Two zoom presentations from students who recently received grants from the Society: Kiara Brooksby, Camborne School of Mines, Exeter University and Ella Davis, Department of Geosciences, Virginia Tech.
Leaders: Iain Alison and Katie Strang *children welcome and free with an adult* This guided walk will use the Strathclyde geoconservation group's leaflet but in the reverse direction. This half-day trip will take an entirely off-road route along the Kelvin River Walkway taking in the geology along the way. Many exposures can be seen across […]
