The Rock Cycle
'The Rock Cycle’ – our new web-based teaching resource – is now available! This is essential material for science and geography students and teachers at Key Stage 3, and will be of interest to many more geoscientists.
Super-eruptions: reloaded!
The Super-eruptions publication is back on-line, as well as in print. This project was financed by The Geological Society and IAVCEI.
New accredited courses
Seven degree courses at King Abdul-Aziz University, Jeddah, have recently been accredited by the Society. Two further overseas applications are expected, and it is hoped that interest in accreditation at other universities in the Middle East will increase.
