The Ground We Stand On

The land is often seen as the canvas for human activity: a flat(ish) surface that we can build on, dig into and stand on. Surface area is becoming increasingly valuable – after all, they ain’t making any more of the stuff. This lecture will consider land – both rocks and soil, and build up a picture of what the land we stand on is doing, on both short and very long timescales. How should we think about the ground and its future?

A lecture by Professor Helen Czerski.
