SUMMARY:South Queensferry
DESCRIPTION:Leader: Dr Richard Smith \nJoint excursion with the Edinburgh Geological Society \nThe excursion starts on the promenade to set the scene and view the 3 bridges now spanning the Firth of Forth. Then we examine the accessible exposures along the shore to the east of South Queensferry which include the Lower Carboniferous West Lothian Oil-Shale Formation dipping generally westwards above the older Gullane Formation (both Strathclyde Group). The West Lothian oil-shales comprise cycles of thin marine or freshwater limestones followed by lagoonal oil-shales then mudstones\, siltstones and sandstones where deltaic systems fed into a wide lagoon (Lake Cadell) which existed in this area about 335 Ma\, open to the north-east but bounded to the south-east by the Southern Uplands. To the east the Gullane Formation\, comprising sandstone and mudstone but generally lacking oil-shale\, was intruded during Upper Carboniferous times by two prominent sills\, the Mons Hill teschenitic sill and the Hound Point quartz-dolerite sill. These rocks were folded and faulted during the subsequent Variscan Orogeny. The surface bedrock has gradually been eroded by the elements\, including within the last two million years\, the Pleistocene glaciations. Subsequent late glacial and postglacial deposits cover much of the bedrock away from the shoreline. \nFollowing the excursion\, we will have high tea with our EGS colleagues. \nTravelling by private car. Meet at 10:30 at Hawes Pier\, South Queensferry; NT 135783. Parking is available by the promenade to the west. \nThere is no charge for the excursion\, but members are expected to meet the cost of their high tea. \nThe numbers on this joint excursion are limited to 10 from each society. Therefore early booking is advisable if you wish to make sure of a place.

SUMMARY:Onich Shore
DESCRIPTION:Leaders: Dr Iain Allison & Jim Blair \nOnich Shore is a classic east-west cross-section through folded Dalradian metasediments\, part of the Appin Syncline\, including Appin Phyllite\, Limestone and Quartzite\, and with Ballachulish Slates\, plus some minor basic dykes and intrusive bodies. With easy parking and access at the petrol station in North Ballachulish\, it is claimed to be the most visited section of the Grampian Terrane. The shore is mainly of shingle\, with some short rocky sections; hence walking boots or wellies are recommended. The Dubh Ghlac (Onich Dry Gorge) lies a further 1\,000 metres to the west of the section and a series of other localities are scattered around Loch Leven to the east (some of these localities are of quick and easy access\, others less so). \nA key reference is “The Dalradian rocks of the central Grampian Highlands of Scotland”\,\nJ.E. Treagus\, P.W. Tanner\, P.R. Thomas\, R.A. Scott and D. Stephenson\, Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association\, 124\, 2013 (page 167). \nLeaving Molema Building at 9:00\, returning at 20:00\, travelling by coach; stopping for a bar snack on way home

SUMMARY:Snowdonia
DESCRIPTION:Leader: Simon Cuthbert \nField days: Friday/ Saturday/ Sunday/ Monday \nThe landscape of Snowdonia National Park\, “Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri” in Welsh (Eryri means place of the eagles) is dramatic and varied\, with mountains\, craggy peaks\, precipices and cascading waterfalls. Snowdon – Yr Wyddfa – is the highest peak at 3\,560ft. The geology includes sedimentary\, volcanic and intrusive rocks of late Proterozoic to Silurian age. The rugged mountain scenery is dominated by the Ordovician volcanics\, including spectacular pyroclastic rocks from giant ash-flow eruptions seen in the extensive ignimbrites. All these are related to the subduction of the Iapetus Ocean crust and formed as part of the back arc basin in a volcanic arc system. These\, and the famous Cambrian slates that “roofed the world”\, were intensely faulted\, folded and subjected to low-grade metamorphism during the Caledonian Orogeny. The region was uplifted as the North Atlantic opened during the Cenozoic while the current mountainous landscape and its cwms (corries) have resulted from repeated late Cenozoic glaciations\, as recognised by Charles Darwin during his travels in the area. The trip will focus on the Ordovician volcanics and will examine the large-scale Caledonian folding\, all set in Eryri’s wonderful glacier-carved mountain scenery. We may also manage a trip on the Snowdonia Mountain railway! \nAccommodation will be B&B; transport by shared car\, or by train (Glasgow to Betws-y-Coed)\, then hire of a local coach/minibus. We will travel to Snowdonia on Thursday 8 September and travel home on Tuesday 13 September. \nThere are still places available on this excursion. \nIf you are interested\, please contact the residential excursions secretary\, Maggie Donnelly\, at restrips@gsocg.org.

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.

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: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: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: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.
