Shell London Lectures 2012

[David Entwistle]

The Geological Society of London is delighted to again host the Shell London Lecture Series throughout 2012. These monthly public lectures are all held at the Geological Society's Piccadilly apartments in Burlington House. This series includes:

Wednesday 19 December - Incoming: Learning to love the meteorite, Ted Nield (GSL). See link for details.

Meteorites have been the stuff of legend throughout human history, and since 1980 the idea that dinosaurs were wiped out by a meteorite strike 65 million years ago has become one of the most widely known scientific ideas of all. However, the causes of the end Cretaceous mass extinction were complex, and the idea that major meteorite strikes are always bound to be bad news for life on Earth is being challenged by fresh discoveries...
