Recording: Reading the Landscapes of Lough Erne: A Billion Years in the Making

Dr Kirstin Lemon takes us through a journey of geological story-telling, one that will take you on an adventure through tropical seas, lush rainforests, searing-hot deserts and icy wastelands, and a lot more besides, and all of which is evident in the rocks and landscapes that surround Lough Erne. The landscapes that surround Lough Erne formed as a direct result of the underlying geology and the processes that have acted upon it. Being able to understand that geology helps us to appreciate the incredible story of the area around Lough Erne, one of a journey that began nearly 1 billion years ago and is still continuing to this day.
