Geological Themes
A one year (or individual 10 week term modules) recreational course attending one evening per week, including day and weekend field trips, designed to develop your understanding and knowledge of geology.
Term 1
Practical Identification of Geological Specimens (minerals, rocks and fossils). A chance to improve your practical skills, including some microscope work.
Term 2
An overview of Scottish Geology; the geological map of Scotland, and its origins through geological time.
Term 3
The Reading and Interpretation of Geological Maps. Geological maps contain a wealth of information, which many people find difficult to extract, if they cannot “see 3D”. This course aims to remedy this situation, by the practical study of mainly local maps, but there will be opportunity to study maps from further afield in the UK and also to look at “foreign” geological maps. The course will be practically, ‘hands on’ based, and relating to local geology as far as possible.
Held at Wynstones School, Stroud Road, Whaddon, Gloucester from 7.30 to 9.30pm on Mondays.
The first meeting will be on Monday September 15th. Trips to be arranged at participant’s convenience (see below).
Contact Dave Green for further details and a separate leaflet on 01594 860858.
