Earth Science Week 2020 runs from Sunday 11th to Saturday 17th October 2020 in the UK and Ireland, with the theme this year being ‘Earth materials in our lives‘.
Coordinated by the Geological Society of London and American Geoscience Institute in the US, this week is an international celebration of the geology all around us.
The event now takes place in an increasing number of countries around the world and this year’s theme explores the ways that Earth materials impact humans and the ways in which human activity impacts these materials in the 21st century.
Through public events like geowalks, hands-on activities, talks and open days, organisations and individuals aim to raise public awareness of geology and how it affects our lives. Click here to find out how to get involved or to explore the resources available from the Geological Society website.
