"Siccar Point (Scotland): the “birthplace” of modern geology" - Geography AberWorkshop
This virtual field trip takes you to a particularly special geological site located on the east coast of Scotland. It was at this site in 1788 that James Hutton changed perspectives on how we understand our planet. This virtual field trip will demonstrate how we can understand the geologic record by applying the concept of uniformitarianism which states that processes that occur today have operated throughout Earth’s history and will continue to do so in the future. This session will allow you to explore the outcrop yourself through an online based virtual outcrop model, enabling you to deduce the geological history of the area.
This workshop is also available through the medium of Welsh.
AberWorkshops are designed to be interactive and thought-provoking, providing valuable insight into university study and subject pathways while encouraging critical thinking and discussion.
