Warwickshire Geological Conservation Group - WGCG
Guests, visitors & new members are always welcome • Know nothing? That's fine! • Any level of interest or knowledge or experience in geology is welcome • Come along, take look, give it a try • Got a question or a rock query? Ask us!
Warwickshire Geological Conservation Group (WGCG) a registered charity, number: 1144717, was established in 1990 by a few enthusiasts who wanted to raise awareness of and conserve the many rock exposures dotted around the county. The membership has since grown and includes many enthusiastic amateurs, students and teachers as well as some professional geologists. The group has three major aims:
To inform: Learn about our rocks, minerals and fossils and how the geology has shaped our landscape.
To conserve: Help to conserve Warwickshire’s natural heritage by joining one of our work parties to improve the conditions of our valuable sites.
To encourage: Above all, we hope you will want to share in the passion of learning all about our fascinating geology

This could ve verry interesting, but the slides go to fast to read. The story told hard to hear.... suggestion make a part 2: tell the story and introduce us in this interesting science. Gr from the Netherlands
I'm not listening to an hour of butchering Icelandic words.
I'm finding them in the San Gorgonio pass about 2400 ft above sea level I don't know how they got up here but they're very neat
Fascinating talk. Thank you. I shall never look at flint nodules in the same way again!
How did all these earth layers occur so nicely horizontal even 11,000 feet on top of each other all over the planet? Ancient knowledge from various sources tells us about a celestial body that causes disasters all over our planet. And that happens at long time intervals. Here 'long' means a few thousand years. That celestial body, a planet that is orbiting our sun in an eccentric orbit, has a very strong gravitational force when it is crossing the ecliptic plane of the other planets at a very high speed, close to our planet Earth. That gravitational force pulls up water even above the highest mountains. When that gravity decreases the mostly salt water falls back onto our planet mixed with sand, clay, lime, fossils of terrestrial and marine animals, shells but also a deposit of dust and meteorites from the cloud that is surrounding that planet 9. A several feet thick mud layer remains. The confusing fact for geologists is that every layer contains organic matter from animals and vegetation that lived and grew at the time that the layer was formed, but also a lot of very ancient deposition from the dust cloud that is surrounding planet 9. And this deposition must be the same age in each layer. Thanks to James Hutton and Charles Lyell, geologists took the wrong turn. To learn much more about planet 9, the recurring flood cycle and its timeline, the rebirth of civilizations and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". This book answers many of your questions about ancient history. It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: planet 9 roest
Plate tectonics is a better explanation
I’m going to rum at the end of the month for my third year geology field trip! This has helped me understand the evolution, thank you :)
It was really good of you to leave this encouraging feed back. I hope the weather is kind to you for your field trip.
A great document of the Arden Sandstone, well done
I enjoyed the lecture very much, so many thanks. Was just looking to remind myself of the name of the Beinn an Dubhaich granite, and this lecture popped up. Very interesting, and extremely clearly presented.
Amazing presentation. The modern world owes much to this beautiful mind. Sorby was the best kind of scientist, humble, diligent, self-sacrificing. If only our intellectuals could have have half the moral fiber men like Sorby had, we'd be far more advanced I reckon. Thank you!
Good job! Those are some nice fluvial features!
This takes me back! Simon was one of my tutors at Birkbeck during my undergrad and led our Skye trip. Interesting to see mention of silicic volcanics on Arran. I've found a few rocks that I thought looked like accretionary lapilli or ignimbrites on various field trips.
Hi Brooke, Definately! Check out Gooday et al 2018 A proximal record of caldera forming eruptions: the stratigraphy, eruptive history, and collapse of the Palaeogene Arran Caldera, western Scotland. These silicic ignimbrites get around (as do the sauropds and stegasaurus!!)
@@simondrake7894 thanks Simon, will do!
That was fascinating, thank you.
Very nice, sounded quite windy. It would be cool if you could talk about the age and depo environment of the rocks too. I'm always interested in hearing about units and locations that are new to me!
When we do a tidy up of the site I will endeavour to provide a follow on geo description video. (FYI It Late Triassic Arden Sandstone).
@@WGCG Thanks, will read up on that! I feel like the Triassic in the UK is a bit neglected, especially stuff that's not Mercia or Sherwood. I'm looking forward to seeing the cleared section, so many great outcrops are in this state atm.
Thank you Stuart for a very interesting and informative lecture.
Very interesting thank you. I couldn’t come on the trip this time, but hope to in the future.
brilliant info.. cleared so much up of my "ideas" of how it all came together.. now then... how do I get the boat over..... 😊
That professor who "explains away" the mantle plume is simply wrong. Seismic tomography has proven mantle plumes exist in general and has also shown the existence of one under Iceland. Fluid dynamics also says convective plumes exist in the mantle. If she "explains away" (ignores it because she doesn't like it or it has inconvenient implications for her pet theories) something as well-evidenced as mantle plumes then why should any notice be taken at all of anything geologically-related she says? Her "explaining away" thoroughly discredits her professional opinions in all areas of geology.
Thanks for this - really enjoyed this lecture!
Is there any gemstones growing in that kind of place/stone ?
recently started following this channel,geology was my first love and wanted to do it as a career ,but sadly my parents didnt think so for selfish reasons,now retired getting into it .
when I studied geology in college 1961. I was told that women cant get work in geology,,,, I chose another career but always followed the news in geology, took classes and went on field trips. Now retired and enjoying immersing in KZreads .
I took my husband and three kids to Iceland in 1996. We took a ride to see where. Grimsvotn erupted under the ice. A typical comment from one of our kids. "OH no! Not another geology field trip!" Yes, kids, it was.
1) By reflecting away 30% of ISR the albedo, which would not exist w/o the atmosphere, makes the earth cooler than it would be without the atmosphere like that reflective panel set on the dash. Remove the atmosphere/GHGs and the earth becomes much like the moon, a barren rock with a 0.1 albedo, 20% more kJ/h, hot^3 on the lit side, cold^3 on the dark. Nikolov, Kramm (U of AK) and UCLA Diviner mission all tacitly agree. 2) the GHG up/down welling, “trapping”/”back” radiating/delaying/intercepting, 100 % efficient, perpetual warming loop requires "extra" energy which according to RGHE theory it gets from 3) the terrestrial surface radiating that "extra" energy as a near ideal .95 emissivity black body which 4) it cannot do because of the non-radiative heat transfer processes of the contiguous atmospheric molecules. 1+2+3+4 = 0 Greenhouse Effect + 0 Greenhouse gas warming + 0 man caused climate change. All science backed up by experiment, the gold standard of classical science. www.linkedin.com/posts/nicholas-schroeder-55934820_climatechange-greenhouse-co2-activity-6749812735246254080-bc6K
Excellent delivery!
it is so lovely to learn about my local geology, thanks so much for this source. consider my mind blown!!!
