Celebrating Women in Planetary Geology: From Orkney & Iceland to Mars

Join us for a fascinating discussion chaired by Dr Catriona McAra (University of Aberdeen) between artist Ilana Halperin and our chair, Dr Claire Cousins (University of St Andrews).

This event spotlights the vital contributions of women to planetary geology. Ilana and Claire will share insights from their recent field trips to Orkney and Iceland, where they sought local geological ‘kin’ to creatively interpret the rock formations of distant Mars.
