Join the University of Edinburgh – School of Geosciences for this Doors Open Day and #ScotGeolFest24 event on the 28th September, 10am – 4pm, at the King’s Buildings Campus, and discover where the science happens!

There’ll be lots of great activities including:

• See labs which support our research, measuring and modelling the Earth’s systems
• Chat with palaeontologists about fossils and prehistoric animals, and get your own fossils identified
• Find out how rocks appears under the microscope
• Learn about pyroclastic flows and volcanic eruptions using water tanks
• Hot ice: use pressure to make tiny ice crystals at room temperature
• Learn about the carboniferous forests that once grew in Scotland’s central belt

The Open Day also includes the Cockburn Geological Museum, which hosts our extensive collections of geological specimens!
