If you have a question about this talk, please contact Alex Lipp.

The geology of building stones is often overlooked by the academic community and tends to be dismissed as nothing more than an outreach activity; what remains in a quarry is of more interest than what has been removed. This talk aims to change that view and highlight the importance of stone in architecture and cultural heritage. A knowledge of building and decorative stones can lead to unexpected career paths both in industry and in cross-disciplinary research.

All welcome to attend, free for members of the Sedgwick Club, £2 for non-members. Refreshments provided!
