  • Description:

    As the title implies, this is an introduction to geology designed for people who have no previous knowledge of the subject - no scientific background is required. We will start by explaining the basic principles of the subject and introducing many of the people who developed them. Later topics will include volcanoes and earthquakes, the movement of the continents and the mutual evolution of the Earth and life. Although not essential, access to the internet and email will be of benefit to participants.
