The blog has been live for a week now and the first of the seminar recordings has been available for much of that time. Any comments on the blog and the recordings as they are posted will be welcomed with the aim of improving standards, both in terms of content of the presentations and the quality of presenting delivered.
As the post title hints, Seminar 16 is one of two planned on the subject of Glacial Geology. Part 1 covers an introduction to Ice Ages and their causes before focusing on the Quaternary Glaciation and then glacial periods which geologists know have occurred at intervals during geological history dating all the way back to the Precambrian. I then look at glaciers and glacial processes. Part 2 (the presentation for which is still being worked on) will look at glacial deposits, primarily those found in the UK.
As usual the presentation is based on my university notes and published material including on-line sources. A key reference source was the Geological Society's publication "The Geology of England and Wales" edited by Patrick Brenchley and Peter Rawson. The current version is the 2nd Edition, published in 2006. Images used in the presentation are credited as noted on the slide in question.
