These PowerPoint presentations have all been well received in the past. They are the result of many years work. Each presentation is between 45 and 55 minutes long. Please check with us as to our availability.
Repertoire of Lectures: UK. Northern Europe, Iceland, & Greenland
Operations Overlord and Neptune from a geological perspective. The role of Geologists in planning D-Day, the Normandy beach landings. The largest battle invasion in history on D-Day June 6th, 1944 was an immensely difficult strategic task that required much scientific preplanning. One of the more significant yet rarely discussed scientific disciplines – geology, played an astonishingly important role in pre and post invasion planning.
Long before the channel tunnel, England and France were joined at the hip. Explore the geological birth and significant historical events that have shaped this iconic waterway.
Orkney and Shetland: A Landscape Fashioned by Geology. Survey these outposts’ terrain, created by geologic upheaval and once inhabited by Neolithic man.
A Geological Perspective of The Industrial Revolution and the science it helped create. Serendipity and the fortunate juxtaposition of natural resources. (For UK Cruises)
Geological Connections: Giant leaps in innovation and invention in other sciences and disciplines that spurred on the science of geology as we now know it. (Specifically for UK Cruises)
Norway, its natural resources, from forager nation to oil rich 21st century powerhouse. The natural resources, topography and geology of Norway have played an immense part in the historical achievements and the character of the Norwegian people from their forager beginnings to their current oil rich fortunes.
Let’s explore the concept that Greenland and Canada were once joined to Scotland. In order to better understand and appreciate our itinerary let’s examine the geological and astronomical forces that have shaped life on planet Earth and the creation of Greenland.
Ice: a force of nature creating the fjords of Greenland and Canada. Let’s explore the Science behind Glaciers, Fjords, Ice and Snow. Greenland and Canada are home to the kingdom of ice and many natural wonders so let’s explore the origins and science that creates these spectacular scenic wonders.
The Hidden World Beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet. Let’s explore one of the most amazing islands from a geological and geographical perspective. What would Greenland would look like without the Ice – huge lakes, waterfalls, crators and canyons? Answers to all these questions and more.
The Heroic Exploits of the World's Greatest Arctic Explorers. Let’s look back at a heroic age, when explorers such as Nansen, Amundson, Peary and Cook ventured forth to conquer one of nature's last bastions.
A Brief History of Greenland and its Significance During World War Two and the Cold War Era. Frozen in time are the remnants of WW2, lost squadrons, Thule air force base, and the infamous nuclear base at Camp Century.
The Two-Mile Time Machine of Greenland: Polar ice cores have provided tremendous advances in our knowledge of past climate change. Let’s examine the science behind Greenland ice cores. What have we discovered, especially when this data is combined with other factors, about historical abrupt climate change?
