Geomicrobiology - How Microbes change the Earth - Laura Newsome, Lecturer in Applied Geomicrobiology, Camborne School of Mines and Environment and Sustainability Institute, University of Exeter.
Although microbes are very small, their metabolism changes the world, both in the present day and the geological past. This talk will introduce the field of geomicrobiology and give examples of how we can use microbes to clean up pollution and recovery metals from rocks.

The Ice Age in Cornwall: new perspectives on old problems
Professor James Scourse, Centre for Geography and Environmental Science, University of Exeter (Penryn).
The recently completed 6-year BRITICE-CHRONO NERC Large Grant has reconstructed in great detail the Last British-Irish Ice Sheet. Highlights in our region include new extensive offshore ice limits, very tight constraints on the timing and extent of the glaciation on Scilly but brought into sharper focus some longstanding problems, such as where was the ice limit offshore north Cornwall, or was north Cornwall glaciated after all?
