Publications & Presentations

LGS has been involved with many exciting geological and geophysical discoveries and regard publication and presentation of results as an important part of many projects carried out. We have published or assisted with the presentation of results in books, journals, magazines, field guides, websites, on video, in radio & TV programmes and at workshops & conferences. We are keen to collaborate in jointly publishing and presenting the results of commissioned projects.

Please see the following for a complete list of publications and presentations:

Players for the Drivetime audio clip include: QuickTime, RealPlayer, Windows Media Player and VLC Media Player
