The The Geological Society has developed a set of courses mainly aimed to provide CPD for current and prospective Chartered Geologists and Scientists. There is always room for more courses and particularly more diversity of subject matter. If you have a topic of interest you think could form a training course for geoscientists - get in touch with GSL #cpd #geoscience #chartership

Imagine this, only three days after starting at #university, our new #undergraduate #geology #students at Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter had their first #fieldtrip! It’s so fantastic to live and study in #Cornwall, where geology is exceptionally well exposed within an hour’s drive from our #Penryn campus. We examined #Devonian #mudstones and #sandstones deposited at the passive margin of #Avalonia and folded during the #Variscan collision with #Gondwanaland, as well as the raised #beach, river gravel and #periglacial head deposits at #Godrevy, followed by an al-fresco #pasty lunch on #Marazion beach with views to St Michael’s Mount, and finished the day exploring the remains of #tin and #arsenic #mining at #Botallack. The trip was led by Stephen Hesselbo, Kate Littler, Aveen Hameed and myself. The weather and company couldn’t have been better, and it was fantastic to see the students engage with geology and develop the new friendships that are so important at the start of university. Welcome to Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter, you’ve joined a great community, and we hope you have a fantastic time with us! University of Exeter
