SUMMARY:CSES/ARU Christmas Lecture : Ice Age Essex
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
\n \n Ian and Ro
s aim to help you dig into a story of time\, clima
te\, ice – and a movable river. They reveal a stor
y of climate change across Essex by looking into l
andscapes in and around the county. We are in the
middle of a long Ice Age\, a sequence of many jump
s in climate between warm and very cold. The great
est impact of rivers upon the landscape is during
times of cold\, when spring thaws create huge torr
ents of water. River-bed gravels have been deposit
ed while the land has been rising constantly throu
ghout this time: ‘staircases’ of gravel terraces a
re seen in the landscape. For a short interval\, a
n ice sheet covered most of Essex and left a layer
of ‘till’ across the county. Discover your own ev
idence in rocks and pebbles\, in the land\, at the
seaside – and even in church walls. The landscape
will change again many times as climate continues
to oscillate: see the future of Essex.

DESCRIPTION:\n \n \n \n Ian and Ros aim to help you dig into a
story of time\, climate\, ice – and a movable riv
er. They reveal a story of climate change across E
ssex by looking into landscapes in and around the
county. We are in the middle of a long Ice Age\, a
sequence of many jumps in climate between warm an
d very cold. The greatest impact of rivers upon th
e landscape is during times of cold\, when spring
thaws create huge torrents of water. River-bed gra
vels have been deposited while the land has been r
ising constantly throughout this time: ‘staircases
’ of gravel terraces are seen in the landscape. Fo
r a short interval\, an ice sheet covered most of
Essex and left a layer of ‘till’ across the county
. Discover your own evidence in rocks and pebbles\
