Volcanoes!

(20 May 2005)

Join Professor Jon Davidson in a free public lecture on Wednesday 1 June 2005 and discover what roles volcanoes have in shaping the planet and in the past our region.

Let him be your guide in finding out how volcanoes work, why they are only found in certain places, and what effects they can have on us and our environment.

This event forms part of Northern Rocks, the two-week North Pennines Festival of Geology and Landscape.

The talk, which takes place in Teaching Room 4 on the 2nd floor of the Earth Sciences Building of Durham University from 7 pm until 8pm, is one of 60 events in the festival that celebrates European Geoparks week.
