Geowalks is my business and my passion! Since 1998 I’ve been helping people to explore Scotland’s geology and discover the rich story of our rocks and landscapes. Geowalks is not a big company… it is just me, although sometimes I work in partnership with other Earth scientists who are experts in their fields or know an area particularly well.
Just as my PhD was finishing in 1995, I was invited to join the team monitoring the erupting volcano on Montserrat in the eastern Caribbean. During the two years that I worked at the Montserrat Volcano Observatory, the eruption worsened and the volcano had a catastrophic effect on the island and its small human population. I learned a lot more about volcanoes there, about the fascination and fear they cause, and about the challenges of communicating science to the general public.
Geowalks doesn’t take up all my time, I teach several adult education courses every year for the Centre for Open Learning at the University of Edinburgh, and lead geology walks courses for the City of Edinburgh Council Adult Education Programme. Over the years I’ve also worked for organisations such as the Edinburgh Geological Society, the Scottish Earth Science Education Forum, the John Muir Trust and the Earth Science Education Unit of the University of Keele.
