EGS Lectures 2023/24: Prof Tony Prave - There is nothing left to learn about this scrap of NW Europe

Clough Medal lecture: Prof Tony Prave, University of St. Andrews
There is nothing left to learn about this scrap of NW Europe
The Scottish Highlands contain a rich record of Earth history spanning three billion years. Their study has been a veritable rite-of-passage for decades of structural, igneous and metamorphic geologists. As such, their (meta)sedimentary rock record was often viewed as a palette useful for unravelling deformational fabrics. More recently, researchers have begun to peer through those fabrics to reveal an archive of insightful information about the pivotal episodes that shaped evolution of Earth’s surface environments. This evening’s lecture is a personal journey through that archive.

Superb talk last night Tony.
As you suggested, Ed Stephens fighting tooth and nail to stop the department being shut down. Yup, Stuart and Donald are the fabric and foundation I remember.. We lost another essential component when Richard Batchelor passed.
An excellent lecture Tony, very well done.
