Department of Earth Sciences

 

During the Easter vacation of the Part IA course you will spend seven days on the Isle of Arran, off the coast of south-west Scotland. It is a location unparallelled in the world for the diversity and number of different geological features.

We investigate the sediments that document Britain's northwards drift across the equator over the last 400 million years, seeing gigantic millipede tracks in Carboniferous forests, the deserts of the Permian and the volcanism of the last sixty million years.
