a new school and hospital. Recent road\, rail\, and dam construction in Nepal and especially in south Tibet have the potential to cause huge environmental damage\, and this talk will cover some of these ecological problems. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Geodiversity Landscape Visit to the Southern Fens including Chatteris Museum
DESCRIPTION:This is a chance for CGS members and other CGS volunteers to contribute to our geoconservation research. We will spend the day on the Fen Edge and southern part of the Fen Basin and Chatteris ‘island’. Includes a visit to Chatteris Museum for a ‘behind the scenes’ viewing of their fossil collection and exhibition on Fen drainage. We will then explore nearby to understand the formation of the fen basin\, evidence left by ancient rivers and marine incursions and ‘recent’ fen drainage. \nOpen to CGS Members and Volunteers only – Please email info@cambsgeology.org to register your interest. \n  \n
