This webinar will explore the exceptional preservation of invertebrates in amber, viewed using optical microscopes and microtomography

A meeting exploring the evolution, locomotion and lives of animals from the distant past.

The YGS AGM with special guest Prof. Dame Jane Francis (Director, British Antarctic Survey), grants winners conference, President’s reception and annual dinner!

Indoor meeting focused on how we can utilise the subsurface in our region as we progress toward a low carbon future

Globally, two thirds of deaths arising from natural hazards in recent decades were caused by geological hazards. But how and why do natural hazards turn into disasters? In this talk Ekbal Hussain will explore this question through the lens of one particularly troublesome hazard: earthquakes.

Extreme events, such as floods, can cause significant damage to landscapes leading to widespread erosion and deposition of sediment. In the future, the frequency and magnitude of such events will increase as a result of climate change. Here, we identify the critical controls on sediment export from three contrasting tributary catchments in Upper Swaledale by examining the changes caused by a single high magnitude flash flood event in July 2019.

A trip to inspect the Jurassic ironstones and coal-bearing units of the North York Moors

Join the YGS for a walk along Yorkshire’s Jurassic coast to examine its wonderful ammonite faunas.

Crummack Dale exposes one of the Craven inliers. We will see limestone , a Silurian mudstone and a Carboniferous conglomerate overlying bedded and cleaved Ordovician basement.

Today the Yorkshire Geological Society’s Research Grant closes for applications!
