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\
 , in the land\, at the seaside – and even in churc
 h walls. The landscape will change again many time
 s as climate continues to oscillate: see the futur
 e of Essex.\n \n \n \n Ian and Ros are retired geo
 logists who can’t stop talking about landscapes an
 d rocks. They both gained degrees in geology in th
 e same year\, at Birkbeck\, University of London. 
 Ian worked for the Geological Survey and Museum an
 d then the Gemmological Association as Director of
  Education. Ros worked as a geophysicist and petro
 leum geologist\, on seismic interpretation for Nor
 th Sea oil\, and later became a teacher of geology
  and physics. They have travelled around the UK an
 d the world to catch sight of many geological wond
 ers - from jade to gravel. They found plenty of gr
 avel back home in Essex and now like to help peopl
 e wonder why it’s here!\n \n \n \n To reserve plac
