A walk of about 2 miles on good footpaths (which may be muddy in places) to look at the varied geology of Finchampstead Ridges – Eocene beds of sands\, clays and silts\, capped by gravel. The Ridges have panoramic views across the Blackwater valley towards Hampshire and the Hogsback Ridge in Surrey.

SUMMARY:Life at Deep-sea Hydrothermal Vents (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof Jon Copley (Univ of Southampton) \nThis talk explores the patterns of life at hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor\, where chemosynthesis sustains colonies of deep-sea animals that often form partnerships with microbes. Because of their island-like nature\, hydrothermal vents provide an ideal system to investigate processes of dispersal and evolution in the deep ocean that covers most of our world. \nThe Zoom link will be in our monthly newsletter or contact rdnhszoom@outlook.com. \n  \n \nA hydrothermal vent on the Juan de Fuca Ridge in the North Pacific Ocean off Vancouver Island (British-Columbia\, Canada) \n© V.

SUMMARY:Flora of the Eastern Pyrenees
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Brian Ferry (Royal Holloway College) \nFrom 1990-2010 Brian made annual visits to the eastern Pyrenees where he made detailed studies of the flora. The flora is essentially Mediterranean in type\, but with great altitudinal variation from lowland valleys\, often dominated by evergreen oak forests\, to high altitude beech and conifer forests\, both forms of scrub vegetation derived from Man’s activities over millennia. As well as focusing on the plants\, Brian spent time bird watching and moth trapping so these will get a mention too. \n
