Missing geological records found on Scottish islands
by editors@theworld.org (Stephen Snyder) from The World: Latest Stories on (#6Q1EW)
A new study has revealed that islands in the Scottish Hebrides may be the only place on Earth to have a detailed record of how the Earth entered a deep Ice Age hundreds of millions of years ago - and how the thaw which followed led to the emergence of the first animal life. The World's Host Marco Werman speaks with Elias Rugen, a PhD student at University College, London, and lead author of the study out this week in the Journal of the Geological Society of London, about the discovery.
