Starting at the Beginning (or not)

Ah, when checking back through the recordings for past presentations, I find I have not got a recording for Seminar 1 - Doh!!  The earliest one I have is for Seminar 2, but in MP4 format no wmv, so the file is to big to publish.

In the way of background, I did not start recording the Seminars until No. 15 in 2014, although numbers 2 to 5 have been recorded when the seminars have been given again to different audiences, in this case Graduates in the 2014 / 2015 intakes. 

The presentations have been little altered for "second time around" so until I get round to delivering and recording Seminars 1,  6 to 14 there will be a bit of a gap in sequence.

First time round the presentations were delivered under the strapline of "How the Earth Was Made - An Introduction to Geology for All".  I cannot claim the credit for coming up with this, which was down to a colleague (thanks Gill) but it works so I still use it. 

Having a look at the poster slide I produced for the first seminar I see the date was 17th April 2012, so I started this process over 3 years ago.  Seminar 1 was delivered again to a an audience of Graduates on 9th October 2014, so only 18 months later....

Today I have delivered Seminar 17 on the Dinosaurs which seems to have been well received.  I also kept to time (just about) in only marginally exceeding the 1 hour allowed for the talk.  When I get the file prepared it will be posted.

To start the ball rolling (and until I can find a way to compress MP4 files to get them below 100 MB), the recording for Seminar 15 on Earthquakes is attached.  It even includes a short section of video feed to demonstrate primary and secondary seismic waves.
 

Enjoy.

Mark.
