SUMMARY:A new stratigraphic framework for the early Neoproterozoic successions of Scotland (Moine Supergroup no more) (lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Dr Maarten Krabbendam\, British Geological Survey \nThe advent of modern dating techniques has\, in recent decades\, provided much better timing constraints on the deposition of Neoproterozoic sequences in Scotland\, in Greenland and Svalbard. This has shown that the Neoproterozoic evolution of this north Atlantic province is dominated by three tectonic episodes: the Grenville-Sveconorwegian orogeny\, the Renlandian orogeny and the rifting and formation of the Iapetus Ocean. In Greenland and Svalbard\, Neoproterozoic sedimentary rocks can be divided into three ‘megasequences’\, constrained by the three major tectonic episodes. In northern Scotland\, however\, the classic subdivision of Torridonian and Moine is at odds with these megasequences: a new stratigraphic framework is thus necessary. The oldest megasequence in Scotland is the newly named Wester Ross Supergroup\, comprising the Iona\, Sleat\, Torridon and Morar groups of the Scottish mainland and Inner Hebrides\, and the Westing\, Sand Voe and Yell Sound groups in Shetland. These units were deposited c. 1000–950 Ma within a foreland basin to the Grenville Orogen. The second megasequence is the newly named Loch Ness Supergroup consisting of the Glenfinnan\, Loch Eil and Badenoch groups of the Scottish mainland. These units were deposited after the Renlandian orogeny between c. 900–870 Ma and record Knoydartian orogenesis c. 820–740 Ma. The Dalradian Supergroup in the Grampian Highlands and Shetland belongs to megasequence 3; it was deposited c. ?800-480 Ma and records the opening of the Iapetus Ocean\, ultimately leading to deposition of the passive margin Cambrian–Ordovician Ardvreck and Durness groups in the NW Highlands. \n\nMSc Geology\, University of Utrecht\, 1990\n1991 – 1994:  Postdoctoral Research Assistant\, Queen’s University\, Belfast\, UK.  Geological mapping Glen Shee\, Grampian Highlands.  \n1994-1997: PhD in Structural Geology & Metamorphic Geology\, Exhumation of eclogite\, West Norway.

SUMMARY:The Anthropocene: a planetary scale change to the biosphere; and the future well-being of planet Earth
DESCRIPTION:Professor Mark Williams\, School of Geography\, Geology and the Environment\, University of Leicester \nOver the past ten millennia humans have halved the mass of the biosphere\, concentrated most of the mass of terrestrial mammals in themselves and the animals that feed them\, and in their billions of individuals now account for most of the numerical abundance of primates. Of itself\, this indicates a level of domination that is exceptional for a single large species in the history of the biosphere. To that we must add the systematic reconfiguration of ecosystems globally and the 1000s of non-native species that have been translocated therein. Many of these changes have left a distinctive palaeontological signature in the sedimentary record\, one likely to be recognisable in most regions and ecosystems of the world\, and one which may help to define a new epoch of geological time\, the Anthropocene. If sustained\, this change may denote a permanent state-shift in the structure of the biosphere. If it fails\, it will likely be the result of excessive human consumption resulting in a mass extinction. I will discuss how palaeontology contributes to quantifying the degree of Anthropocene change\, and how it might be used to influence our strategies towards a more sustainable relationship with nature. \n \nA manicured Japanese garden in Kyoto \nMark is a palaeobiologist at Leicester University. He studies the evolution of life on Earth and has been a long-time member (and former secretary) of the Anthropocene Working Group. He has co-authored popular science books with Jan Zalasiewicz on climate change\, ocean evolution\, and the story of life on Earth\, and with Jan and Julia Thomas he co-authored “The Anthropocene: A Multidisciplinary Approach” His latest book with Jan is called “The Cosmic Oasis: the Remarkable Story of Earth’s Biosphere”.

SUMMARY:Integrating geology into Ireland's radon map (lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Associate Professor Quentin Crowley\, Trinity College\, Dublin \nRadon is the main source of ionising radiation affecting the general population. Geology is the primary controlling factor for soil gas radon\, which in turn influences indoor radon concentrations. Globally\, exposure to indoor radon is the second highest cause of lung cancer after tobacco smoking. Integrating geogenic data into radon maps helps to improve our understanding of where radon is sourced and how it travels through the sub-surface. Integrating geology also helps to improve spatial resolution of radon maps and reduce uncertainties of predicted anomalies. This talk will explore how geology was used to refine Ireland’s radon map\, as part of a national strategy to help to lower the radon-related lung cancer incidence. \nQuentin is associate professor in geology and fellow of Trinity College Dublin. He is director of the Trinity Centre for the Environment\, and academic lead of EIT Climate-KIC at the university. His research can be broadly described as environmental geoscience\, with an emphasis on evolving earth systems\, including how society interacts with the solid Earth. \nThis will be an in-person talk. It will be preceded by the society’s annual general meeting.

SUMMARY:Walking with giants: on the banks of a 130-million-year-old river (lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Megan Jacobs\, University of Portsmouth \nThe Early Cretaceous (Barremian) Wessex Formation\, of the Isle of Wight\, UK\, is one of the best places in Europe to find dinosaurs. This island is full of brightly coloured sandstones and floodplain clays that regularly yield fossil remains ranging from fish and crocodiles to huge dinosaurs and giant pterosaurs. Take an exciting look back in time at the Wessex Formation and its ancient floodplains and forests. Learn about the geology\, meandering rivers\, complex soils\, and the high diversity of animals from insects to pterosaurs\, as well as what we have even recently learned from dinosaur stomach stones. \nMegan is a visiting researcher at the University of Portsmouth\, with her research focusing on Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous vertebrates\, including ichthyosaurs\, pterosaurs and dinosaurs. \nThis will be a remote talk. The speaker will be ‘on-screen’ in the lecture theatre and attendees can interact with the speaker from the lecture theatre. We will be recording the talk for later viewing but in order to maximise in-person attendence and minimise the technology issues we are not offering live online access to the talk.

SUMMARY:Lithium in Cornwall: the foundation for a responsible UK battery supply chain (lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Dr Rebecca Paisley\, Exploration Geochemist\, Cornish Lithium \nCornish Lithium is an innovative\, eco-technology company focused on mineral exploration and development for the environmentally sustainable extraction of lithium in the historic mining district of Cornwall\, UK. The company has secured agreements with the owners of mineral rights over a large area of the county and is using modern technology to re-evaluate the region for lithium and other technology metals which are essential components of modern life. A secure domestic supply of such metals is considered vital to the industrial strategy of the UK as it moves towards a zero-carbon future. \nRebecca is the Lead Geochemist for Cornish Lithium.\, She holds a PhD in Earth & Planetary Sciences from McGill University\, Canada\, and a master’s degree in Earth Sciences from the University of Oxford\, UK. She specialises in using geochemical data to constrain sub-surfaces processes in a variety of geological environments. Rebecca joined Cornish Lithium to assist with developing the geochemical side of their exploration efforts\, and currently designs and implements the geothermal waters sampling strategies for their drill programs. She also manages Cornish Lithium’s direct lithium extraction (DLE) work package\, evaluating different technologies and their abilities to process Cornish geothermal fluids. \nThis will be a remote talk. The speaker will be ‘on-screen’ in the lecture theatre and attendees can interact with the speaker from the lecture theatre. We will be recording the talk for later viewing but in order to maximise in-person attendence and minimise the technology issues we are not offering live online access to the talk.
