Talk by Josephine Collingwood, Dartmoor aficionado, BSc, ABIPP, FGS.
Josephine Collingwood will present an illustrated talk covering Dartmoor’s world-class geology; its formation, characteristics and mineral legacy. If your curiosity is piqued when looking at the tor formations or sparkles in the ground, then this talk is for you, whether you have a background in earth science or not. The talk will take you on a journey through deep time from Dartmoor’s earliest geological history to the present day. There will be plenty of bespoke illustrations, photographs of features, and yes, there will be photographs of rocks!
Josephine Collingwood graduated in geophysics from Southampton and later in photography from Plymouth. Based near Tavistock, she has lived in or around Dartmoor National Park since 1983.
