The Snowball Earth Theory of Global Glaciation
Date: 20th December
Time: 13:00
Speaker: Michael Hambrey, Emeritus Professor of Glaciology, Aberystwyth
Mike Hambrey, one of our members is giving a talk on Snowball Earth to the Intellectual Property Office in Newport, South Wales, and they are happy to invite other groups along. If any members are interested, they may like to follow the link below and register with Microsoft Teams. They will then get reminders nearer the time.
The talk is designed for people with a general science background, rather than geologists, but he will be focussing on the geological fieldwork he has done in Svalbard, East Greenland and Scotland.
Clive Boulter
We are sad to inform you of the sudden death of Clive Boulter on Saturday 7 January. He had a heart attack while out walking and died the following day in hospital with his family around him. Clive was an expert on Lake District geology who generously shared knowledge and expertise. He guided field trips, gave talks, wrote articles and gave workshops. Many of us will have benefitted from his help and been inspired by his enthusiasm.Â
The funeral is likely to be in the week commencing 23 January. If you wish to attend please email the Boulter family on Clive’s email address email hidden; JavaScript is required so they have an indication of likely numbers.
