SUMMARY:Catching a Shooting Star (online lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Dr Queenie Chan\, Royal Holloway\, University of London \nIt is not easy to catch a shooting star\, but when we find one\, we make the most out of it by studying it in every detail to learn its secrets. Although the building blocks of life in meteorites could be vulnerable to extreme conditions\, e.g. toasty temperature during a meteorite’s fiery entry into the atmosphere\, the interiors of meteorites are buffered from those conditions. Trapped liquid water and life’s precursor molecules could have been preserved like “mosquito in amber” and therefore studied in the laboratory.\nQueenie Chan is a planetary scientist. Her work involves the analysis of the chemical and organic contents of astromaterials including meteorites and asteroidal/cometary samples returned by space missions. In this talk\, she will discuss how water and life’s simple building blocks were delivered to the early Earth. \nQueenie completed her PhD in Planetary Science at Imperial College in 2011\, and undertook post-doctoral assignments at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and NASA Johnson Space Center. Until 2020 she was with the Open University and has recently been appointed Technology Lecturer at Royal Holloway\, University of London. \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:Book launch: A Guide to the Geology of Islay\, Jura and Colonsay
DESCRIPTION:This is an event to launch A Guide to the Geology of Islay\, Jura and Colonsay\, Volume 2\, written by David Webster\, Roger Anderton and Alasdair Skelton. This is a  companion volume to A Guide to the Geology of Islay\, published in 2015\, which describes twelve geological excursions on Islay. \nThis new volume contains six excursions on Jura\, three on Colonsay and a further four on Islay\, that tell the fascinating story of the islands’ geological past from 2 billion-year-old gneiss to the Ice Age. The geology of each excursion is explained at an introductory level with maps and photographs\, and the walks range from leisurely rambles to more demanding treks and sea-kayak expeditions. \nYou can register for the launch event on the Eventbrite website and the book can be pre-ordered on the Ringwood website. \nA revised edition of the original guide is also available. This has some updates and improvements to key excursions and a revised geological framework section. You can order both volumes at a special price on the Ringwood website. \n
