Just spent a while sorting through a groaning tower of stuff which I had to bring home from GA HQ in Solly Street last week, and which needs organising.
Came across a disc which was sent to me following my attendance at a lecture by Professor Iain Stewart and a PhD colleague Kate Donovan back in September 2009. Here are 2 sample slides from the materials...
One exciting date ahead for 2012 is a planned conference in Geneva, Switzerland where I will be leading some workshop sessions and Professor Stewart is scheduled to provide the keynote lecture.
If you can't wait for that, and can't get to Geneva, you have a chance to see him speak later this month.
Rob Morris of the GA Shropshire branch, which meets at Shrewsbury School sent me these details...

Geology Professor and BBC TV and Radio presenter Iain
Stewart is coming to Shrewsbury School in September to give a lecture to
commemorate the 60th anniversary of the formation of the Shropshire Branch of
the Geographical Association. Professor Stewart is a professor of Geoscience
Communication at Plymouth University (the only one in the world) and should be
familiar to BBC 2 viewers and Radio 4 listeners for his various programmes.
Prof. Stewart has presented a number of documentary
series on BBC 2 that include
Earth: The Power of the Planet, How Earth Made Us and has
also presented numerous editions of Horizon. He is a very familiar face to
geography students at Shrewsbury through his TV programmes that deal with how
Geography and Geology have influenced humankind's existance on the planet.
His next series due to be screened in the Autumn or early
in 2012 is entitled 'The Green Planet' and is a journey going back 400 million
years in Earth's history to discover how plants have shaped the face of our
planet, taking a barren alien rock and transforming it into the home we know
today. This will be the subject of his talk.
The talk will take place in the Alington Hall at 7pm on
Wednesday 28th September.
Tickets are free and can be obtained by emailing Rob Morris
(rhm@shrewsbury.org.uk).
Please supply an address where the tickets can be sent.
There will be a retiring collection for a charity of
Iain's choice (to be announced) and Shrewsbury House, a youth and community
centre in Everton in Liverpool that is supported by Shrewsbury School.
