And the day after he is at Derby University lecturing in Derby...hoping to get to it...
The Student Geol. Soc. have finally booked the services of Dr Mike Simms (Ulster Museum) for what I’m sure will be a fascinating talk on Thursday at 6 pm - .
Mike will have plenty to say about the spectacular impact-related deposits in the Mesoproterozoic Stoer Group of the NW Highlands, which students have seen (or will see) on the Assynt excursion. He will no doubt also cover other evidence of impacts in Great Britain.
Mike gave the Annual Address at BSRG two years ago on this topic and I know that his thinking his moved on since then. Be prepared for some stimulating and well-presented ideas – I believe he may suggest the actual site of the Mesoproterozoic impact!
The Facebook notification gives the room as N101 rather than T112 (as on the poster). If students query this, tell them to go to T112. I anticipate that N101 will not be big enough. If the capacity of T112 is exceeded we can move to T201 or T204, both of which are free from 5 pm.
