Thinking like Hutton: Shaping the next 300 years

3 June @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

How can James Hutton’s approach to understanding Earth inform the decisions we make about its future today?

Three hundred years on from the birth of James Hutton, how can his approach to understanding Earth inform the decisions we make about its future?

Join renowned Professor Iain Stewart FRSE and expert panellists in this evening exploration of James Hutton’s legacy and its continued relevance today. Together, they will examine how Hutton’s interdisciplinary thinking can shape the future of geoscience in the 21st century. The panel will also discuss the balance between interdisciplinary and siloed research, the future of geo-governance and the practical steps needed to address current challenges.
