Earth Science

The Department of Earth, Ocean and Ecological Sciences has celebrated two centenaries in the past 3 years; in 2017 we celebrated 100 years of Geology and 50 years of Geophysics, and in 2019 it was 100 years of Ocean Sciences.

These celebrations have involved several public events, including a major national Earth Sciences research conference (the VMSG-TSG-BGA Joint Assembly with >450 delegates), a series of public lectures and outreach events to engage with the general public and school children.
