William Joscelyn Arkell (1904-1958): The UK’s greatest Jurassic Stratigrapher.

By Owen Green

William Joscelyn Arkell established an international reputation as the UK’s greatest Jurassic stratigrapher, yet outside the discipline of geology very few people know his name or what his contribution to Mesozoic stratigraphy and palaeontology achieved on both the national and global stage. 

All welcome – free to attend but donations towards the room hire are most welcome.  No need to book.

June’s lecture will be on Tuesday 17 June and will be Professor Tony Watts, emeritus professor at the Dept of Earth Sciences Oxford University, talking about The Hawaiian Emperior chain, seamounts and his encounters with some of the pioneers of Plate Tectonics. More details to follow.
