The life of William Arkell (1904-1958), a talk by Owen Green, Monday 19th May, 6pm
Owen Green will be talking about the enormous contribution made to Oxfordshire's geology by the work of W.J.Arkell. He is recognised as the UK’s greatest Jurassic stratigrapher, yet outside the discipline of geology very few people know his name or what his work on Mesozoic stratigraphy and palaeontology achieved on both the national and global stage.
Owen is chair of Oxfordshire Geology Trust and was formerly manager of the Geo-facilities Laboratories at the Oxford University Department of Earth Science.
19th May 2025
The talk will be in the Westwood Room of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History , Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PW, from 6 to 7 pm.
