NEXT WEEKS EVENTS
25th February to 3rd March 2019
THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXTRACT FROM BRISTOL AND WEST COUNTRY GEOLOGY CALENDARS
MORE DETAILS CAN BE FOUND IN THE BRISTOL AND THE WEST COUNTRY CALENDARS AND ON THE WEB SITES OF THE RELEVANT SOCIETY OR ORGANISATION.
MONDAY 25TH
Course - The Geology of Eruptions, Earthquakes and Tsunamis
When
Mon, February 25, 7:30pm – 9:30pm
Where
Wynstones School, Stroud Road, Whaddon, Gloucester (map)
Description
The Geology of Eruptions, Earthquakes and Tsunamis
Three of the most devastating natural disaster-forming events are geological, all related to plate tectonics, and are very difficult, if not impossible, to accurately forecast. What are the causes of these events and their various manifestations? Why are some more dangerous than others? How can we prevent or mitigate these effects? Examples of some of these phenomena will be used to illustrate these points Monday 7th for 10 weeks (not 18h Feb) until 18th March. Held at Wynstones School, Stroud Road, Whaddon, Gloucester from 7.30-9.30pm on Mondays . Cost £75

Bristol Nats - Lecture
When
Wed, February 27, 7:30pm – 9:00pm

Description
GEOLOGY OF THE AREA NORTH OF BRISTOL
Dave Green
7.30 p.m. Wednesday 27 February 2019
Dave Green is well known for his presentations on the subject of local geology. It is hoped that this talk will appeal to those BNS members who may not consider themselves to be specialist geologists but would nevertheless like to learn something of local geology which together with climate forms the foundation of the Natural History of the Bristol Region. It is intended that as a follow on from this talk a Field meeting will be held in the summer to look at the geology of the area north of Bristol and in particular Barnhill Quarry, Chipping Sodbury.
Thursday 28th
Course - Advances in Understanding Earth’s Structure and Operation
When
Thu, February 28, 7:30pm – 9:30pm
Where
The Chantry, Thornbury. (map)
Description
Advances in Understanding Earth’s Structure and Operation.
This 10 week course aims to introduce you to relatively new ideas, some accepted, some controversial, about the internal structure and tectonics of the Earth. Many ideas have changed radically since the inception of the Plate Tectonic hypothesis, and especially in the period from the 1990s, partly as a result of new technology, and the re-examination of parts of the theory that evidence did not support. Each week we will examine a different topic, such as subduction, mantle dynamics, mantle plumes. Held at The Chantry, Thornbury. First meeting 7.30 – 9.30, Thurs 10th January until March 21st (not Thurs 21st Feb). Cost £75
