SUMMARY:The geology of the Mendip Hills (online lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Dr Doug Robinson\, University of Bristol (retired) \nSomerset is a unique county with more geological periods present than most other English counties. The city of Wells is well known as England’s smallest city but within its immediate backdrop the rocks record a longer geological history than any other English city – a 200 million year (Devonian to Jurassic)\, 6\,000 km journey from the southern tropics across the equator into northern latitudes. \nThis lecture will be held as a Zoom meeting. Society members for whom we have email addresses will be sent an invitation a few days before the event. If you are a member but are not on our email list\, or a non-member who would like to join the meeting\, please email the society’s meetings secretary to request an invitation.

SUMMARY:Large-scale CO2 removal via enhanced rock weathering (online lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Professor David Beerling\, University of Sheffield \nEnhanced silicate rock weathering (ERW)\, deployable with croplands\, has potential use for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) removal (CDR)\, which is now necessary to mitigate anthropogenic climate change. ERW also has possible co-benefits for improved food and soil security\, and reduced ocean acidification. The talk will discuss the challenges and opportunities of ERW deployment\, including the potential for excess industrial silicate materials (basalt mine overburden\, concrete\, and iron and steel slag) to obviate the need for new mining\, as well as uncertainties in soil weathering rates and land–ocean transfer of weathered products. \nFurther Reading \nBeerling\, D.J. 2020. Potential for large-scale CO2 removal via enhanced rock weathering with croplands. Nature\, 583\, 242–248. \nDavid is the Director of the Leverhulme Centre for Climate Change Mitigation and Sorby Professor of Natural Sciences in the Department of Animal and Plant Sciences (APS) at the University of Sheffield.\nHe has written two popular science books: “The Emerald Planet” and “Making Eden”. \nThis lecture will be held as a Zoom meeting. Society members for whom we have email addresses will be sent an invitation a few days before the event. If you are a member but are not on our email list\, or a non-member who would like to join the meeting\, please email the society’s meetings secretary to request an invitation.
