SUMMARY:Dr Steve Boreham - The Geodiversity Landscapes of Cambridgeshire
DESCRIPTION:Dr Steve Boreham (BSc PhD) worked for the University of Cambridge for more than 30 years and has a special interest in Southern England\, East Anglia\, Fenland and the Cambridge District. He is a key member of the CGS Geosites team and in this talk he will describe the geodiversity of the county and its associated landscapes. \nThe CGS Geosites team has recently developed a landscape approach to describing the geology of Cambridgeshire and the geological (and geomorphological) features to be found here. This sets the geology in a context familiar to most people and also links it with local ecology and the key role that it has played in the economic development of the county\, from limestone\, chalk and clay to gravel\, sand and peat. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive description of local earth heritage and to promote its geoconservation.

SUMMARY:Dr Will McMahon - The Oldest Fossilized Trees Ever Found
DESCRIPTION:The evolution of trees and forests through the Devonian Period fundamentally changed the Earth’s land biosphere\, as well as impacting physical environments and geomorphology by stabilizing sediments and interacting with flowing air and water. In this talk I will describe a recently discovered forest landscape within the Middle Devonian (Eifelian) Hangman Sandstone Formation of Somerset and Devon. New fieldwork has shown that this unit contains the earliest fossil evidence for trees in the British record\, as well as the oldest known evidence globally for the relative position of standing trees: in common parlance\, a fossil forest. \nThese findings provide evidence that the Eifelian Stage of the Devonian (393.3-387.7 Ma) marks the onset of tree-driven changes to physical environments that would forever change Earth’s non-marine landscapes and biosphere.

SUMMARY:DR Nigel Woodcock - The History of Building Stone Use in South Cambridgeshire Churches
DESCRIPTION:A geological survey of about 120 medieval churches in south Cambridgeshire reveals a dominant theme of local fieldstone rubble walls with dressings of local Cretaceous Clunch and imported Jurassic Barnack limestone; the richer the church the greater the volume of costly Barnack. The Cretaceous Ely Sandstone forms rubble walls only near the city. Victorian renovations to the medieval fabric of south Cambs churches used a much wider range of stone from the Lincolnshire Limestone Formation and further afield\, made possible by new canal\, then rail\, networks. St Laurence at Foxton\, for example\, has fieldstone rubble walls\, partly rendered\, with medieval dressings of Barnack and Clunch\, much repaired with Bath stone in the nineteenth century.
