Saturday 14th March 13.00hrs

Professor Jamie Woodward will speak on ‘The storage of microplastics in the river channels and floodplains of Anthropocene Manchester’.

Professor Woodward has recently published a fascinating book entitled ‘A Little History of the Earth’.  In forty short essays he covers the major geological events and scientific breakthroughs in our 4.5 billion year history.  Anyone new to geology should find this a good introduction.

We also have Dr Adam McArthur of Leeds talking about his work in Morocco, The Miocene aged source to sink sedimentary system in Morocco.
