For two weeks at the beginning of July I got the opportunity to meet a whole bunch of interesting people at the British Geological Survey and speak with them about what they do, why they enjoy it and why it’s interesting. It’s been a great opportunity for me to geek out at all the amazing things the BGS is doing and the brilliant people who work there.

Dr Tim Kearsey used to be a PhD student at Plymouth University and now spends his time investigating Tetrapods, examining uncertainty in 3D models and exploring the sedimentology of many countries around the world. You can read the post here.

Here is the fourth post on the inspiring Keith Ambrose. Keith has worked for the BGS for nearly 40 years and along the way has become a leading advocate for preserving our geological heritage. Check out the post here.

Now that's a geology desk - maps and rocks everywhere!

Here is the second post on the football mad Stephanie Zihms, who is also a fluid process geoscientist who invents her own equipment!! Check out the post here.

I bet you can't guess which football team she supports, oh wait....

For the last two weeks I have been meeting people at the British Geological Survey and speaking with them about what they do, why they enjoy it and why it’s interesting. It’s been a great opportunity for me to geek out at all the amazing things the BGS is doing and the brilliant people who work there.

 

The first post is about Leanne Hughes, one of the Survey Geologists, who uses shiny new technology to map uncharted places for the Survey, and help us plan for flooding. She also makes a mean volcano model! Check out the post here.

 

More to come, so stay tuned!
