NEXT WEEKS EVENTS
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 11TH
Geostudies - Lecture Series - Ordovician
When
Mon, 11 November, 19:30 – 21:30
Where
Wynstones School, Stroud Road, Whaddon, Gloucester (map)
Description
Geology of the Ordovician Period.
The last Phanerozoic geological period to be named, after a bitter struggle between Murchison and Sedgwick. Lasting from
485 to 444Ma ago, this period saw the enormous radiation of new forms of life and the earliest colonisation of the land by primitive plants “The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event” . The two halves of Britain were separated by the Iapetus Ocean, but both were tectonically extremely active. The supercontinent of Gondwana drifted across the South Pole, possibly triggering a short and unusual (high CO2) glaciation and the second biggest mass extinction of life at the end of the period. As usual there is considerable debate about aspects of this period.
Starts Mon 16th September for 10 weeks (not 28th Oct nor 4th Nov nor 2nd Dec), until 9th December Held at Wynstones School, Stroud Road, Whaddon, Gloucester from 7.30-9.30pm on Mondays.
Cost £75 (including tea, coffee etc at break time!).
TUESDAY 12TH
Cardiff University Lecture - Volcanoes—all you need to know!
When
Tue, 12 November, 18:30 – 20:00
Where
School of Earth and Ocean Sciences will be held in the Wallace Lecture Theatre (0.13), Main Building, Cardiff University, Park Place, Cardiff CF10 3AT (map)
Description
Building a volcano. Jon Blundy, University of Bristol
The 2019-2020 monthly Tuesday evening lecture series in the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences will be held in the Wallace Lecture Theatre (0.13), Main Building, Cardiff University, Park Place,
Cardiff CF10 3AT. Lectures begin at 18.30. Booking is not needed. Should you require the Q&A sessions to be in Welsh, please email edwardsd2@cardiff.ac.uk at least two weeks before the event.
Did you know that the majority of volcanic eruptions – maybe even 90% – occur under water and of which we are largely unaware? There remains a very great deal we don't know about volcanoes, but many exciting new insights are emerging from ongoing research. This lecture series will encompass the diversity of volcanoes, their functioning and products, together with the nature of eruptions and their attendant problems of predictions plus their ensuing past and present environmental and biological impacts.

Book at www.ElementumJournal.com/events
For the Bath event there is a booking fee of £10 online, in return for a £20 discount on any of the books.
However, the publisher is happy to give up to 20 complimentary tickets for the Bath event to students, academics, and anyone passionate about fossils and geology – ie anyone who may be cash-strapped - just so they can come and enjoy the talk and discussion.
Those requests should come directly to Wolfgang (i.e. do not book through the web site) with full names and email address and/or mobile phone numbers so that the complimentary tickets can be sent
